HYDRAULIC CYLINDER REPAIR

For linear power applications, a hydraulic cylinder is your best option. Depending on the pressure of your hydraulic system and the size and geometry of your hydraulic cylinder internals, you can deliver incredible amounts of power to extend or retract your cylinder. The basic components of a hydraulic cylinder are simple: a cylindrical cavity houses a piston and is capped at both ends by a cylinder bottom and a cylinder head. A shaft attached to one end of the piston passes through a seal at the cylinder head cap. Pressurized hydraulic fluid applies force to one side of the piston or the other, moving it in or out.

This type of hydraulic cylinder is found in many industrial applications such as presses, construction equipment, cranes, forges and more, and can deliver thousands of tons when properly dimensioned and configured. With that kind of pressure, you can expect that your hydraulic cylinders will eventually start to leak or fail completely. If you're in need of hydraulic cylinder repair, it’s time to call Hard Chrome.

A leaking hydraulic cylinder requires immediate emergency repairs, as wear can only increase, and you risk permanently damaging a cylinder barrel if you run it too long without repairs. To ensure minimal downtime it's critical to have your hydraulic shafts repaired as soon as you notice a problem. Let our experienced engineering team return your hydraulic cylinders to proper operating condition so that you can get back to work with equipment you can count on.

Here at Hard Chrome Specialists, we’ve spent decades becoming a PA leader in hydraulic system repair. Our experienced team has repaired industrial hydraulic cylinders for customers in Harrisburg, York and all across the state of Pennsylvania. Thanks to our hydraulic system knowledge and engineering expertise, we can easily diagnose the problems with your hydraulic cylinder and make the right repairs quickly.

Hydraulic Cylinder Repair Solutions for Customers in PA and MD

Since 1988, Hard Chrome Specialists has been offering smarter plating solutions and hydraulic shaft and system repairs to customers in York, Harrisburg, Lancaster and beyond. Today, we have customers across PA and MD and continue to grow our business throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Our replating surfaces help you get more life out of your hydraulic cylinders and pistons, saving you money over the cost of replacing them or buying new equipment. Thanks to our experience and well-trained technicians, we are your top PA and MD choice for hydraulic cylinder repair and replating.

Over time, even well-maintained cylinders will wear out. The linear movement of pistons within their cylinders causes the surfaces to wear. Running a hydraulic cylinder without proper plating can cause damage to the cylinder over time, and replating is often a much more economical alternative to a full hydraulic shaft repair. When your hydraulic cylinders require plating, contact Hard Chrome Specialists. We are based in York, PA and can deliver our unbeatable hydraulic cylinder repair to customers in PA and MD. Discover why more and more businesses and industrial customers in the area consider Hard Chrome Specialists as the best hydraulic repair shop around.

If you need to fix a hydraulic cylinder, simply send us a message, and we will get back to you. Provide as many details as possible about the size, type and nature of your hydraulic cylinders as well as any observations you have made on the type and gravity of the failure. Our team can then come and assess the damage and determine the best course of action to repair them and get you back to work.

When you choose us to repair your cylinders, we not only fix what is broken. We can also make improvements to further increase the life of your cylinders and pistons. With our experience and hydraulic cylinder knowledge, we can propose improved coatings that resist wear, corrosion and scoring while reducing friction. Not only do we offer superior hydraulic cylinder repair, we also provide unmatched cylinder plating to customers in PA and beyond to ensure their cylinders remain operational for the long haul. The result is a more reliable, efficient and dependable hydraulic system that is less likely to break down again.
