What Causes a Hydraulic Excavator to Lose Power When Stalled?

The reasons for a hydraulic excavator losing power when stalled are as follows: Reason 1: The engine has sufficient power, but a stalling phenomenon occurs. The hydraulic pump itself also has a certain power output. If the hydraulic pump's power exceeds the engine's power, a stalling (power loss) phenomenon will occur. This requires testing and adjusting the hydraulic pump on a test bench to reduce the hydraulic pump's power to 95% of the engine's power. Reason 2: The machine drifts to one side while moving, and one control handle's operation is unsatisfactory. Hydraulic pumps are divided into front/rear pumps or left/right pumps. Drifting during movement indicates a fault in one of the pumps. The simplest diagnostic method is to disconnect and swap the two high-pressure hydraulic hoses of the pump. If the previously slow movement becomes faster and the fast movement becomes slower, this confirms a fault in one pump. For such issues, simply remove the hydraulic pump, repair or replace the faulty pump's internal components, and then test and adjust it on the bench. This will also resolve the unsatisfactory performance of the control handle.

What Insurance is Needed for Full Payment Car Purchase?

For a full payment car purchase, it is mandatory to buy compulsory traffic insurance, vehicle damage insurance, and third-party liability insurance. Additionally, insurances like spontaneous combustion insurance, vehicle theft insurance, and water damage insurance can be purchased based on personal needs. Below are the considerations for purchasing car insurance: 1. Purchase Channels: Pay attention to choosing the right purchase channels. Select insurance companies with legal qualifications and agents who have professional qualification certificates, practice licenses, and formal agency contracts with insurance companies. 2. Consider Personal Needs: Pay attention to selecting insurance products that suit your actual needs and fully understand the terms and conditions of motor vehicle insurance. 3. Important Documents Usage: Pay attention to the use and safekeeping of important insurance documents, fulfill the obligation of truthful disclosure, pay insurance premiums on time, and agree with the insurance company on the method for resolving contract disputes.

Can fully synthetic engine oil be used for one year?

Fully synthetic engine oil can be used for one year. Currently, common fully synthetic oils on the market are made from Group III base oils through hydrogenation. Fully synthetic oils offer stronger stability, better oxidation resistance, and corrosion resistance, naturally resulting in a longer service life. Generally, it is recommended to change the oil every year or after driving approximately 10,000 kilometers. Below are specific methods for choosing engine oil for your car: 1. Performance selection: If you prioritize long-lasting oil performance, you can choose Mobil oil; if you focus on engine cleanliness, Shell lubricants are a good option; for stronger oil film toughness, Castrol is recommended. 2. Driving conditions: For frequent driving in congested areas, older vehicles, or long-distance heavy-load transportation, the viscosity of the lubricant can be appropriately increased. 3. Engine type: For naturally aspirated engines, mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil can be used. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more compact structure and operate under harsher conditions, requiring higher-quality lubricants with better fluidity, preferably fully synthetic oil.

What are the differences between SAIC Volkswagen and FAW Volkswagen?

Here are the differences between SAIC Volkswagen and FAW Volkswagen: 1. Product positioning: SAIC Volkswagen tends to design its models to better suit the preferences of Chinese consumers, making its cars relatively more popular among Chinese people. In contrast, FAW Volkswagen's models still retain a strong German flavor. 2. Product positioning: SAIC Volkswagen primarily focuses on mid-to-high-end vehicles, while FAW Volkswagen mainly targets the mid-to-low-end market. 3. Different levels of influence in the domestic market: SAIC Volkswagen was established in 1984, earlier than FAW Volkswagen's founding in 1991, meaning SAIC Volkswagen entered the domestic market earlier. As a result, SAIC Volkswagen has left a deeper impression on Chinese consumers and has a better understanding of their needs compared to FAW Volkswagen, giving it a higher level of influence in the domestic market than FAW Volkswagen.

How to Distinguish Between High-Speed and Low-Speed Bearings?

Here are the differences between high-speed bearings and low-speed bearings: 1. Smoothness: From appearance, high-speed bearings have a smoother surface without the roughness or pits seen on low-speed bearings. The distance between the outer and inner rings is very small, and the bearing precision is higher. In contrast, low-speed bearings have a rougher surface and lower precision. 2. Roughness: High-speed bearings have higher precision and smaller surface roughness compared to low-speed bearings. The obvious difference is that high-speed bearings have a smoother surface, and the gap between the outer and inner rings is smaller, while low-speed bearings are the opposite. 3. Precision: Compared to low-speed bearings, high-speed bearings have higher precision in their steel balls or rollers, as well as in their raceways. High-speed bearings are of higher grade and made of better materials, such as steel with superior metallographic structure and hardness. General rolling bearings are suitable for low to medium-speed rotation. If high-speed rotation is required, special requirements must be met, and the appropriate model should be selected based on factors like load. Bearings with speeds between 5 to 60 meters per second are not considered high-speed bearings, as most standard bearings with proper lubrication can meet these needs. For applications requiring even higher speeds, such as in high-speed cutting machines or precision machining equipment, special bearings like ceramic bearings, electric bearings, or magnetic bearings may be used. In such cases, consulting with specialized manufacturers is recommended.

What Exactly Constitutes a Stock Vehicle?

About the definition of a stock vehicle: it refers to a vehicle that has been in storage for more than three months or half a year since its production. Below are the drawbacks of stock vehicles: 1. Component Aging: After leaving the factory, various fluids, electronic components, batteries, rubber seals, and tires in a new car can easily suffer from moisture damage and aging if left idle for extended periods without periodic inspection and maintenance. 2. High Maintenance Costs: Only a very few dealerships implement periodic inspection and maintenance measures. While the actual cost is not high, it consumes manpower and time. Some 4S stores even park their stock vehicles in open-air garages, exposing them directly to sun, wind, and rain. 3. Frequent Quality Issues: For vehicles stored for too long, without proper warehouse management, the aging of electronic components and rubber products is often undetectable without professional testing equipment. Many long-stored vehicles also face issues like oil or battery depletion.
