3.1. Function description
This function description gives an overall description of the Steelwrist tiltrotators structure and principle of its
operation.
The tiltrotator is an hydraulic work tool aimed to be mounted an excavator or backhoe loader. The tiltrotator is used
to position various work tools by combining a tilting and rotating movement.
Tilting movement:
Rotation movement:
The connection to the excavator can be either direct mounted or following a standard that fits the excavators quick
coupler. In general, the smaller the excavator the more frequent direct fit tiltrotators.
On the international market, there are several different quick coupler standards which can be divided into dedicated
mounting standards (quick coupler that fit on one bucket type that must comply with the standard), and universal
standards (quick coupler that fit with different types of buckets, mainly various original buckets from different
manufacturers of excavators ). Various attachment standards have different performance in terms of height, weight,
width and surface structures for assimilating digging forces. Very high, heavy or large attachments, such as, for
example Pin Grabbers (UK) and Verachtert (Holland), mean that these, from a performance perspective, do not
lend themselves in a favorable way to be combined with a quick coupler such as the mounting on top of the tiltrotator.
These tiltrotators should therefore be made direct fit.
The tiltrotator consists of a number of parts as follows:
