Can you replace seals in a hydraulic cylinder?
Yes, you can replace seals on a hydraulic cylinder.

Depending on seal configuration and application, the shortest life expectancy is seven years, but replacement is recommended after five. Leaky seals could be a sign of a bigger problem.

We troubleshoot and determine if there are issues with the hydraulic system.

What are the 2 types of hydraulic cylinder seals?
Hydraulic seals are either static or dynamic, depending on application.

Both seal types are used in hydraulic cylinders. The difference is that static seals remain stationary, whereas dynamic seals are exposed to motion.

What causes hydraulic seals to fail?
Hydraulic seals can harden when exposed to high-speed heat generation or high fluid temperature in applications.

Hardening results in cracks and loss of elasticity in seals, leading to seal failure.

Contaminated fluid in a hydraulic system is another common cause of hydraulic cylinder failure. Foreign micro-matter introduced into the hydraulic fluid can scratch and score the interior of the cylinder. Liquid contaminates can also chew away at important seals and fittings.
