Technical details and manufacturing context for Main Jacking System

Definition
The Main Jacking System is the core propulsion component of a Pipe Jacking Machine, responsible for generating the substantial thrust force required to advance pipe sections through soil or rock formations. It typically consists of hydraulic cylinders, power units, control systems, and reaction structures that work together to apply controlled, high-pressure force against the pipe string, enabling precise underground installation with minimal surface disruption.
Working Principle
The system operates by using hydraulic pressure to extend multiple synchronized jacking cylinders against a reaction wall or thrust block. These cylinders push against the trailing edge of the pipe string, transmitting force through the pipe sections to the cutting head at the front. The system maintains continuous pressure while allowing for retraction and repositioning of cylinders to enable sequential jacking strokes as pipes are added to the string.
Common Materials
High-strength alloy steel, Chromium-plated hydraulic cylinders, Hardened steel mounting plates
