Slider for Demag AC80-1

The slider, identified by part number 587 285 40, serves as a guide within the telescopic boom assembly of the Demag AC80-1 crane. It is positioned between the sliding metal sections of the boom to manage the contact surfaces during operation. By maintaining proper alignment and spacing, this component supports the movement of the boom sections as they extend or retract under load.

This part is specifically engineered for the Demag AC80-1 model. It is manufactured by Demag to meet the mechanical tolerances required for the boom structure of this all-terrain crane. Regular inspection and maintenance of these sliders are necessary to ensure the boom sections operate without binding or excessive friction.

In telescopic boom systems, sliders function as wear elements that prevent direct metal-to-metal contact between the inner and outer boom segments. They are designed to withstand the pressure and sliding forces generated during the operation of the hydraulic boom cylinders. Proper slider function helps maintain smooth movement and prevents structural damage to the boom sections during heavy lifting tasks.
