What are the common failures that can occur with hydraulic cylinders?

Common failures of hydraulic cylinders include, but are not limited to, the following:

1, oil leakage: it may be that the seals are aging or damaged, or the product itself has cracks or defects leading to oil leakage.

2, piston rod stuck or unbalanced: may be the accumulation of dirt or oxides on the piston rod resulting in stuck, or the piston rod is damaged or bent resulting in imbalance.

3, fluid contamination: may be mixed with impurities in the fluid, water or air leading to contamination, so that the internal parts of the hydraulic cylinder wear increased.

4, too slow or too fast: may be improperly regulated system, resulting in the product piston movement is too slow or too fast, thus affecting the efficiency of the equipment.

5, polymer generation: may be the chemical reaction of the additives in the hydraulic oil leading to the generation of polymer substances, which in turn affects the performance of the hydraulic system, and even clogging of the pipeline.

The above are only some common hydraulic cylinder failure, if found fault should be overhauled and maintained as soon as possible.
