Understanding Excavator Bucket Teeth

Users who have driven excavators and loaders must have encountered the situation of replacing bucket teeth. We must be curious about the function of bucket teeth. When replacing bucket teeth, we must also want to know what kind of bucket teeth to buy. CSW Machinery will tell you this knowledge below.

The structure and function of bucket teeth:

The bucket teeth of an excavator are the main vulnerable parts of the excavator. Similar to human teeth, they are composed of a tooth seat and a tooth tip, which are connected by a pin. Since the tooth tip is the part that fails due to wear, it only needs to be replaced.

According to the use environment, the bucket teeth of excavators can be divided into rock teeth (used in iron ore, stone mine, etc.), earthwork teeth (used in soil, sand, etc.), and conical teeth (used in coal mines). However, the bucket teeth of different brands of excavators also have their own characteristics.

Commonly used in: earthwork, excavation of river sand and other fine and soft geological materials.	Commonly used for: sand, gravel, rock and other geological	Commonly used for: rock, frozen soil

The function of bucket teeth:

1. Effectively protect the entire bucket. Bucket teeth are consumable parts. Since the excavator bucket wears out greatly when shoveling soil and stones, the bucket teeth protect the bucket. Just imagine how the bucket would be worn without bucket teeth...

2. The excavator bucket can act as a buffer for the excavator during operation.

How to choose the right bucket teeth:

When purchasing bucket teeth for excavators, the appropriate bucket tooth model and material should be selected according to the specific working environment and construction needs. Generally speaking, wear-resistant forged bucket teeth and high-alloy bucket teeth are suitable for working in harsh environments, while alloy bucket teeth and ordinary bucket teeth are suitable for digging soil, coal, sand, mud, etc. with low hardness. At the same time, factors such as working depth, impact on the transmission parts of the machine, and workload should also be considered. In actual work, we need to select different bucket tooth models and materials according to the working conditions, and perform daily maintenance and care on the bucket teeth to extend their life and improve work efficiency.

The following is an introduction to common bucket tooth models and their applicable scope:

1. S-type bucket teeth S-type bucket teeth are suitable for medium and large models of excavators, and are suitable for working conditions where the excavation depth exceeds 3 meters and the impact on the machine transmission parts is small.

2. K-type bucket teeth K-type bucket teeth are suitable for various models of excavators, and are suitable for working conditions where the excavation depth is between 1-2 meters and there is a certain impact on the machine transmission parts.

3. TL-type bucket teeth TL-type bucket teeth are suitable for various models of excavators, and are suitable for working conditions where the excavation depth is between 1-2 meters and there is a greater impact on the machine transmission parts.

4. RC-type bucket teeth RC-type bucket teeth are suitable for various models of excavators, and are suitable for excavation of soil, gravel, etc. with shallow excavation depth and low strength.

5. H-type bucket teeth H-type bucket teeth are suitable for heavy-duty cleaning operations of heavy excavators and excavating machinery, and can also be used for work in quarries and dumping sites.

Suggestions on maintenance and extending service life of excavator bucket teeth!

1. During the use of the excavator bucket teeth, the outermost bucket teeth of the bucket wear 30% faster than the innermost teeth. After a period of use, the bucket teeth should be swapped inside and outside.

2. The excavator driver should pay attention to the excavation angle during operation, and try to master it when digging. The bucket teeth should be perpendicular to the working surface when digging down to avoid breaking the bucket teeth due to excessive inclination.

3. Be careful not to swing the excavation arm left and right under the condition of large resistance, which can easily cause the bucket teeth and tooth seats to break due to excessive left and right forces, and the left and right force design is not considered.

4. The wear of the tooth seat is also very important for the service life of the excavator bucket teeth. It is recommended to replace the tooth seat after the tooth seat is worn out by 10%. There is a large gap between the tooth seat and the bucket teeth that is worn too much, which changes the coordination between the bucket teeth and the tooth seat and the force point, and the bucket teeth break due to the change of the force point.

5. The driving method of the excavator driver is also critical to improving the utilization rate of the bucket teeth. The excavator driver should try not to retract the bucket when lifting the arm, and pay special attention to the coordination of the action during operation.Some excavator drivers often use too much force when extending and lowering the arm, causing the bucket to drop on the rock. This can break or crack the bucket teeth and damage the arm and lower arm.
