Why Is Cylinder Maintenance Important?

Hydraulic cylinders typically have a lifespan of 15-20 years before rebuild or replacement, but this can be shorter if they experience heavy use or damage. Without proper maintenance, performance and power can gradually decline, or potentially fail. Regular inspections are essential to identify and address any issues early, preventing small problems from escalating into costly repairs or extended downtime.

What to Look For?

  • Hydraulic fluid leaking from the cylinder
  • Damaged or worn seals
  • Cracks in the cylinder barrel
  • Ballooned cylinder barrel
  • Scored or marred piston rod
  • Misaligned or damaged cylinder mountings
  • Unusual vibrations from the cylinder
