When well cared for, hydraulic cylinders should last decades, but sometimes these rugged components can take a beating and it is often more cost-effective, timely and environmentally sound to rebuild a damaged cylinder than to buy one new. Every individual piece of a hydraulic cylinder is replaceable, especially when you work with an experienced and qualified hydraulic shop. Common cylinder types, such as NFPA and mill-type especially were designed with repair in mind. They are both equally repairable — with NFPA cylinders it’s simple to remove nuts and tie rods to make repairs while mill-type cylinders can even be repaired while still fully or partially installed on the machine. |
