APOLLO 05-21-40110 Digi-Rotary KIT CAN Swing Arm Sliding Boot and Slide Rod Assembly for Asphalt Paver Spare Parts
The APOLLO 05-21-40110 Digi-Rotary KIT CAN Swing Arm Sliding Boot and Slide Rod Assembly is a specialized, high-performance spare part engineered exclusively for asphalt pavers—a critical piece of equipment in road construction, responsible for evenly laying and compacting asphalt mixtures. This assembly integrates advanced digital-rotary (Digi-Rotary) technology and CAN bus compatibility, while combining the core functions of a swing arm, sliding boot, and slide rod, making it a key component for maintaining the precision, efficiency, and durability of asphalt pavers during operation.
Core Functional Advantages
This assembly stands out for its integration of digital control, reliable mechanical performance, and intelligent communication—addressing key pain points in asphalt paving (e.g., uneven material feeding, component wear, poor operational synchronization).
Digi-Rotary Technology: Precision Control
The built-in "Digi-Rotary" (digital rotary) module replaces traditional mechanical control, enabling:
- Real-time position monitoring: Precisely tracks the swing arm's rotation angle and the slide rod's sliding stroke (error ≤ 0.5°/mm), ensuring uniform distribution of asphalt material across the paver's width.
- Adjustable speed & torque: Operators can fine-tune the swing arm's movement speed and the slide rod's pushing force via the paver's control panel, adapting to different asphalt viscosities (e.g., thicker mixtures require higher torque to avoid material blockage).
CAN Bus Compatibility: Intelligent Synchronization
As a "CAN Swing Arm" assembly, it supports Controller Area Network (CAN) communication—a standard in modern construction machinery—allowing:
- Seamless data exchange with the paver's main control system, engine, and hydraulic components. For example, if the paver's forward speed increases, the assembly automatically adjusts the swing arm's frequency to match material feeding, preventing "under-paving" or "over-paving".
- Remote diagnostics: Fault codes (e.g., slide rod jamming, sensor errors) are transmitted to the paver's display in real time, reducing troubleshooting time by 30% compared to non-CAN parts.
Swing Arm + Sliding Boot + Slide Rod: Durable & Wear-Resistant
The three core mechanical components are optimized for asphalt pavers' harsh working environments (high temperature, dust, continuous friction):
- Swing Arm: Made of high-strength alloy steel (hardness ≥ HRC 45) with a corrosion-resistant coating, resisting deformation from long-term load-bearing.
- Sliding Boot: Crafted from wear-resistant polyurethane (PU) with a low-friction inner lining—reduces friction with the slide rod by 50% and withstands asphalt temperatures up to 180°C (avoids melting or cracking).
- Slide Rod: Precision-machined from stainless steel with a polished surface, minimizing material adhesion (prevents asphalt buildup that causes jamming) and extending service life by 2-3 times vs. standard steel rods.
Application Value for Asphalt Pavers
For road construction projects, this assembly directly impacts the quality of asphalt paving and the paver's operational efficiency:
- Improves paving quality: By ensuring uniform material feeding and precise control, it reduces surface defects (e.g., ruts, uneven thickness) of the asphalt layer, meeting highway/urban road flatness standards (e.g., IRI ≤ 2.0 m/km).
- Reduces downtime: The wear-resistant design and real-time diagnostics lower the frequency of part replacements and repairs. In typical road construction (8-hour shifts), it can reduce unplanned downtime from 1.5 hours/day to 0.5 hours/day.
- Low maintenance cost: The modular design allows individual replacement of components (e.g., only the sliding boot if worn, no need to replace the entire assembly), cutting maintenance costs by 40% annually.
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- Installation: Must be calibrated with the paver's CAN system post-installation (using APOLLO's dedicated calibration tool) to ensure communication accuracy.
- Maintenance: Clean the sliding boot and slide rod daily (remove asphalt residue with a high-temperature-resistant brush); replace the sliding boot every 500-800 working hours (or earlier if cracks/wear > 3mm are found).
In summary, the APOLLO 05-21-40110 Digi-Rotary KIT CAN Assembly is not just a replacement part—it is an intelligent, durable upgrade for asphalt pavers, designed to enhance paving precision, reduce operational costs, and support reliable performance in road construction projects.
