What is the difference between boom and arm cylinders?
Release Time :
2025-02-08
On a hydraulic excavator, the boom and stick cylinder assembly controls the movement of the boom and stick arms. These important components utilize pressurized hydraulic fluid to create linear motion that enables the excavator to perform digging, lifting, and loading tasks.

Boom Cylinder: The boom cylinder is connected to the boom and enables the boom to move vertically. It allows the excavator to raise and lower the boom for digging, lifting, and reaching different heights.
Bucket Cylinder: The bucket cylinder is responsible for operating the excavator's bucket. It controls the opening and closing of the bucket claws or the tilting movement of the bucket. This cylinder allows the operator to dig, scoop, and release materials.

The right boom and stick cylinder assembly is essential for optimal performance and life of the excavator. Choosing the right size and a reputable manufacturer is key. High-quality hydraulic cylinder assemblies precisely control boom and stick movement for smooth and efficient operation. By understanding cylinder types and assemblies, owners can select the right components for their excavator size and working conditions. With a solid cylinder assembly, an excavator can take on demanding jobs and keep working efficiently.
