COMMON CAUSES OF CYLINDER FAILURE

High usage and harsh site conditions make major contributions to cylinder failure. Impact, corrosion and abrasion all take their toll, too, which can lead to serious machine performance issues. But surprisingly, 75-85% of hydraulic system failures are traced to contamination issues*. Simply keeping your hydraulic fluid clean through smart contamination control practices can significantly reduce cylinder failures and repair/replacement costs.

*According to industry standards.

FIVEL LEVELS OF REPAIR TO DISCUSS WITH YOUR DEALER

LEVEL 1:  RESEAL

Resealing your cylinder is the lowest cost option. Restore undamaged components with fast dealer turnaround service or order DIY kits.

  • Lowest-cost option

 

LEVEL 2:  REPAIR

Do your components show light damage?  Then this is the option for your machine.  A quick turn-around from your experienced dealer delivers results and gets you back to work quickly. 

  • Ideal for lightly-damaged components
  • Dealer tools and expertise assure results
  • Retains reusable parts for cost efficiency

 

LEVEL 3:  REBUILD

When you have older and worn components a rebuild is the right choice.  It retains usable parts for cost efficiency and includes engineering updates for a like-new result. 

  • For more severely damaged cylinders and rods
  • Retains reusable parts for cost efficiency

 

LEVEL 4:  CAT REMAN

When you select the Cat Reman option, you’ll receive like-new performance at a fraction of the cost of new, including a same-as-new 12-month Caterpillar Limited Warranty.*** Off-the-shelf availability helps minimize downtime versus rebuilding a component, while sustainability benefits offer less energy and materials used compared to the manufacture of new parts.

  • ~45-85% cost of new parts*
  • Less greenhouse gas process emissions & less process energy used**
  • 80-90% less new materials used**

*Cost savings based on return of core; core conditions apply. Warranty can vary by model and application; limitations may apply. For complete details about the applicable Caterpillar Limited Warranty, contact an authorized Cat dealer.

**Represents U.S. environmental impacts comparing "gate-to-gate" remanufacturing and manufacturing processes for engines and components. Based on 2018 external study of Cat engines, alternators and turbochargers. Does not include impacts elsewhere in our value chain.

***Warranty can vary by model and application; limitations may apply.  For complete details about the applicable Caterpillar Limited Warranty, contact an authorized Cat dealer.
