Steering Cylinder for Mining Dump Truck
The steering cylinder of mining dump truck is an important part of vehicle steering. The cylinder barrel is provided with a buffer cavity, a guide hole and an oil cavity from the first end to the second end in turn. The steering cylinder has its own buffer function, and can realize the hydraulic steering rebound to achieve the role of auxiliary steering. The design and structure of the steering cylinder make it able to withstand large steering torque and side force to ensure the stability and safety of the mining dump truck during the steering process. At the same time, the sealing performance and wear resistance of the steering cylinder are also high, which can meet the needs of the mining dump truck in harsh working conditions.
Specifications of Steering Cylinders in Mining Dump Trucks
The specifications of a steering cylinder in a mining dump truck vary based on the truck's size and weight. However, all these cylinders must generate substantial force to rotate the truck's heavy wheels.
| Steering Cylinders | |
| Application: | Wheel steering provides assistance |
| Specification: | Bore diameter 63mm-210mm Rod diameter 40mm-100mm Stroke ≤2000mm |
| Thrust force | Maximum 779KN (Bore diameter 210mm/pressure 22.5MPa) |
A steering cylinder for a mining dump truck is a hydraulic component essential for turning the truck's front wheels. It plays a vital role in the steering system and must endure the demanding conditions of mining activities.
Typically, steering cylinders in mining dump trucks are double-acting, allowing them to exert force in both directions. This capability is crucial for enabling the truck's wheels to turn left and right. The cylinder generally includes a piston rod that extends and retracts to facilitate wheel movement.
Components & Operations of a Steering Cylinder for a Mining Dump Truck
- Components: The main components of a steering cylinder for a mining dump truck include:
- Cylinder body: The main housing, usually made of steel.
- Piston rod: A metal rod that extends and retracts to turn the wheels.
- Piston: A metal disc attached to the piston rod, moving within the cylinder body.
- Seals: Prevent hydraulic fluid leakage.
- Ports: Openings in the cylinder body for hydraulic fluid entry and exit.
- Operation: The steering cylinder operates using hydraulic fluid to generate force. Hydraulic fluid enters the cylinder body through one of the ports. The pressure pushes the piston rod in or out, depending on the port used, causing the truck's wheels to turn.
How Does a Steering Cylinder Work?
To steer a mining dump truck, the driver turns the steering wheel, which moves a piston in the steering cylinder, causing the piston rod to extend or retract. This action turns the front wheels in the desired direction.
The steering cylinder operates on hydraulic fluid, which is pumped into the cylinder body through one of the ports. This fluid pushes against the piston, causing it and the attached piston rod to move.
The piston rod connects to the steering linkage, linking the steering wheel to the front wheels. When the piston rod moves, it turns the steering linkage, which, in turn, steers the front wheels.

Dump Truck Hydraulic Cylinders Review
William Clark, Project Engineer
For our latest infrastructure project, we needed dump trucks equipped with reliable and high-performance hydraulic cylinders. After thorough research, we partnered with GBC, their account manager, who provided comprehensive information and custom solutions tailored to our project requirements. The cylinders have proven to be highly durable, withstanding the constant heavy loads and variable weather conditions. They’ve also contributed to better fuel efficiency by optimizing the truck’s hydraulic system. Their proactive approach to follow-up and ensuring we had all necessary spare parts has been a game-changer. Our project timeline has stayed on track thanks to these reliable cylinders.
