Allis Hydraulic Cylinder on Shredder

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   The last time I bought a set of those Chevron packings,  the whole stack was $8 from Motion Industries. $80 isn't too bad to have somebody that knows what they are doing, disassemble and replace them, and have a good inspection of all working components in the cylinder.
 You should be Good To Go for at least another 30 years with that cylinder, as long as it is never left with the rod exposed to develop rust, that WILL eat up the packing. If it ever does leak a bit more than needed, you should be able to adjust pressure on the packing by tightening the gland nut up a bit at a time. They DO need to let a slight film of oil pass by to keep the outside packing lubricated, just not leaking.

	You're thinking of a different cylinder than his. More than just a set of packings in his and no gland to take up. Edited by Jim.ME - 25 Oct 2019 at 4:52pm

	That I was, a kit for a 2 way cylinder would be twice that, at around $16 o $20, including piston seal and backing, rod seal and wiper. Edited by CTuckerNWIL - 26 Oct 2019 at 11:35am
