1. Disassemble the Jack Carefully take apart the bottle jack, noting the position of each component. Make sure to place all parts in a safe area to avoid losing anything.
2. Back-up Rings These are used in conjunction with seals to provide additional support and prevent extrusion of the seals under high pressure. Back-up rings help extend the life of the seals by preventing wear and tear.
In conclusion, cross hydraulic cylinder seal kits are an essential component for maintaining the performance and longevity of hydraulic cylinders. By investing in quality seal kits and regularly inspecting and replacing the seals, you can prevent leaks, extend the life of the cylinder, and improve the efficiency of the hydraulic system. This ultimately leads to cost savings and improved productivity for the operator.
Selecting the right cylinder seal kit is critical for ensuring the performance of hydraulic and pneumatic systems. It requires precise knowledge of the equipment’s specifications, including bore size, stroke length, and the type of fluid used. Manufacturers often provide guidelines for selecting the appropriate seal kit, which may include information about compatibility with different fluids and working pressures. Ensuring the right fit not only guarantees optimal performance but also minimizes the risk of premature failure.
Step 4 Clean and Inspect Components
5. Clean the Surfaces Thoroughly clean the areas where the seals will be installed. Any debris or residue can affect the performance of the new seals and lead to premature failure.
The temperature range of nitrile is −35° to 120 °C (−30° to 250 °F). Due to this wide range, NBR seals can be used for gas oil, silicone oil, animal/vegetable oils and fat, hydraulic liquid as well as hot and cold water. In addition, NBR is oil resistant and has an excellent abrasion resistance, so for any application that demands shock absorbers, NBR is a perfect choice to go with.
