New Range! - Type 844
When
JCB, the global manufacturer of construction machines, identified a
need for a step improvement in the performance of their hydraulic
cylinder sealing systems, Hallite Seals were given the
opportunity to provide an engineered solution for this demanding
requirement and they repsonded immediately with their snap-in
Type 844 wiper made from high-performance HalliteŠ 361
polyurethane.
JCB construction machines work extremely
hard in arduous and highly contaminated conditions.
Therefore it was identified that no ingress of contamination was
acceptable into the sealing system, to achieve this goal the new
wiper seal was developed. The rod wipers' function is to
ensure that no ingress of dirt, moisture or any other
contamination enters the cylinder which can cause serious damage.
The
double lip design of the Type 844 has a special feature of a flap on
the external wiping lip which covers the gland housing. This flap
prevents the water/slurry trap occuring which is so common with
conventional wipers and thereby stops contamination from getting around
the outside of the wiper.
The wiper showed its ability to clear
surface crost/ice whilst operating at temperatures down to -45°C and also
working in environments of 110°C radiated heat.
Results of
initial in-house tests were so encouraging that JCB engineers took the
decision to install the wiper in the glands of the bucket and leg ram
cylinders, the two areas which are the most arduous and highly
contaminated. Extensive field trials were conducted and the
Hallite wiper functioned perfectly outperforming all other competitors'
designs. The success of these trials and the performance of this
product have led to the Hallite T844 wiper achieving engineering sign
off across all JCB equipment.
