FAQ’s
-
We work with all types of hydraulic cylinders, including single-acting, double-acting, telescopic, and custom-built cylinders. Whether it’s for industrial, marine, mining, civil, or agricultural equipment, we can handle everything from small rams to large heavy-duty cylinders.
-
Common warning signs include:
External leaks around the seals or rod
Uneven or jerky movement
Loss of power or lifting capacity
Damaged rods, bent barrels, or excessive corrosion
Internal bypassing, where the cylinder drifts under load
If you notice these, the cylinder should be inspected and serviced immediately to prevent further damage.
-
Yes! In most cases, cylinders can be fully rebuilt. This includes re-chroming or replacing rods, honing barrels, replacing seals, and repairing or upgrading components. A rebuild is often more cost-effective and quicker than sourcing a brand-new cylinder.
-
Regular maintenance is key. This includes keeping rods clean, checking for leaks, inspecting seals, and ensuring your hydraulic fluid is clean and at the correct level. Proper maintenance helps prevent failures and extend service life.
-
Absolutely. We can design, build, or modify cylinders to suit unique applications. Whether you need a special size, stroke, or mounting style, we can provide a tailored solution to fit your equipment perfectly.
