Bucket actuator assembly with resilient bump stop
11401683 · 2022-08-02 · ·

A work tool includes a bucket and a hydraulic actuator that pivots the bucket on a frame. The loaded bucket applies a maximum compressive force Fc against a resilient bump stop, which reacts a proportion of the applied force as a restoring force Fr against the actuator. A major proportion of the applied maximum compressive force Fc is reacted between the piston and cylinder, while the restoring force Fr is arranged to be greater than the force Fe applied by the self weight of the empty bucket, such that (Fc>2.Math.Fr), and (Fr>Fe).

Crusher bucket with jaws

A crusher bucket comprising a casing in which there are mounted crushing means comprising a fixed jaw and a movable jaw, in which the movable jaw is supported on the casing by means of a pair of eccentric shafts, wherein at least one of the eccentric shafts is directly fixed to the side walls of the casing.
