đź”§ Your hydraulic cylinder is discontinued. What now?
When an OEM stops supplying a hydraulic cylinder, finding a suitable replacement can be difficult—especially for older industrial, mining, marine, and heavy-duty equipment.
A replacement cylinder needs to be more than just the right bore and stroke.
Mounting dimensions, ports, pressure, materials, tolerances, seals, and surface treatments all need to match the engineering requirements.
We’ve put together a practical guide covering what you need to prepare before sourcing an obsolete hydraulic cylinder replacement, including:
âś… Engineering drawing requirements
âś… Key dimensions and specifications
âś… RFQ preparation
âś… Custom manufacturing considerations
âś… Inspection and pressure testing
