Hydraulic Cylinders All trucks 9279 02-09 Service Technical Handbook Publ. Gr. S. Clean hydraulics Hydraulic systems are extremely sensitive to impurities - a hy- draulic system is just as sensitive as a diesel engine’s fuel sys- tem, with its pumps, filters and lines. It is therefore extremely important that hydraulic systems are kept clean and free from impurities.
Hydraulic Cylinders All trucks 9279 02-09 Service Technical Handbook Publ. Gr. S. Gasses The most common gas that occurs as an impurity in a hydraulic system is air. Unlike fluids, gasses can be compressed. If air is allowed to enter a hydraulic system, this compression will be ex- perienced as a “sponginess”...

Never fit components where the protective plugs have fallen out - impurities may have entered the system IMPORTANT! If there is the slightest doubt about the purity of the hy- draulic fluid - send a fluid sample to the manufacturer of the fluid, or to Kalmar Service...
Hydraulic Cylinders All trucks 9279 02-09 Service Technical Handbook Publ. Gr. S. Fault finding for leakage 1. All fault finding should take place with the minimum hydraulic pressure required to actually discover the leakage. High pres- sure will tighten all seals and make it more difficult to discover any leakage.
Hydraulic Cylinders All trucks 9279 02-09 Service Technical Handbook Publ. Gr. S. The function and removal of seals Piston rod seals The piston rod seal is the seal that sits in a groove in the hydraulic cylinder head forming a seal against the piston rod. This seal is very exposed as it performs both dynamic and static sealing func- tions, i.e., it is seals against the moving surface of the piston rod whilst the sealing surface against the cylinder head is static.
Page 160
Hydraulic Cylinders All trucks 9279 02-09 Service Technical Handbook Publ. Gr. S. Piston rod seal type TICLA is of compact design with integrated support ring. It has an inner sealing lip against the piston rod and an outer sealing lip which seals with press fit against the cylinder head.
Hydraulic Cylinders All trucks 9279 02-09 Service Technical Handbook Publ. Gr. S. The compressible piston rod seal consists of a solid rubber profile and gives a greater sealing area than V seals. Use a screwdriver to remove the seal, see illustration. Lever out and twist up the seal.
Hydraulic Cylinders All trucks 9279 02-09 Service Technical Handbook Publ. Gr. S. Wiper The task of the wiper is to scrape the piston rod clean and prevent øD+10 any impurities being drawn into the cylinder pipe. The wiper must be fitted with a special tool. This tool must have a greater outer diameter than the wiper, so that the pressure against the wiper ceases just as the wiper is pressed into posi- tion.
Hydraulic Cylinders All trucks 9279 02-09 Service Technical Handbook Publ. Gr. S. Single action V type piston seals with support ring On single action V seals it is always the long side that seals against the static and the short side that seals against the moving surface.
Hydraulic Cylinders All trucks 9279 02-09 Service Technical Handbook Publ. Gr. S. Double action piston seals Double action seals function with pressure from both directions, e.g., in a steering cylinder. The whole of the surface within the cylinder pipe is the sealing surface, it is therefore extremely important that this surface is not damaged in any way.
Hydraulic Cylinders All trucks 9279 02-09 Service Technical Handbook Publ. Gr. S. Lubrication 1. Within the actual hydraulic system - never anything other than the normal hydraulic fluid used in the hydraulic system. 2. On the cylinder head thread - use copper paste (e.g., Moly- cote CU 7439).
Hydraulic Cylinders All trucks 9279 02-09 Service Technical Handbook Publ. Gr. S. Dismantling the steering cylinder On the steering cylinder, it can be very difficult to remove the pis- ton from the cylinder as the O ring in the cylinder head sticks in the locking ring groove of the cylinder pipe.
