Cat® hydraulic cylinders and rods provide the muscle for your machines. And just like your own muscles, they need proper care. At Teknoxgroup we offer you a wide range of repair options for a wide range of specific needs and budgets.
Cylinder failure is significantly influenced by heavy usage and challenging site circumstances. Impact, corrosion and abrasion all take their toll, too, which can lead to serious machine performance issues. However, surprisingly, contamination problems are to blame for 75–85% of hydraulic system failures. Cylinder failures and repair/replacement costs can be greatly decreased by simply maintaining clean hydraulic fluid through effective contamination control procedures.
Cat hydraulic cylinders are designed for better durability and precision, making them an ideal choice for tough applications. A hydraulic cylinder is an actuator that uses pressurized fluid, such as oil to provide linear power, and it consists of a cylinder barrel, a piston rod, end caps, seals, and connection ports. The cylinder barrel is closed by end caps and honed to reduce the risk of contamination and prolong the life of the seals. The rod eyes are attached to the piston rod through an inertia friction welding process for a stronger joint bond.
Cat cylinders also feature a sealing system that absorbs pressure spikes, withstands side loading, and guards against contamination. Induction hardening on the rod produces greater hardened depth which results in improved mechanical properties. This provides better protection against damages such as dents, scratches, and internal impacts. One piece forged rods may be available for applications with high stress.
Teknoxgroup is available to you for cylinder or seal repair before failure to avoid pricey repairs, helping you reduce the cost of ownership.

Hydraulic cylinders use pressurized fluid to create motion and help move heavy machinery. When pressurized fluid is forced into the cylinder, the piston rod extends or retracts and creates a linear motion. The cylinder barrel is the stationary part of the cylinder while the piston rod is the movable part. The end caps and seals help contain the fluid and keep it from leaking out. The pressure created by the fluid is what powers the hydraulic cylinder and enables it to move. Operating a machine with cylinders requires an expert touch. The operator must have the skill and knowledge to know how much pressure to apply to each individual cylinder and when to apply it to keep all components of the machine working together efficiently and smoothly. With this expertise, the operator can ensure that the machine produces the highest quality output with minimal downtime.HOW DO HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS WORK?
Preventing cylinder contamination and choosing the right repair option can save you time and money.
Contamination control is an important part of maintaining a healthy hydraulic system. Surface damage to cylinder rods, because of scoring, pitting, or denting, is a common entry point for contaminants, leading to costly repairs and reduced efficiency. Performing regular maintenance and inspections can help proactively manage potential hydraulic system issues. Additionally, if any damage is identified, selecting the right repair option is essential. By investing in the right solution, you can reduce the risk of further contamination, protect the integrity of your hydraulic system, and save time and money.
1. EFFICIENCY LOSS ALSO INCREASES FUEL USAGE.
2. TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE HIGH COST OF EFFICIENCY LOSS, IT IS VITAL TO TAKE PROACTIVE STEPS TO KEEP YOUR HYDRAULIC SYSTEM CLEAN.
3. REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND PREVENTIVE CHECKS CAN HELP DETECT AND REDUCE CONTAMINATION, KEEPING YOUR MACHINE RUNNING SMOOTHLY AND EFFICIENTLY.
