Why Hydraulic Cylinders Fail
You will want to keep your hydraulic cylinders from failing when you need them most. Here are the most common causes of cylinder failure:
- Contaminated oil – Contaminated oil is one of the most common causes of hydraulic cylinder failure. Foreign particles in the oil can scratch and score the interior of the cylinder and eat away at critical seals and fittings. Installing high-efficiency filters in your hydraulic system can help ensure that clean oil is entering the cylinder. Check the filter regularly to prevent clogging and keep debris from getting to the inside of the cylinder.
- Overheated cylinder – A hot cylinder can prevent the system from operating effectively, crack seal compounds, accelerate oil degradation, and waste electricity.
- Damaged/bent piston rods or rod bearings – This problem is often caused by overloading the hydraulic cylinder or by misalignment of the load and the cylinder. Rough places on the rod can damage the seals, reduce their normal life, and cause you to replace them frequently.
- Broken eye bearing – The eye bearing can break if the cylinder is forced to handle a heavier load than it was designed for or by a sudden impact caused by high pressure.
- Seal leakage – The most common reason for this is an improperly fitted seal. However, corrosion or abrasion of the cylinder seal grooves, oil contamination or entrapment, and incorrect metalwork clearances are a few of the other reasons that seals may leak.
- Excessive moisture – Exposure to heavy moisture, either ambient or within the fluid, can lead to rod corrosion, damage of the seal, and the failure of your entire hydraulic system. In some cases, a corroded and damaged rod can be re-chromed or polished to refinish it.
