Working Principle of Pedestal Boom System

Working Principle of Pedestal Boom System

Hydraulic Power System:

The operation of pedestal boom system mainly relies on a hydraulic power system. A hydraulic power unit supplies pressurized oil to drive the various hydraulic cylinders attached to the boom. These cylinders control the extension, retraction, rotation, and elevation of the boom. By precisely adjusting the flow and pressure of the hydraulic oil, operators can manipulate the position and orientation of the rock breaker attached at the end of the boom with great accuracy. The hydraulic system offers smooth and responsive control, enabling quick adaptation to different working conditions and target positions.

Rock Breaker Attachment:

The rock breaker mounted on the end of the boom is the key component for actually breaking the rocks. It usually consists of a piston, valve group, and a chisel or tool bit made of extremely hard alloy steel. Inside the rock breaker, the hydraulic pressure causes the piston to move back and forth rapidly. This reciprocating motion is transferred to the tool bit, which then strikes the rock surface at a high frequency and with significant force. The continuous impacts gradually fracture the rock into smaller pieces. Different types of rock breakers are available, with varying impact energies and frequencies, to handle rocks of different hardness levels and sizes.
