HYDROPNEU Assembly instructions · M1 - Replacement of bushings
This type of bushing is a plug-in sleeve held by cheese head screws which serves as seal carrier and guide box. A major advantage of the HYDROPNEU hydraulic cylinder Type 51 and Type 55 is the simple way of replacing the bushing without having to open the complete cylinder.


Progress of the assembly:
Note:
As a replacement package, the completely equipped bushing is available besides the complete seal kit.
For the disassembly of the bushing two fixing screws must be removed at first. To draw off the bushing more easily two tapped holes for lifting screws are provided in the flange range.
Then the bushing can be taken off easily by drawing it over the piston rod.
Assembly of bushing

Before the assembly of the bushing equipped with new seals (on this point see also our operating instructions “Replacement of piston rod seals“), the appropriate fits are greased with silicone-free grease. This makes the assembly easier and prevents mechanical damage of the seals and of the statically sealing O-ring when assembling. Additionally the greasing is meant as a protection in regard to a long storage or standstill period until setting into operation.
Now, the stuffing box is being put into the cylinder head from the front and fixed by the cylinder screws which are tightened by controlling the torque.
Please consider the correct tightening torque for assembly!

If you have any further questions, you are welcome to ask us any time.
