Double Shield Tunnel Boring Machine Support Shoe Cylinder

Double Shield TBM Support Shoe Cylinder Specifications

Double shield tunnel boring machines represent a significant advancement in tunneling technology, specifically engineered to dig tunnels through hard rock formations. These machines feature two shields: a front shield that contains the cutterhead for rock excavation, and a gripper shield that includes gripper shoes to stabilize against the tunnel walls. The support shoe cylinders play a vital role in this operation, as they extend to push the gripper shield forward, providing the essential reaction force needed for the machine's movement.

Typically constructed from high-strength steel, these support shoe cylinders are designed to endure the intense pressures and forces encountered during tunneling. Safety features, such as pressure relief valves and overstroke protection mechanisms, are standard. Customization is crucial, taking into account factors like tunnel diameter, rock type, and depth of tunneling during the design and production of these cylinders.
