Excavator Engine Crankshaft Fracture Problem

 The fracture of the crankshaft usually starts from the smallest crack, and most of the cracks occur in the connection part with the crank arm at the fillet of the connecting rod journal of the head cylinder or the end cylinder. During the operation, the crack gradually expands and suddenly breaks when it reaches a certain level. The brown part is often found on the broken surface, which is an old crack, and the shiny and shiny tissue is the trace that developed to the sudden breakage later. LandTopMall is a store that integrates various engine parts such as excavators and diesel engines. There are many high-quality parts in our store. For instance, crankshafts fit for Yanmar 4tnv94l engine were the best-selling.

Engine Crankshaft Fracture Problem

  1. The rounded corners at both ends of the crankshaft journal are too small

When grinding the crankshaft, the grinder failed to correctly control the axial fillet of the crankshaft. In addition to the rough surface processing, the fillet radius was too small, so a large stress concentration occurred at the fillet when the crankshaft was working, and the crankshaft was shortened. fatigue life.

 

  1. The offset of crankshaft main journal axis

The axis of the crankshaft main journal is offset, which destroys the dynamic balance of the crankshaft assembly. When the diesel engine runs at high speed, a strong inertial force is generated, which leads to the fracture of the crankshaft.

 

  1. The cold competition of the crankshaft is too large

The crankshaft will be greatly bent after long-term use, especially after the accident of burning tiles or pounding the cylinder, and should be removed and corrected by cold pressing. Due to the plastic deformation of the metal inside the crankshaft during calibration, large additional stress will be generated, thereby reducing the strength of the crankshaft. If the cold competition is too large, the crankshaft may be damaged or cracked, and this crankshaft will break soon after installation.

 

  1. The flywheel is loose

If the flywheel bolt is loose, the crankshaft assembly will lose its original dynamic balance, and the diesel engine will vibrate after running, and at the same time generate a large inertial force, resulting in fatigue of the crankshaft and easy breakage at the rear end.

  1. The crankshaft itself is of poor quality

Buying crankshafts should not be greedy for cheap and must be purchased from regular channels. It should also be checked carefully before installation, and if there is any problem, it should be replaced or returned in time. In addition, when the engine is overhauled, the crankshaft should be subjected to magnetic flaw detection or oil-immersed percussion inspection. If there are radial or axial cracks extending to the shoulder fillet on the surface of the journal, the crankshaft cannot be reused. LandTopMall is a leading crankshafts supplier, our crankshafts are provided by an experienced manufacturing company from Global Sources. Currently the best-selling crankshaft in LandTopMall, it is not only suitable for Yanmar 4tnv94l engine but also suitable for Komatsu 4d94le engine.

 

  1. The main bush is different from the shaft

When the crankshaft is assembled, if the center lines of the main bushes on the cylinder block are not on the same axis, the accident of burning the bushes and holding the axles will easily occur after the diesel engine works, and the crankshaft will also break under the strong action of alternating stress.

 

  1. Excessive crankshaft assembly clearance

If the clearance between the crankshaft journal and the bearing bush is too large, the crankshaft will impact the bearing bush after the diesel engine runs, but the alloy falls off and the bush is burned to hold the shaft, and the crankshaft is also easily damaged.

 

  1. The oil supply time is too early or the oil volume of each cylinder is uneven

If the fuel injection pump supplies fuel too early, the piston will burn before reaching the top dead center, which will cause the diesel engine to knock, and the crankshaft will be impacted by alternating stress. If the amount of oil supplied to each cylinder is not uniform, the crankshaft journals will be unevenly stressed due to the inconsistency of the explosion cases of each cylinder, resulting in premature fatigue and cracks.

 

  1. Poor crankshaft lubrication

If the oil pump is seriously worn, the lubricating oil channel is dirty and the circulation is not smooth, the oil supply will be insufficient and the oil pressure will drop, resulting in the failure to form a normal lubricating oil film between the crankshaft and the bearing bush, resulting in dry friction and causing the burning bush to hold the shaft. , broken crankshaft, and other major accidents

 

  1. Crankshaft fracture caused by improper operation

If the accelerator is too large or too small, frequent braking, or overloaded operation for a long time, the crankshaft will be damaged by excessive torque or shock load. In addition, when accidents such as speeding, ramming, and top valve occur in the diesel engine, the crankshaft is also prone to breakage.

Simple Introduction and Maintenance of Excavator Olecranon Shears

Image
 What are olecranon scissors? How to maintain the olecranon shears? Next, I will briefly introduce it to you. The olecranon shears are heavy-duty hydraulic shears, large cylinders, mounted on excavators for dismantling scraps such as scrap trucks, shears, steel, tanks, pipes, etc. These shears can be used in different work scenarios, including the dismantling of workshops, recycling of waste materials, etc., and can cut iron materials. Unique design and innovation guarantee olecranon shears for steel, cans, tubes, etc. The machine has high efficiency and strong cutting force, and its performance is more than 15% compared with ordinary hydraulic shearing machines. It is one of the larger shear forces in the hydraulic shearing of excavators.     The olecranon scissors can be used to cut waste materials. It can also be applied to the recycling of scrap metal materials, the recycling, and reuse of scrap steel, the dismantling of scrapped automobiles, etc. Realize 360-degree h...

YANMAR Europe well represented at Europe 2022

Image
  From 2 to 5 November 2022 will once again open its physical doors. Yanmar Europe will be there (Hall 1, station 224) to personally introduce visitors to the latest developments in ship engines. This is the first time we have exhibited together at the Joint Booth (Booth 1, Booth 227) with Nikofken, one of our marine engine service distributors in Yanmar, the Netherlands. Nikofken specializes in major repairs and spare parts sales of mainframe and auxiliaries. For 35 years, the company has been an important partner in Yanmar's dealer network. The Dutch market is important Yanmar's European headquarters is in Almere, making the Dutch home market an important one. As a result of their long-standing good relationship with Nikoverken, it was a logical decision that also significantly reinforced each other's advantages in European ports. Visitors can see and experience with their own eyes that the original Japanese Yanmar engine and real parts can also be fast and reliable in th...

Analysis Scheme of Common Fault Causes of Excavators

Image
  Why is it difficult to start the excavator in winter? It is not only determined by its technical conditions but also affected by the outside temperature. It is more difficult to start at a low temperature in winter, mainly due to the following reasons:   (1) In winter, the climate is cold, the ambient temperature is low, the viscosity of the oil increases, and the frictional resistance of various moving parts increases, which reduces the starting speed and makes it difficult to start.   (2) The capacity of the battery decreases as the temperature drops, which further reduces the starting speed.   (3) Due to the reduction of the starting speed, the leakage of compressed air increases, and the heat dissipation of the cylinder wall increases, which greatly reduces the temperature and pressure of the air at the end of compression, which increases the delay period of diesel ignition, and even cannot be burned in severe cases.   (4) The viscosity of diesel oil at lo...
