Our Cylinder Repair Process
Each service begins with a full inspection to assess visible wear, pressure inconsistencies, or rod misalignment. Cylinders are carefully removed (if necessary), cleaned, and inspected for pitting, cracking, or uneven movement. We then replace worn seals, polish or replace rods, and check bore and gland clearances. This process ensures the cylinder maintains structural integrity under normal system load and pressure conditions.
Our repairs are tailored to suit equipment type and industry application, and we adjust service methods for agricultural, construction, and transport gear accordingly. When on-site service isn’t feasible, we coordinate efficient off-site rebuilds with minimal turnaround.
We can also assess recurring faults for underlying causes like system contamination or poor alignment.
- Suits all cylinder types
- Repairs tailored to equipment
- Detailed post-repair testing
Each job is approached with industry-specific understanding and completed to match mechanical specifications and safe operational standards.
What are the signs of a faulty hydraulic cylinder?
Symptoms of a failing hydraulic cylinder include reduced lifting capacity, fluid leaks, jerky movement, or sagging when under load. You might also notice oil around seals, weakened pressure, or slow actuation. These can be caused by worn seals, rod scoring, internal bypassing, or bent components. Inspection is necessary to determine whether repair or replacement is required.
How often should hydraulic cylinders be serviced?
Hydraulic cylinders should be inspected regularly and serviced at the first sign of wear or leakage. The frequency of servicing depends on usage, operating environment, and the type of system. Heavy-use cylinders in harsh environments should be checked every few months, while lower-duty systems may only need annual inspections. Preventative maintenance helps catch seal wear and contamination early.
Can all hydraulic cylinders be repaired on-site?
Many cylinder repairs can be carried out on-site, especially when dealing with external seals, fittings, or minor rod wear. However, repairs requiring machine lathes, honing, or part fabrication may need off-site service. Mobile repair units typically handle seal replacement, minor straightening, and testing, while more complex machining requires workshop facilities.
