Hydraulic Piston Rod Repair

Our hydraulic piston rod reconditioning process restores rods to their original specifications or better:

​

1. Inspection and Damage Assessment – we conduct a detailed examination of the rod surface to identify wear, cracks, and imperfections.

2. Precision Grinding or Chemical Stripping – We remove old plating, rust, and contaminants to prepare the rod for reapplication.

3. Welding and Metal Build-up (if necessary) – For rods with deep scoring or pitting, we apply localised welding to rebuild the surface before grinding.

4. Industrial Hard Chrome Plating – A chromium layer is deposited to restore surface properties.

5. Final Grinding and Polishing – The rod undergoes precision grinding to acheive the original dimensions and final polishing to the correct surface finish.

• Cost-Effective Alternative to Replacement – Refurbishing damaged hydraulic piston rods is more economical than purchasing new components.

• Fast Turnaround and Minimal Downtime – Our hydraulic rod reconditioning services ensure your equipment gets back in action swiftly.

• OEM Specification Compliance – We restore rods to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards, ensuring perfect fit and function.

• Heavy-Duty Industrial Applications – Our chrome plating and piston rod refinishing services are trusted across construction, mining, marine, and manufacturing industries.

Hard chrome plating for hydraulic rods is a process that applies a durable chromium layer onto the piston rod surface, offering several advantages:

​

• Increased Hardness and Durability – Enhances surface strength, reducing wear and friction damage.

• Superior Corrosion Resistance – Provides a protective barrier against oxidation, rust, and pitting corrosion.

• Ultra-Smooth Finish for Optimal Performance – Ensures a low-friction surface that enhances seal longevity and hydraulic cylinder efficiency.

• Extended Equipment Lifespan – Prevents premature failure, reducing the need for frequent hydraulic cylinder replacement.
