Open Tunnel Boring Machine Thrust Cylinder

Specifications of the Open Tunnel Boring Machine Thrust Cylinder

The thrust cylinder for the open tunnel boring machine (TBM) is a vital hydraulic component responsible for propelling the TBM forward. Its function is essential to the overall operation of the machine, as it must produce sufficient force to advance against the natural resistance of the surrounding ground. Positioned at the rear of the tunnel boring machine, these thrust cylinders connect to the main bearing via thrust jacks, transferring force to push the machine ahead. Typically constructed from high-strength steel, they are engineered to endure the tough conditions encountered during underground tunneling.

Key Features of Open TBM Thrust Cylinders

• Exceptional strength and durability to handle the extreme conditions typical of underground tunneling
• Significant thrust capacity designed to push the TBM forward through challenging ground conditions
• Compact design that minimizes the overall size and weight of the TBM
• Low maintenance needs, resulting in reduced downtime and operating costs
• Convenient to service and repair
