Leaking seals, damaged glands, worn components and bent, scored or pitted rods can take equipment out of service. Protech rebuilds hydraulic cylinders and can manufacture a new chrome rod when the original rod is beyond practical reuse.
A leaking hydraulic cylinder is not always just a seal problem. A scored, pitted or bent chrome rod can damage a new rod seal quickly, while worn gland components, damaged threads or other mechanical issues can keep the cylinder from staying dry and operating correctly.
Protech disassembles and evaluates hydraulic cylinders to determine what needs attention before the cylinder goes back to work. Depending on the condition and construction, the repair can include seals, machining, welding or replacement of damaged components.
When the hard parts are serviceable, replacing worn seals can restore a leaking cylinder without replacing the complete assembly.
If the rod is bent, deeply scored or badly pitted, Protech can manufacture a replacement rod from new chrome rod stock.
Machining and welding capabilities help address mounting features, rod-end details and other damaged components that a seal-only repair cannot fix.
Protech is located in Lake Norden, South Dakota, making the shop convenient for hydraulic cylinder repair work coming from the Watertown, Brookings and surrounding eastern South Dakota area. Agricultural, construction, municipal and industrial cylinders can all be reviewed for rebuild or replacement-part options.
Yes. Protech can inspect leaking hydraulic cylinders and quote resealing or a more complete rebuild depending on the condition of the rod, gland, piston and other components.
A damaged rod can cause repeated seal failure. When replacement is the better repair, Protech can machine a new hydraulic cylinder rod from chrome rod stock to match the required features.
The complete cylinder is best when possible. Machine make/model, cylinder application, photos and any known part numbers are also useful for identifying the repair requirements.
Send the application details, photos, drawings or CAD files and we’ll review the job before pricing it.
