Hydraulic Cylinder Overhaul: Professional Solutions for Reliability and Efficiency
Hydraulic cylinders, one of the most critical components of hydraulic systems, are used extensively in many areas, from industrial machinery to mobile equipment. Over time, performance losses may occur due to wear, sealing issues, or mechanical deformations. At this point, hydraulic cylinder overhaul is the right solution in terms of both cost and operational efficiency.
So, what is hydraulic cylinder overhaul, how is it done, and what advantages does it provide to businesses?
What is Hydraulic Cylinder Overhaul?
Hydraulic cylinder overhaul is the professional maintenance, repair and renewal process of defective, worn or inefficient cylinders to bring them to the closest level to their original performance. Overhaul procedures include:
Cylinder disassembly and detailed inspection
Measurement and damage analysis of piston, piston rod and cylinder body
Refurbishment of sealing elements
Piston rod grinding, chrome plating or body honing if required
Post-assembly test and quality report
Advantages of the Revision
Cost SavingsOverhaul instead of manufacturing or purchasing a new cylinder is a much lower cost solution.
Shorter Lead TimeOverhaul operations can be completed faster compared to production and lead times.
Extending Equipment LifeRegular overhaul can extend the roller's operational life by up to 50%.
Performance and ReliabilityThe revised cylinder that has passed the tests continues to operate safely under high pressure.
Hydraulic Cylinder Overhaul Stages
Preliminary Inspection and DisassemblyThe cylinder is disassembled to identify the source of the fault and the parts are examined in detail.
Damage Analysis and Measurement: Checks for bending of the piston rod, wear on chrome plating, scratches on the body, or deformation of sealing elements.
Part Repair or ReplacementWorn parts are repaired and replaced with new ones if necessary.
Assembly and Leak TestsAfter overhaul, the cylinder is reassembled and tested under high pressure.
Quality Report and DeliveryAt the end of each revision process, a technical report is presented to the customer.
In Which Situations Is Hydraulic Cylinder Revision Required?
Oil leakage from the cylinder
Scratching or warping of the piston rod
Wear on the cylinder body
Loss of performance under pressure
Constant failure of hose connections
In such problems, revision is the most economical way to ensure the continuity of the operation without stopping the system.
