Bucket wear parts
none of them holds it, all of them wear out in its place.
Technical line drawing — synthetic image.
Teeth, tooth holders, blades, side protectors.
They sacrifice themselves so that the bucket lasts:
that is their job, and that is why they are changed.
Other names for this part: bucket tooth, tooth holder, wear blade, wear strip, side protector, counter-blade, tooth adapter.

What it is for
Right: with the teeth worn down to the tooth holders and the blade worn through, the bucket is eaten into.
What sets them apart:
none of them holds the bucket — all of them wear out in its place, and are changed without it.

they wear out in place of the bucket, and that is why they are changed.

it is the hole that goes through the tooth that gives the direction.

A tooth attacks, a holder holds it, a blade protects the lip, a side protector guards the sides.
All of them are replaced without touching the body of the bucket, and that is the whole point.
The fixing system counts as much as the tooth:
clip, pin, or locking type.
A system that comes apart on site saves more time than a tooth that lasts 10% longer.
A tooth left to wear down to the holder costs three times its price: it is no longer the tooth that is replaced, it is the adapter, and that has to be welded.
The rule is to change before the sacrificial part disappears.
On which machine?
On a machine from 1,6 to 10 t: parts from 1 to 12 kg.
They fit on the bucket, replacing the original parts.
What the tool does
The counter-blades have a hardness of 250 or 400 HB.
Depending on the model, they are made of wear-resistant steel.
Some have bolt-on teeth, replaceable without welding, or reversible blades and cutting edges, to be checked with you.
What is needed on the hydraulic side
They need no hydraulic connection.

What determines the choice
-
01 — The tooth fixing system
It belongs to the holder already fitted.
Record the system before comparing teeth with one another. -
02 — The profile of the tooth
Standard, penetration, rock, long:
the profile is chosen on the ground, as for a striking tool. -
03 — The material
Manganese steel, alloys, carbide hardfacing:
harder means longer in abrasive ground, more brittle under impact. -
04 — Availability
A tooth is a consumable.
A model you cannot get within 48 hours is a bad model, even if it lasts longer.
What is checked before ordering
- Record the fixing system and the mark stamped on the tooth holder — that is what governs, not the size of the bucket.
- Count the positions:
corner teeth and centre teeth are not always identical. - Look at the condition of the tooth holders before ordering teeth.
A worn holder no longer holds a new tooth. - Check the side blades:
they wear more slowly but replacing them calls for a welding set.
