When air is mixed with the hydraulic oil in your cylinders it can create the conditions for an extreme phenomenon known as “hydraulic dieseling”. This happens when bubbles of air mixed with oil undergo extreme pressurisation, causing them to explode in much the same way that diesel fuel ignites within an engine cylinder. Does that […]

When a hydraulic cylinder starts leaking you may ask yourself if it’s necessary to perform a full repair, or if you could simply replace hydraulic cylinder seals on your own. It’s true that many farms and factories replace their own seals to save time and cut down on costs. This is understandable in today’s competitive […]

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 […]
