What is breakout force?

Answer 1

Breakout force describes the maximum force that the arm can apply on a load. It's measured by how hard the end of the bucket can push, but all of the hydraulic rams on the arm contribute to the total force. Backhoes also have stick liftand boom lift ratings, which tell you the maximum weight the stick and the boom can lift individually when the hydraulic rams are pushing with full force. This is another measure of a backhoe's general capacity, and is especially useful for contractors who plan to use the backhoe as a sort of crane for lifting heavy loads. The backhoe in the pictures above has a 14,712-lb (65.4-kN) breakout force, a 6,250-lb (2,830-kg) stick lift capacity and a 3,940-lb (1,787-kg) boom lift capacity. - You can checkout more at - http://www.tutorearth.com/2012/07/31/breakout-force/

Answer 2

Breakout force is the maximum force that a machine can exert to push, lift, or break through material. It is an important measure for machines like excavators and loaders to assess their capability in handling heavy loads or breaking through tough materials.
