seal kits

Recognizing the signs of seal failure early can prevent more significant issues down the line. Common indicators include visible fluid leaks around the cylinder, decreased performance or responsiveness of the hydraulic system, unusual noises during operation, and increased pressure drops. Regular inspections and maintenance can help identify potential seal issues before they escalate.

The seals in an excavator's boom cylinder are designed to prevent hydraulic fluid from leaking out and to keep contaminants from entering the hydraulic system. If these seals become worn or damaged, you may notice several issues. Common signs include hydraulic fluid leaks around the cylinder, decreased lifting power, and irregular operation of the boom. Ignoring these issues can lead to more severe problems, including complete hydraulic failure, which can result in costly repairs and downtime.

- U-Cup Seals Shaped like the letter U, these seals provide excellent sealing capabilities for low to medium pressures. They are particularly effective in dynamic applications, where they can maintain a consistent seal against the piston even under motion.

1. O-Rings These are the most common type of seal, consisting of a circular ring made from elastomeric materials. O-rings are versatile and can be used in various applications due to their simple design and effective sealing capabilities.
