Hydraulic assembly and logging equipment using same

摘要

A hydraulic assembly including a pivot connection (120, 124) defining a pivot axis (122, 126), a hydraulic element linked to the pivot connection, and a connector (148, 168) for connecting a hydraulic conduit (136, 137) to the hydraulic element. The connector defines a connection axis (170, 171) and the connector is configured such that the connection axis approximately intersects the pivot axis. The hydraulic assembly may be used in various applications, including in forestry equipment, for example, with a rotator (118) link (116) assembly.
