Making a BIG Nut for Hydraulic Cylinder | Machining & Milling

Ғылым және технология

We're turning a chunk of solid 4140 steel into a big nut for the EX1200 bucket cylinder rod. We are making the new nut to replace the one that was seized and gouged off the cylinder rod! In this video we show the step by step process of making the new cylinder nut. We are starting with a solid piece of 4140 steel bar. First we drill and bore out the centre of the material in the lathe. Then we cut the internal threads before finish turning the outer diameter. Next we use the super indexer in the milling machine for face cutting the nut into a hexagon before drilling and tapping a hole for the grub screw. We finish the job by machining the new threads onto the EX1200 cylinder rod to suit the big nut.
In this video we are using:
- Hafco TM-26120G Centre Lathe
- Hafco BM-63VE Milling machine
Missed the first video where we gouge the seized nut off to save the $20K cylinder rod?

    FOr those who don't know: if you are wanting a precise hole position, or if you're drilling a deep hole with a spade drill, it's crucial to provide a close-fitting starting bore deep enough for the guide surfaces at the OD of the insert to be fully supported before the central chisel edge touches the work. For deep drilling, high pressure coolant is advisable, otherwise a drastic reduction in feed rate will be necessary, with multiple withdrawals to clear chips.

    It's good marketing, and potentially useful for record-tracking when so much work is "one off". But with most of the work then going out to be slathered in yellow (occasionally orange) paint ... anything much more delicate than writing "CEE" and a reference number (YYYY/MM/Invoice# or similar) with the welder is unlikely to be visible through 3 coats of yellow and 2 inches (bananas) of mud ...

    Great camera and editing to accompany equally great machining. You should suggest the customer use some anti-size paste on the threads to try and avoid another frozen joint. I started machining, if you could call it that, when my step father bought a primitive lathe, belt driven, without any scales on the cross side, some 65 years ago. It was needed for a home built amusement size railroad that wore out bronze bearings every season. Great fun for a teen age kid.

I got tired and wanted to see the U.S.A. , so I drove truck here outta S Tx. for 28 yrs. He passed 32 yrs. Ago, now I’m retired and working on old Lathe , maybe I can pick up where I left off. Nice camera work; steady, sharp & clear and get right in there and show us how it’s done 👍.

For OEM, you start with the ordering process, you have a person go onto a system to order a part, that order is then passed onto a picker to then pull off the shelf, package it up and then send to the distributor for your location. They then have a person enter it into their system then contact the customer saying they have the part and they are sending it to them.. Its an absolute cluster fuck.

    Time is money. Leave an EX1200 stopped for a few days, and you might also need to stop a few trucks, all in all, you can lose upwards of 50K pretty quickly, just at the mining site. So paying the OEM rates becomes a smaller loss. When the mining companies have access to enough spares, it's a different story, then machinists have the time to replicate a part and avoid the convenience fee. Most OEM's don't see machining specialists as competition as strange as it might seem, often times they have to work hand-in-hand as the OEM 's will hire machinists to refurbish older units taken in trade.

    Suggestion: instead of air disconnects, use hydraulic quick disconnects; such as you’d find on a tractor. The ISO 5675 ones aren’t too expensive and can be connected to the same coiled air line that you are using; however I would suggest getting the poppet-style ones as they flow better at lower pressures.
