The process to match a sealing system to more-stringent cylinder demands is straightforward.  First, review the impact of the operating environment.  Then factor in component layout, mating hardware, and operating conditions to establish an effective sealing system. The first article in this series, in our July 2008 issue, explained what you should considerwhen hydraulic cylinders […]

Lakewood, N.J. – Color matching of silicone sealants has become easy and cost-effective with Bondaflex® Ucolor®, an innovative coloring system that enables users to add pigments to both one-part silicone and two-part polyurethane sealants on the job site. This colorization system virtually eliminates lead times from custom-color orders by allowing users to color in the […]

The scrapers installed in hydraulic cylinders are critical to the proper function of the system. They wipe away contaminants and moisture from the piston rods as they retract to prevent contamination of the hydraulic medium. When pressure build-up behind the scraper occurs, the scraper can be pushed out of the groove, causing total system failure. […]
