It’s a common dilemma for the operators of heavy-duty hydraulic systems and press machines around the world: When large diameter cylinders become worn and/or damaged – should you invest in new cylinders or repair the existing ones? While the investment in new cylinders is significant, the repair of existing cylinders can result in costly downtime, delayed production schedules, and productivity costs.

Most plant managers elect to keep older presses running as long as possible with minimal downtime and cost. To achieve this goal, it is vital to create optimal cylinder sealing. Poor sealing can cause a host of problems ranging from hydraulic fluid leakage to complicated seal replacement work. These issues are easily avoided with solid upfront planning and good sealing choices. Below you’ll find some quick tips to help accomplish that challenge.

1. Choose Seal Materials Based on Condition of the Press Cylinders
2. Reduce Friction by Selecting the Right Seal Material
3. Functionality (Speed of Installation/Repair & Maintainability)
4. Select Seals that Do Not Require Maintenance
