Heavy machinery relies on both hard chrome and electroless nickel plating from premature wear that causes downtime and production loss. Even though both of these finishes protect the substrate metal, each has an area of expertise.
How Hydraulic Cylinder and Piston Rod Repairs Save Operations From Costly Downtime
When a hydraulic cylinder fails mid-operation, everything stops. Industries like mining, construction, and agriculture, that downtime has a price tag most companies can’t afford. The solution isn’t to replace it, instead it is a precise repair process that can return a damaged cylinder or piston rod to full working spec. What is a hydraulic cylinder […]
Surface Protection for Dry Bulk Material Handling with Hard Chrome and Electroless Nickel Plating
Dry bulk material handling processes high volume particles of various sizes, it places a great amount of stress on the machines and wears away at the surface of the hydraulic rods.
Avoid Downtime with Hydraulic Cylinder Repairs
According to Applied Sciences in a 2021 article entitled, “Failure Analysis for Hydraulic System of Heavy-Duty Machine Tool with Incomplete Failure Data,” found that 50% of hydraulic cylinder failures were caused by oil pollution, poor maintenance and unsatisfactory outsourced parts quality.
