They are crucial in long-distance pipe jacking operations. Their main function is to relay the pushing force from the main jacking cylinder, overcoming soil friction resistance and extending the single jacking distance. The relay cylinders enhance the efficiency of thrust transfer, ensuring that the pipeline maintains a stable pushing force during continuous jacking, thereby accelerating construction progress and reducing downtime. Additionally, they feature excellent sealing and pressure resistance, allowing them to work stably under high pressure, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the pipe jacking operation.
