Hydraulic Cylinders

Hydraulic cylinders play a critical role in various marine and industrial systems. They are commonly found on hatch covers, cargo and lifeboat cranes, lifting jacks, and even steering gears. Continuous operation under heavy loads exposes these components to seal degradation, pressure loss, and surface damage—especially on chrome-plated piston rods due to corrosion or mechanical impact.

At YAF Engineering, we provide complete maintenance and reconditioning services for hydraulic cylinders, both onboard and at our workshops, ensuring maximum performance, safety, and extended service life.

Our hydraulic cylinder services include:

  • Complete disassembly, inspection, and pressure testing, either on-site or in-house
  • Supply and replacement of seals, O-rings, spherical bearings, high-pressure hoses, and other critical spares
  • Fabrication of new components, including piston crowns, piston rods, and nuts
  • Reconditioning of damaged piston rods via chrome plating or advanced laser cladding, offering improved durability over standard finishes
  • Custom pin fabrication for mounting and articulation
  • In-situ boring of pin housing brackets, using portable precision equipment

With deep technical know-how and access to modern reconditioning technologies, YAF Engineering ensures that your hydraulic systems operate smoothly, efficiently, and reliably—even under the harshest conditions.
