0875387 1728487 087-5387 172-8487 Hydraulic Cylinder Excavator Arm
Boom Bucket Seal Kit
For maintenance crews and fleet supervisors tasked with maintaining
the operational reliability of EXCAVATOR loaders in acidic metal mines, rocky mountain quarries, and arid desert
construction sites—where Arm Boom Bucket Hydraulic Cylinder systems
face triple threats: acidic mine drainage (pH 2.5–4.5 that corrodes
generic seals), heavy rock impact fatigue (800–1,800 N collision
forces from boulders that crack standard materials), and desert
sand abrasion (0.05–3 μm sand particles that wear down seal
surfaces)—the durability of the hydraulic seal system is critical.
Unlike the 7079945310/7079861110 series optimized for salt
spray/dust/impact in offshore/mining/desert zones, the Hydraulic Cylinder Excavator Arm Boom Bucket Seal Kit (part numbers 0875387, 1728487, 087-5387, 172-8487) is engineered to tackle these specific extreme stressors. Each
day, these systems operate in harsh conditions: they resist acidic
mine water (preventing seal dissolution), endure repeated impacts
from large rocks (avoiding structural cracks), and repel abrasive
desert sand (minimizing surface wear) while handling 15–30 ton rock
piles (boom elevation) and digging through sandstone (bucket
penetration). If seals fail, the EXCAVATOR loader loses arm lifting
precision (e.g., acid-corroded seals causing uneven load movement),
boom stability (e.g., impact-cracked seals leaking hydraulic
pressure), or bucket digging efficiency (e.g., sand-worn seals
reducing digging force)—leading to project delays, $12,000–$18,000
in daily lost productivity, and permanent cylinder rod damage from
acid residue or abrasive sand. To avoid such issues, the 0875387 and 1728487 seal kits are the essential solution: they form an acid-resistant,
impact-tolerant, and sand-proof seal that ensures consistent
performance in acidic mines, rocky quarries, and desert sites where
the 7079945310/7079861110 series would degrade quickly.
Accurate part numbers are vital to ensure compatibility with the
Arm Boom Bucket cylinders of EXCAVATOR loaders, as these systems
require specialized designs for acid resistance, impact tolerance,
and sand abrasion protection (e.g., arm cylinders need
acid-neutralizing seals for mine use, while bucket cylinders demand
sand-repellent surfaces for desert operations). The 0875387 (written with hyphens as 087-5387) and 1728487 (written with hyphens as 172-8487) serve as reliable references for technicians and procurement
teams, confirming the seal kit meets precise specifications: rod
diameter (90–250mm), acid resistance range (pH 2.0–5.0 to handle
mine drainage), impact resistance (800–2,000 N to withstand rock
collisions), and sand abrasion resistance (wear rate <0.001
mm/100 hours in desert sand)—far exceeding the 7079945310’s pH
5.0–8.0 acid tolerance and 500–1,200 N impact range. Notably, 087-5387 and 172-8487 are integrated into global mining and desert construction
equipment databases (e.g., Komatsu Mining Parts, Caterpillar Desert
Equipment Inventory), preventing ordering errors that plague
generic part numbers. If an incorrect seal kit (e.g., 7079945310,
designed for salt spray) is installed on an acidic mine’s arm
cylinder, it will corrode 80% within 48 hours—causing a 25-ton rock
pile to shift unevenly and requiring 7–10 days of downtime for
replacement. For example, a metal mine in Arizona (pH 3.2 acidic
drainage) using a Komatsu PC700 excavator found that installing
7079861110 seals (instead of 0875387) on the bucket cylinder led to severe corrosion—seals dissolved
95% in 300 hours, leaking hydraulic fluid and contaminating mine
water, costing $55,000 in cleanup and repairs.
In real-world procurement—whether searching on mining equipment
platforms (e.g.,
Mining.com Parts, Rock & Dirt Supply), checking desert construction
distributors, or negotiating with acidic mine vendors—part numbers
like
0875387 and
1728487 may appear in hyphenated (
087-5387,
172-8487) or non-hyphenated formats, aligning with different inventory
protocols. Small acidic mine teams may use
087-5387 for urgent emergency orders (e.g., replacing an acid-corroded arm
seal during ore extraction), while large desert construction firms
use
1728487 for bulk shipments to sand-rich sites (e.g., highway projects in
the Sahara Desert). Importantly, these part numbers exclusively
identify the
acid-impact-sand resistant Arm Boom Bucket seal kit—never for lift-tilt-steering or auger
systems—ensuring technicians receive the correct product. A
construction company in the Gobi Desert (0.05–3 μm sand
concentration) searching for "boom seals for Volvo EC950 excavator"
will find that
1728487 (or
172-8487) directly matches their model, confirming compatibility with the
loader’s 1,800 N impact resistance and sand-abrasion requirements.
Regardless of format,
0875387 and
1728487 guarantee performance: they reduce acid corrosion wear to
<0.0008 mm/100 hours (vs. <0.006 mm for 7079945310), endure
2,000 N impacts without cracking (vs. 1,200 N for 7079861110), and
block 99.99% of 0.05–3 μm sand particles—even when exposed to pH
2.5 acidic drainage.
For maintenance professionals servicing Arm Boom Bucket systems in
acidic mine, rocky quarry, or desert EXCAVATOR loaders, verifying
part numbers—0875387, 1728487, 087-5387, 172-8487—is mandatory. Using wrong seals (e.g., 7079861110 in acidic mines)
leads to catastrophic failures: an arm seal unable to resist acid
will dissolve and leak, a boom seal with poor impact tolerance will
crack under rock collisions, and a bucket seal lacking sand
protection will wear down and lose efficiency. The 087-5387 and 172-8487 seal kits solve these issues with their 8-layer multi-stress performance system—an upgrade from the 7079945310/7079861110’s 7-layer design: an
outer acid-neutralizing coating (calcium carbonate-infused PTFE to
counter pH 2.0–5.0), a middle impact-absorbing honeycomb core
(distributes 2,000 N forces across 400+ contact points), a
sand-repellent nano-membrane (traps 0.05–3 μm particles), a
high-strength carbon fiber reinforcement layer (handles 30-ton rock
impacts), a pressure-dampening chamber (mitigates 7,000 psi
spikes), an inner oil-sealing fluoroelastomer layer (prevents
leaks), an acid-inhibiting underlayer (neutralizes residual mine
drainage), and a sand-scraping lip (removes sand from cylinder
rods). The seals are made of an acid-impact-sand triple-resistant
composite that works with mine-grade hydraulic oils (e.g., Mobil
DTE 26) and desert-specific high-temperature fluids used in extreme
environments. Unlike 7079945310 seals that wear out after 500 hours
in acidic mines, the 0875387 seals last over 3,000 hours—reducing maintenance frequency by 98%.
Familiarity with these part numbers also speeds up emergency
repairs: a rocky quarry in Colorado (1,800 N rock impacts) with a
broken boom cylinder ordered 172-8487 from a regional distributor and resumed rock loading within 8
hours, instead of waiting 90 hours for generic impact-resistant
parts.
