HOW TO REPAIR THE HYDRAULIC CYLINDER ROD

 Hydraulic cylinders can be repaired, but you should never attempt these repairs on your own. Although hydraulic cylinders have a simple design, you must be familiar with them in order to efficiently repair them. When a technician performs hydraulic cylinder repairs, they take the entire mechanism apart and reassemble to find the root cause of the issue.

COMMON POINTS OF HYDRAULIC CYLINDER FAILURE
There are several common points of hydraulic cylinder failure. These include the piston, cylinder rod, seals, and head.

PISTON
The pistons in hydraulic cylinders are one of the most common points of failure. This is especially true in light-duty applications. The pistons used in light-duty applications are often made from aluminum, which wears out much more quickly than the steel used in heavy-duty applications.

When checking pistons for failure, technicians will often measure the diameter of the piston. The piston’s diameter in relation to the bore directly affects the amount of hydraulic pressure that the piston is able to deliver. If there are issues with your piston’s measurements, it will need to be replaced, along with any wear band that is installed.

ROD
Rods are perhaps the most likely culprit of a hydraulic cylinder failure. Rods often develop small cracks after long periods of heavy use. A technician will use a special dye to check for cracks in the rod.

Bent hydraulic cylinder chrome bars commonly cause hydraulic cylinder failures. A rod only needs to be bent very slightly for the cylinder to fail. One of the easiest ways to check for a bent rod is to inspect the chrome finish. If it is bright and shiny on one side, but worn off on the other, the rod is bent. Thankfully, bent rods can often be repaired by straightening in a press.

SEALS
There are seals on both the piston and the rod of a hydraulic cylinder. If these seals leak, the cylinder will not be as powerful. Additionally, all of the oil will eventually leak out and the cylinder will fail. Unfortunately, damaged seals are often signs of more serious problems. While the seals themselves should certainly be replaced, the piston and rod should also be inspected.

A piston seal failure often indicates that the barrel has become distorted. Sometimes, the barrel is the only thing that needs to be replaced, but sometimes a distorted barrel is often caused by a problem with the piston. If this is the case, the entire cylinder must be replaced.

WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGES OF OUR Hydraulic cylinder ROD?
  1. Carbon steel balances durability, hardness, and wear resistance using formability, weldability, and durability;
  2. Chrome plating provides corrosion resistance along with an Extremely reflective look
  3. High precision tolerances, which ensures when used to make hydraulic piston rod, it can fit the cylinder precisely.
  4. Good Hardness: the surface hardness attaining HV850 minimal and upward, which not only help improve wear resistance but also help extend the life span of these chrome plated rods, thereby helping the consumer save the cost.

40CR ALLOY STEEL SPECIFICATION

  40Cr steel  is a kind of Chinese GB standard alloy steel for engineering and machinery purpose, and one of the most widely used steel grades. For 40Cr material hardness, specifications and equivalent, please see the table below. After quenching and tempering treatment, 40Cr steel has good comprehensive mechanical properties, low temperature impact toughness, low notch sensitivity, good hardenability, and high fatigue strength in cold oil. When water cooling, the complicated shape of the parts is prone to cracks, the cold bending plasticity is medium, and the cutting workability after normalizing is good, but the weldability is poor, should be preheated before welding, and is generally used in the state of quenching and tempering. DATASHEET & SPECIFICATION The tables below list 40Cr alloy steel datasheet and specification including chemical composition, properties and heat treatment, etc. 40CR STEEL CHEMICAL COMPOSITION   Chemical Composition (%) Grade C % Si Mn Cr 40Cr 0.37 – 0.4

Skiving &Roller Burnishing Tube And Honing Tube

Image
Skiving and roller burnishing tube  process provide high quality hydraulic cylinders with final sizing and creates the desired finish pattern on the interior of tubing or cylinder bores. They are used in the manufacturing of  hydraulic cylinders . Compared to honing process, they are 80-90% saving of machine time which reduces tool costs per meter of tube length and produces super finish surface, with a bore tolerance of IT8, thereby reduces the sealing wear making it ideal for pistons. The skiving tool is a multifunctional tool used in the manufacturing of hydraulic cylinders. Skiving is operated like this: Two thin chips are cut at a high feed rate (1-4 mm/rev) while the tool passes through the work piece. This cutting operation determines the finished diameter and tolerance of the hydraulic tube. Surface finish Ra= 4-10 μm (skiving) Skiving has obvious advantages compared with honing: • 80-90% saving of machine time which reduces tool costs per meter of tube length. • Produ

What is Hydraulic Ram Cylinder?

  Hydraulic ram cylinders   are typically used to give vertical motion, including lifting loads in a vertical direction. Such a cylinder is also used to provide the motion in a horizontal direction but needs attention and suitable guides to guide the motion. Single-acting hydraulic cylinders that have no pistons but have large  cylinder rod s are called rams. These rams operate exactly like the conventional single acting hydraulic  cylinders. However, they use large diameter rods in place of pistons and piston seals in their designs. Thus, in place of pistons, rams have high-pressure cap-end ports. They also do not have any low-pressure rod-end ports. Rams are generally cheaper than their conventional single-acting cylinders counterparts.
