Zoomlion Concrete Pump Transfer Case Piston Assembly Limit Piston (Spoo)//Copper

The limit piston assembly in the power take-off (PTO) differential box of a concrete pump truck serves an important function in controlling the movement and positioning of the PTO system.

The primary role of the limit piston assembly is to provide a mechanical limit to the range of motion of the PTO system. It consists of a piston that is typically actuated by hydraulic pressure or mechanical linkage.

The limit piston assembly helps prevent excessive movement or overextension of the PTO components. It sets the maximum and minimum limits for the rotational or linear displacement of the PTO system, ensuring safe and efficient operation.

By acting as a mechanical stop, the limit piston assembly protects the PTO system from potential damage or failure due to excessive forces or misalignment. It prevents components from reaching their mechanical limits, which could lead to stress, wear, or even structural failure.

Moreover, the limit piston assembly assists in maintaining proper engagement and disengagement of the PTO system. It ensures that the PTO components are correctly aligned and positioned for efficient power transfer or disconnection.

Additionally, the limit piston assembly contributes to the overall safety of the concrete pump truck. By controlling the range of motion of the PTO system, it helps prevent accidents or incidents that could occur if the PTO components were to move beyond their intended limits.
