Is Your Hydraulic Cylinder About to Fail?
Are your hydraulic cylinders trying to tell you something? Learning to recognize the telltale warning signs of serious cylinder problems will help you correct them before they become catastrophic failures. The most common warning signs are:
- Contaminated fluid – This is a frequent cause of hydraulic cylinder failure. Foreign particles in the hydraulic fluid can scratch and score the interior of the cylinder and eat away at critical seals and fittings.
- Loud, banging noises – A hydraulic cylinder should not sound like a jackhammer. Loud noises are typically caused by cavitation or aeration which can cause fluid contamination and damage to system components through loss of lubrication, overheating, and burning of seals.
- Overheating – Be aware of the general operating temperature of your cylinders because an unusual rise in temperature could be symptomatic of abnormal conditions within the cylinder. A hot cylinder can prevent the system from operating effectively, damage seal compounds, accelerate oil degradation, and waste electricity.
- Damaged or bent piston rods or rod bearings – This problem is often caused by overloading the cylinder or by a misalignment between the load and the cylinder. Rough places on the rod can damage the seals, reduce their lifespan, and require them to be replaced frequently.
- Broken eye bearing – The eye bearing can break when the cylinder is forced to handle a heavier load than it was designed for or from shock loading, which occurs when there’s a sudden impact to full pressure (or beyond) that can be caused by an abnormal load or improper operation.
