A hydraulic cylinder is a critical part of a hydraulic system and is made up of several parts. With regular usage, there can be several wear and tear which can lead to leaks, loss of power, or even complete failure. The repairing process of a cylinder involves inspection, replacement, and reassembly of its internal and external components.
Here is the list of major components in a cylinder:
Cylinder Barrel – The main body of the cylinder. If it gets dented, worn, or scored, it may need honing or replacement.
Piston – Creates the pressure seal inside the barrel. If damaged or pitted, it must be repaired or replaced.
Piston Rod – A common wear part. Bent, scratched, or rusted rods are straightened, re-chromed, or replaced.
Seals & O-Rings – The most frequently replaced parts. This includes piston seals, rod seals, wiper seals, wear rings, and back-up rings.
Head / Gland – The part where the rod passes through the cylinder and contains bushings and seals that usually need replacement.
End Caps – Checked for leakage or thread damage. Repaired or replaced if necessary.
Bushings / Bearings – Support the rod and reduce friction. Worn bushings are replaced to ensure smooth movement.
Ports & Fittings – Inspected for oil leaks or damage.
Pins & Mounts – Checked for alignment and replaced if loose or worn.
