Seal kit for American Crane 8460

The seal kit with part number 36.700.00159 consists of a comprehensive set of gaskets, oil seals, and packings intended for the maintenance and repair of a hydraulic pump. Its primary function is to restore the sealing capacity of the unit, effectively preventing both internal and external fluid leakage. By re-establishing a tight seal, the kit helps maintain the necessary pressure and volumetric efficiency required for the hydraulic system to function correctly.

This component is specifically configured for the Vickers TA45 hydraulic pump, which serves as a primary power source for the American Crane 8460 crane. The kit includes precision-engineered components designed to fit the internal housings of the pump. Proper installation of these seals is necessary to prevent pressure loss, fluid overheating, and the subsequent reduction in force or speed during crane operations such as lifting and slewing.

In any hydraulic pump, seal kits are used to replace worn components that have lost their ability to contain fluid under operating pressure. By replacing these elements, maintenance technicians can address leaks that would otherwise lead to decreased hydraulic performance and potential damage to the pump assembly.
