Top Reasons for Hydraulic Cylinder Failure
Improperly maintained hydraulic cylinders will eventually fail, sometimes with catastrophic results. Here are the most common causes of hydraulic cylinder failure:
- Contaminated fluid – Contaminated fluid 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.
- Leaking seal – 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.
- Broken eye bearing – The eye bearing can break when the cylinder is forced to handle a heavier load than it was designed for or 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.
- Damaged or bent piston rods or rod bearings – This problem is often caused by overloading the hydraulic cylinder or by a misalignment between 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.
- Overheated cylinder – A hot cylinder can prevent the system from operating effectively, damage seal compounds, accelerate oil degradation and waste electricity.
