Hydraulic Cylinders can often get pushed to the limit, especially when used for underground mining. There are several factors that cause hydraulics to fail – from damaged components within the cylinder to unexpected environmental issues, like falling rocks. As with all machinery, the worst thing you can do is ignore the warning signs. Irregular noises, …
Anyone who owns or operates machinery knows how vital it is to have healthy hydraulic cylinders. If a cylinder breaks down, your machinery will grind to a rapid halt. However, like every other machinery component, hydraulic cylinders are prone to wear and tear – the key is to recognise the signs of wear before a …
Mining companies spend a lot on hydraulic repairs. When you have machinery, especially hydraulic machinery, working long hours in hot and dusty environments you’ll naturally experience wear and tear. Quite often, the initial failure will occur in one area and set off a chain reaction throughout the hydraulic system. While it’s accepted that repairs to …
For anyone who runs machinery, downtime is the ultimate enemy. Apart from adding another headache to your already busy day, a broken-down machine costs you money every minute. One crucial part of your machinery that will need repairs or replacing over time is the hydraulics. Thankfully, parts like hydraulic cylinders usually give you a few …

Unscheduled Downtime can create greater issues than just damaged or unreliable equipment. Downtime refers to any event in which production is inhibited or delayed due to unforeseen machinery damages or failures. Issues of downtime include unnecessary costs of replacing and repairing equipment along with the costs of keeping a worksite open without any operations being …
Hydraulic systems store fluid under tremendous pressure, typically 2,000 PSI. Not only is the fluid under a huge amount of pressure, it is also hot and toxic.Working on complex hydraulic mining systems can be dangerous and demands strict safety rules. Here are some general safety guidelines to follow when dealing with high-pressure hydraulic cylinders.
There are many different applications for hydraulic equipment in a variety of modern systems, ranging from small systems in automobiles to the heavier systems used in larger machinery like mining equipment. Any downtime results in lost production time and money, but if you can rebuild or repair the Component you can significantly reduce costs associated …

Many businesses that require hydraulic machinery in day-to-day operations are under increasing pressure to reduce their costs and spending each year. More than $600 billion per year is spent by the industry in general on repairing damage caused by wear. (Source: Machinery Lubrication). Reduce the cost of running hydraulic equipment by considering factors including maintenance, …
Repair and service of hydraulic cylinders is a crucial process that should be done regularly. This will stop any issues from developing and will also extend the lifetime of the cylinder, minimising the downtime and expense associated with a broken cylinder. A hydraulic cylinder functions as the primary driver at the heart of many kinds …
Hydraulics operate under enormous amounts of pressure. Due to a combination of factors, these components will wear over time, creating serious problems and potential risks. Repairing or replacing worn hydraulic components can be a costly and timely process, affecting your productivity. By acknowledging that these components will be exhausted throughout their life by high-pressure hydraulic …
