Arm type car slider

The arm slider is an important part of the arm vehicle, which has the following characteristics and functions:

First, structure and material

Structure design:

Arm car sliders are usually block or plate shaped, with a specific shape and size to suit the structural and movement needs of arm cars.

Its design generally considers the connection with the arm vehicle, sliding trajectory and bearing capacity and other factors. Some sliders may be designed with mounting holes, slots, or other connection structures to facilitate installation and fixation on the arm vehicle.

In order to ensure the stability and reliability of the slider during movement, its surface is usually subjected to special treatment, such as grinding, polishing or coating treatment, to reduce friction and wear.

Material selection:

High strength metal materials, such as alloy steel, cast iron, etc., are common arm type car slide materials. These metal materials have high strength and hardness, and can withstand the huge pressure and friction generated by the arm car during the working process.

Engineering plastics are also a commonly used slider material, with the advantages of light weight, corrosion resistance, self-lubrication and so on. For some occasions with high weight requirements or need to reduce friction, engineering plastic sliders are a good choice.

Composite materials combine the advantages of a variety of materials, such as high strength, lightweight, corrosion resistance, etc., and are also used in some high-end arm vehicles. Composite sliders can be customized to meet different performance requirements.

Second, function and effect

Reduce friction:

During the movement of the arm car, there will be relative motion between the various components, resulting in friction. One of the main roles of the slider is to reduce these frictions, making the movement of the arm car smoother and more efficient.

The slider is usually in contact with the guide rail or other moving parts of the arm vehicle, and through its smooth surface and special lubrication structure, the friction coefficient is reduced, the energy loss is reduced, and the working efficiency of the arm vehicle is improved.

Carrying weight:

The arm car needs to carry a certain weight when working, including its own weight, the weight of the load and the dynamic load generated during the working process. As an important support component of the arm vehicle, the slider needs to be able to withstand these weights and distribute them evenly on the guide rail or other support structures.

The bearing capacity of the slider depends on factors such as its material, structural design and installation method. When selecting the slider, it is necessary to select the slider with appropriate bearing capacity according to the actual working needs of the arm vehicle. 

Guiding effect:

The arm car needs to maintain a certain direction and trajectory during the movement to ensure the accuracy and safety of the work. The slider is usually used in conjunction with the guide rail or other guiding structure to play a guiding role, so that the arm vehicle can move in a predetermined direction and trajectory.

The guiding accuracy of the slide depends on its matching accuracy with the guide rail and its own manufacturing accuracy. When installing and using the slider, it is necessary to ensure that it is well matched with the guide rail to improve the guiding accuracy and stability of the arm vehicle.

3. Application fields

Aerial work platform:

In the aerial work platform, the arm slider is widely used in the extension and contraction mechanism of the arm frame. It can reduce the friction of the boom in the process of movement, improve work efficiency, but also can withstand the weight of the boom and working platform, to ensure the safety of high-altitude work.

Different types of aerial work platforms will have different requirements for the slider, for example, a small aerial work platform may need a slider with small carrying capacity and light weight, while a large aerial work platform needs a slider with high carrying capacity and good stability.

Crane:

The arm slider is also used in the boom and hook mechanism of the crane. The slider can reduce the friction of the boom during lifting and rotating, and improve the working efficiency and safety of the crane.

Cranes have high requirements for the bearing capacity and wear resistance of the slider, and it is usually necessary to use high-strength metal materials or composite materials to manufacture the slider to ensure that it can run stable for a long time in the case of heavy loads and frequent use.

Other areas:

The arm type car slider can also be applied to other mechanical equipment that requires linear or rotating motion, such as conveying equipment and automated production lines. In these areas, the slider can also play a role in reducing friction, carrying weight and guiding, improving the efficiency and stability of the equipment.
