Maintenance programs that quickly repair seal leaks are integral to controlling hydraulic-system repairs and downtime. It's not a hard policy to justify. Wear is as easy to see as a drip of oil in the ...

Seals play an important role in hydraulic cylinders—they contain the fluid and prevent the leakage of fluid between components. They fall into two main categories: dynamic and static. Dynamic seals ...

As hard-chrome plating has fallen out of favor, hydraulic-cylinder manufacturers have developed alternative coatings and platings. Here is how they affect seal performance and life. • Hard-chrome ...

The development of a range of class-leading hydraulic piston seals required SKF engineers to create tailor-made materials and apply advanced analytical techniques. The piston seal lies right at the ...
