Whether you operate fixed plant or mobile hydraulics, you know that you need to maintain a schedule of regular preventative maintenance in order to keep your equipment performing properly. However, are you truly aware of all the risks associated with hydraulic cylinder failure? The consequences of poorly maintained hydraulic equipment go beyond the cylinder itself. […]

Hard chrome electroplating is a critical part of hydraulic cylinder repair. Cylinder rods that have been in use for a substantial length of time will invariably exhibit some degree of wear on the hard chrome surface, which means replating the chrome is best practice when it comes to returning your cylinders to peak operating effectiveness. However, […]

It’s uncomfortable to think about, but the thin, shiny surface layer of your hydraulic cylinder rod is all that stands between you and failure. This very hard, perfectly finished surface must conform to very precise specifications to preserve the integrity of the hydraulic seal and give it a frictionless surface upon which it can run […]

All cylinders inevitably lose performance and sometimes even fail completely. However, with the right maintenance and attention to the important things, it’s possible to keep your cylinders running strongly and costing less in the long run. Yet, the subject of hydraulic cylinder repair is hugely complex – involving physics, forces, fluids, heat, abrasion and environmental factors. That’s […]

Returning a hydraulic cylinder to peak operating performance is a methodical process that requires both knowledge, experience and sophisticated equipment. Correct processes must be followed from start to finish and care and attention must be paid at each stage to ensure quality standards. Every cylinder leaves evidence that offers clues as to the reason for […]

Hydraulic seals are the most vulnerable part of any hydraulic cylinder. These relatively fragile components must stand up to extreme pressures, compressive forces, extrusion factors, low or high temperatures and exposure to harsh chemicals and hydraulic fluids. There are a myriad of Hydraulic Cylinder Seal Materials available, with differing characteristics and properties – from low […]

There are a few different types of seals within your hydraulic cylinder and they each have their own, specific, job requirements. Some must cope with extreme pressure, while others are simply there to keep dirt out of the system. Each of these seals needs to be specially selected according to their role – to ensure […]

Horizontal rotation hard chrome plating is a method of resurfacing extremely long hydraulic cylinder piston rods to overcome the challenges associated with these oversize components. Berendsen has pioneered this technique in Australia by investing in a purpose-built, 360-degree horizontal-rotation chrome plating tank, which is capable of handling rods up to 12 metres. In this […]
