Repair FAILED Hydraulic Cylinder | Part 1 | Making a New Barrel

This hydraulic cylinder failure is one of the WORST we have seen lately! The piston and seals are completely destroyed and the inside of the cylinder barrel is shredded from one end to the other. This is the stick cylinder off a Komatsu PC300 Excavator, it is a high cycle cylinder that gets a lot of use, so when things fail they can turn bad really quickly. The reason this hydraulic cylinder has failed is due to a number of reasons but it all started from the bad design of the OEM piston seals. The cast iron pressure seals are not a good idea! This video is Part 1 where we show step by step of making the new barrel. We need to remove the barrel end and head flange off the old barrel and machine up the new barrel. We also fit and weld on the ends to the new barrel using spray transfer MIG welding.

For a short while I worked for a heavy equipment manufacturer. Our very expensive machines (Also very manitenance-heavy) needed some frame repair on-site due to abuse, but we sent an engineer and a technician to do the job. The jobsite secured a welding machine per our instruction, but literally had no other tools. None. They lifted the cab off the machine with rope they found at the local village. They found a breaker bar and a large adjustable wrench to do the rest of the disassembly. How you can buy a bunch of heavy mining equipment and not have a maintenance truck is beyond my comprehension. I don't even think they had tools to do oil changes. 😕 I think this situation was big $5M worth of machines and pay local peasants to drive them. Get paid $10M for job completion, and abandon all the machinery in the remote village.

It is incredible that the lack of maintenance, and the replacement of a filter of no more than 100 dollars, produces the catastrophic deterioration that I have seen today. Great job guys!! Greetings from Argentina

@Simon-ho6ly 2 года назад

Nah they are a chunk more than that, but compared to the cost of repairing... well replacing this cylender its absolutely nothing in comparison, especially when every other cyl in the machine, plus the hydraulic motors for slew and drive are probably going to need the same treatment before long... also maybe the pump... OH and the valves

@nickmaclachlan5178 2 года назад

The filter's just there to protect the pump and stop circulation of crap in the system, once that thing started galling up there was no saving it.... All but the most attentive operators just run their machines until they break. Bosses don't care about preventative maintenance cos they don't see the advantage, why take a running machine out of service? That costs them money. Problem is they end up spending more when the inevitable catastrophic failure happens........ so it's a double edged sword.

When I was an equipment mechanic I'd use a stethoscope and listen to the hydraulic cylinders and predict the next one to fail. I'd mark them by stamping my initials into the barrel by a pressure port. When machines would come in with metal in the hydraulic oil the yard guys would look for my stamp to know which cylinder to pull. My boss hated it because I was right so often. 🤣

@dannhennells2681 2 года назад

Nice job, I’ve been doing this for 35 years, you do an excellent job explaining. I’ve seen this same scenario many times, it’s hard to tell once the damage is so extensive. Normally this starts from contamination in the system and every stroke just makes it worse as you see. The cast iron piston rings are used normally when the piston passes over the port, although harder than the Teflon piston seal it’s still a good bearing surface against the honed tube. The unfortunate thing is that now all that metal is everywhere in the system, including most likely all the cylinders, valves, track motors ,rotary swivel and hoses. One thing also to consider is the oil might have broke down in the heat and lost lubricity and started the whole process as well.again great job on your repair, it’s nice to see someone who knows how to do the job the right way.

This worked but eventually another bucket ram started to get weak. We should of had all the rams inspected for contamination initially. But the big brute ran well after that and 5 years later my dad sold it. It seems that excavators just get abused..

“That’s really a shit design.” 😂 oh the honesty. How many engineers have messed up something by making it over complicated. Thank you to those engineers that make things better. Great video as always. And incredible camera work as usual 🤗

I used to work on 18 wheelers and I believe every Ford engineer has to have at least a masters degree in "shit design". I absolutely hated working on their trucks.

Wow Kurtis how the hell could you not hear that happening on the machine, it must have been squealing like a banshee. Great informative video as always thanks to you both, oh and Karl. 👍

Between the sound of the engine, the hydraulic pump, the radio, the heater/AC, the bucket scraping on rocks, the other machinery around, not to mention the squealing, ungreased pins and I'm not surprised they didn't hear it.

Dear Kurtis, I love the fact that your primary drive is to make your jobs look “right” rather than get them out of the door quickly. If only all manufacturers had the same attitude, the world would be a better place. Thanks.
