Hydraulic Cylinder Overhauled with New Seals & Fabricated New Gland

05.11.2019

Hydraulic cylinder overhaul and gland fabrication

Hydraulic Cylinder 2nd set:

Upon dismantling, found the following issues:

  • Seal and O-Ring complete set damaged – to make new seals and fit
  • Both bearings damaged – to remove damaged bearings, clean bearing housing, procure and fit new bearings and circlips
  • Hydraulic Cylinder inner housing cleaned and checked. Inside threads found damaged at few points – to repair threads / dress-up
  • Ram, End-cover cleaned and checked. Outer threads on cover found damaged at few points – to repair threads / dress-up
  • Upon pressure testing, the stuffing box threads gave away due to material fatigue / failure
  • Fabricated new stuffing box
  • Assembled the Hydraulic Cylinder Ram with new set of seals and O-rings

Pressure Test hydraulically for leak detection and operation. Our history reflects the fact that we perform top rate work; twenty-four hours and seven day-a-week shifts, which ensures minimum downtime for vessels under repair.
