Shoveling Plate Cylinder
This shoveling plate cylinder is a critical actuator of the loading system in steep incline hard rock excavators. Mounted between the shoveling plate arm and the machine frame, it extends and retracts its piston rod to tilt or translate the plate, enabling efficient mucking, gathering, and loading of blasted rock onto the conveyor at the tunnel face. An ultra-high-pressure short-stroke design (rated 40 MPa) delivers 615 kN of powerful thrust from a compact bore, withstanding the frequent impacts, side loads, and abrasive wear typical of hard rock excavation. Combined with a high-strength alloy steel barrel, a precision hard-chrome plated piston rod, multi-stage dust-proof seals, and bidirectional cushioning, it provides stable, reliable, and leak-free reciprocating motion under the severe conditions of high pressure, heavy dust, intense vibration, and inclined operation — making it a key component for continuous loading and rapid advance.
