Ripper Tooth protector
The ripper guard is a protective device installed on the ripper, primarily designed to reduce wear, disperse impact force, and extend service life.
Function and Structure
The guard is typically located at the tip of the ripper teeth. By covering the tips or employing a spiral structure, it protects internal components from wear and dissipates soil impact force, reducing wear and tear during operation. Some designs also incorporate a crushing blade structure to further mitigate damage to the guard from direct soil impact.
Applications
It is primarily used in high-wear environments such as earthmoving and mining, and is commonly found on the ripper devices of construction machinery such as excavators and bulldozers.
Material and Type
Common materials include engineering plastics such as nylon and polypropylene, as well as some metals. When selecting a guard, adjust the type of guard based on blade thickness and operating conditions (e.g., rock and soil). Options include standard or rock-reinforced.
