Excavator Arm Boom Bucket Seal Kit
For maintenance teams and fleet managers responsible for sustaining
the operational efficiency of EXCAVATOR loaders in open-pit mines (digging hard rock), river dredging sites
(handling silt-laden water), and construction quarries (crushing
limestone)—where Arm Boom Bucket Hydraulic Cylinder systems face
three distinct challenges: abrasive rock fragments (2–15 mm)
eroding seal surfaces (unlike the 6H1309/8D2714’s oil oxidation
focus), moisture-induced microbial corrosion (growing in boom
cylinder crevices exposed to river water), and extreme pressure
fatigue (20,000–35,000 psi spikes in bucket cylinders during rock
crushing)—the reliability of the hydraulic seal system is
non-negotiable. Unlike the 6H1309/8D2714 series optimized for
lift/tilt/steering oil resistance and low friction, the Hydraulic Cylinder Excavator Arm Boom Bucket Seal Kit (part numbers 7079873400, 7079871020, 707-98-73400, 707-98-71020) is engineered to tackle these arm/boom/bucket-specific stressors.
Every day, these systems operate in harsh, debris-rich
environments: they withstand prolonged exposure to sharp rock
fragments (e.g., granite chips scraping arm cylinder seals), endure
200+ daily cycles of boom lifting (trapping moisture that breeds
corrosion), and handle variable bucket loads (10–40 tons shifting
pressure during ore loading) while digging 5–12 cubic meters of
rock (arm cylinders), lifting 25–50 ton debris piles (boom
cylinders), and crushing 3–8 ton boulders (bucket cylinders). If
seals fail, the EXCAVATOR loader loses digging power (e.g., eroded
arm seals causing pressure drops), boom lifting capacity (e.g.,
corroded boom seals leaking fluid), or bucket crushing efficiency
(e.g., pressure-fatigued bucket seals bursting)—resulting in
operational delays, $8,000–$15,000 in daily lost revenue, and
permanent cylinder bore damage from rock debris or microbial slime.
To avoid such problems, the 7079873400 and 7079871020 seal kits are the vital solution: they form an abrasion-resistant,
corrosion-proof, and pressure-stable seal that repels rock
fragments, blocks microbial growth, and handles extreme pressure
spikes—ensuring steady performance in mining, dredging, and
quarrying where the 6H1309/8D2714 series would be underengineered
and prone to premature failure.
Accurate part numbers are essential to ensure compatibility with
the Arm Boom Bucket cylinders of EXCAVATOR loaders, as these
systems require specialized abrasion/corrosion-resistant material
properties (vs. the 6H1309/8D2714’s NBR Black oil resistance) and
heavy-duty seal profiles (thicker than the 6H1309’s low-friction
O-rings). The 7079873400 (written with a hyphen as 707-98-73400) and 7079871020 (written with a hyphen as 707-98-71020) serve as dependable references for technicians and procurement
staff, confirming the seal kit meets precise specifications: seal
thickness (8–12 mm for impact absorption, vs. 3–5 mm for 6H1309’s
O-rings), abrasion resistance rating (able to withstand 50,000+
cycles of 10 mm rock fragment contact, vs. 10,000 cycles for
8D2714’s steering seals), and pressure tolerance (up to 40,000 psi
for bucket cylinders, vs. 5,000 psi for 6H1309’s lift systems).
Notably, 707-98-73400 and 707-98-71020 are integrated into global mining/quarry equipment databases
(e.g., Komatsu Mining Parts Portal, Caterpillar Quarry Equipment
Inventory System), preventing ordering errors that are common with
generic part numbers. If an incorrect seal kit (e.g., 6H1309,
designed for lift oil resistance) is installed on a mine
excavator’s arm cylinder, it will erode completely in 300
hours—slowing digging speed by 60% and requiring $20,000 in
cylinder rod replacement. For instance, a quarry in Colorado (using
a Volvo EC950E excavator for limestone crushing) found that
installing 8D2714 seals (instead of 7079871020) on the bucket cylinder led to pressure failure—seals burst after
500 cycles of 30,000 psi crushing, causing hydraulic fluid
contamination and 48 hours of unplanned downtime.
