What Are the Signs that a Hydraulic Cylinder Needs Resealing?
Curious if it’s time to look into hydraulic cylinder resealing? It’s essential to reseal a cylinder before it has a major failure, and is worth the investment to tackle resealing a hydraulic cylinder.
Signs that it’s time to reseal include any leaks or drift. Leaks tend to be a point for contamination, as well as a loss of fluid - two scenarios that are best to avoid. Drifting, on the other hand, can signal other issues within the equipment that can be looked at and repaired during the resealing process.

Why Is It Important to Reseal Hydraulic Cylinders?
Resealing hydraulic cylinders is an important part of maintaining your cylinders over time, ensuring it is functioning effectively. From improving your cost-effectiveness to ensuring you have an eco-friendly system, there are numerous reasons to reseal your hydraulic cylinders. Let’s break it down.
Cost-Effectiveness
When a hydraulic cylinder begins to show signs of leaking, it’s important to reseal them to ensure you’re maintaining a cost-effective system. With leakage, your system will not run as efficiently as it can (and additionally wastes oil!). As opposed to replacing the whole system for at least $1,000, you can simply repair it for around $200, depending on your system’s needs.
Eco-Friendliness
Resealing is a more eco-friendly alternative for your hydraulic cylinders, as opposed to purchasing a new cylinder. This is because this preventative maintenance avoids you making any unnecessary additional purchases for a new system, instead repairing the one you have with just a few tools to ensure it runs smoothly for years to come.
