What are oil pipe joints? They are a type of hydraulic accessory commonly used in modern construction machinery. Their quality and installation quality largely determine the subsequent stability and safety of the machinery. Therefore, caution is advised when installing a hydraulic swivel joint. The following precautions should be taken:
1. Avoid impact and dropping the oil pipe joint during transportation and storage to prevent damage to the joint and internal components.
2. Install the joint concentrically as much as possible to ensure proper operation of the swivel joint.
3. When installing a threaded swivel joint, ensure that the threads of the inner and outer pipes align with the direction of rotation of the drum, and that the threads of the inner and outer pipes are aligned.
4. The connection between the oil pipe joint and the pipeline must be made using a flexible hose (we recommend using a metal hose with good resistance to wear). Rigid connections are prohibited.
5. Whenever possible, connect the inlet and outlet of the oil pipe joint directly to the flexible hose. This reduces the weight of the joint and prolongs its service life.
6. When assembling the inner pipe, pay attention to dimensional coordination and weight support. For internally rotating swivel joints, a tolerance of H8/e7 is recommended for the inner pipe and joint. 7. The support and anti-rotation of the oil pipe joint should be appropriate. Generally, the rod diameter should be 2mm smaller than the anti-rotation hole to avoid affecting the free adjustment and compensation of the rotary joint.
