“Swivel Joint” is a component used in a hydraulic system, especially in construction machinery and similar applications. This part allows the hydraulic hoses and fittings to rotate so that the work machine parts can perform rotational motion while remaining connected to each other. Swivel Joint overhaul includes maintenance and repair of this swivel joint.
The Swivel Joint revision process may include these steps:
- Evaluation and Analysis: The current situation of Swivel Joint is evaluated. Leaks, corrosion, cracks, and other potential problems are reviewed.
- Disassembly: Swivel Joint is dismantled for revision. During this process, the internal structure of the parts is examined in detail.
- Cleaning: The parts are cleaned and any impurities, oil residues or other residues are removed.
- Peak: The components of the Swivel Joint are inspected for wear, cracks or damage. If necessary, parts are repaired or replaced.
- Lubrication: The bearings and swivel joints of the Swivel Joint are properly lubricated.
- Assembly: The repaired or replaced parts are assembled for reassembly of the Swivel Joint.
- Testing and Adjustment: The revised Swivel Joint is tested and necessary adjustments are made. The functionality of the swivel joint, leakage control, and rotational motion are examined.
Swivel Joint revision is important to ensure the proper functioning of the hydraulic systems of the work machine and to extend the life of the swivel joint. This operation is usually performed by technicians with experience in hydraulic system maintenance. The original equipment manufacturer’s recommendations and instructions should be taken into account during the overhaul process.
