Publication number: 20210277631Abstract: The invention relates to a wear or protection system for a tool of an earth moving machine, comprising a wear element (1), a support (3) and a pin (7) with elastic means (13) housed in a housing (5) having a base surface (27) and a compression surface (29). The base surface (27) and a first portion (31) of the compression surface (29) belong to the wear element (1), and the distance between both has a fixed value Df. A second portion (33) of the compression surface (29) belongs to the support (3), and the distance between the base surface (27) and the second portion (33) is variable depending on the wear of the system, having a minimum value Dmin when the system is new and increasing as wear increases. Dmin is less than Df. The pin (7), in the compressed state, has a height H equal to Dmin, and as the system becomes worn, H increases until reaching the value Df.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2018Publication date: September 9, 2021Inventors: JORDI MARQUEZ LLINAS, EDUARD ALVAREZ PORTELLA, JORGE TRIGINER BOIXEDA, JOAN TUTO FAJA
