Protect the outer surface of the piston rod to prevent damage to the sealing element caused by bumps and scratches. Regularly clean the dust seal of the oil cylinder and the exposed piston rod to prevent dirt that is difficult to clean from sticking to the surface of the piston rod from entering the oil cylinder and damaging the piston, cylinder barrel, or sealing element.

1. The hydraulic cylinder equipment using seals needs to regularly replace the oil (hydraulic oil), and carefully clean the filter screen to ensure cleanliness standards, which can improve the seal structure and cylinder service life;
2. When using oil cylinder equipment, the system temperature must be adjusted properly. The temperature of the oil can easily affect the service life of the seals, and the longer the time, the more the oil temperature causes serious deformation and failure of the oil cylinder seals;
3. It is necessary to remove air from the system and preheat each system at the same time. Therefore, the oil cylinder equipment needs to undergo a full extension and full contraction test run for 5 strokes before running under load to avoid oil cylinder failure;
4. Frequent maintenance is required for the bolts and threads of each connecting system in the future to avoid loosening and causing faults;
5. And pay attention to the lubrication of the oil components to avoid dry friction;
6. Protect the outer surface of the piston rod to prevent damage to the sealing element caused by bumps and scratches. Regularly clean the dust seal of the oil cylinder and the exposed piston rod to prevent dirt that is difficult to clean from sticking to the surface of the piston rod from entering the oil cylinder and damaging the piston, cylinder barrel, or sealing element.
