4. Remove Old Seals Once you can access the seals, carefully remove the old seals using appropriate tools. Avoid scratching or damaging the surfaces where the new seals will be placed.
2. Decreased Performance If the hydraulic ram is struggling to lift or move loads effectively, it may be due to seal wear leading to loss of hydraulic pressure.
4. O-Rings Though often used in static applications, specifically designed O-rings can serve as effective shaft seals in hydraulic systems. Their circular shape allows them to compress and create a tight seal under pressure.
5. Reputation and Experience A well-established manufacturer with a solid reputation in the industry is often a safer choice. Look for reviews and testimonials from other customers to gauge their satisfaction with the products and services received.
