Through-Rod Cylinder Testing and Maintenance

Follow the transformation of a double-acting cylinder into a through-rod cylinder, including honing and hydrostatic testing.
We present a complete cylinder maintenance service and conversion. The video details the conversion of a double-acting hydraulic cylinder (260mm bore, 150mm rod, 300 BAR) into a through-rod cylinder. The process included precision honing services, installation of new pistons, seal replacement and rigorous hydrostatic testing.
