Hydraulic Cylinder Repair

Hydraulic cylinders up to 21' long can be restored to original specs. A 40,000 lb. Torque Bench enables us to work on almost any cylinder from any machine with the built-in capability to test cylinders for proper operation up to 5,000 psi. Blanchard can replace damaged tubes, rods, rod eyes, pistons, and packing. Oversized parts are also in stock. Tubes with minor scratches can be honed. The result? Big savings over the complete replacement of the cylinder.

Machining
Sometimes a heavy casting, such as a differential housing, is damaged due to a bearing failure, resulting in a damaged bore. In the past this expensive component may have been considered non-repairable. Not any more. Through welding and machining techniques, damaged engine blocks, large castings, axles, pivot shafts (up to 12' in length) and drums can be built back up and machined to exact specifications.

Align Boring
Blanchard offers the capability of repairing bores from 1.250" to 30". Metal is added by welding to the inside of the worn or damaged bore and is followed by precision machining that allows the new pin or bearing to be press fitted. Components such as frames, buckets, equalizer bars, Z-bars, and tilt links are candidates for this repair. We offer five portable align boring and bore welding machines throughout the state, and two fully equipped trucks with professionals trained to handle all your machining, welding and fabricating needs.
