How to assemble the custom hydraulic cylinder

 A Custom Hydraulic cylinder is made up of a clevis, end cap, port, piston and piston rod, a seal gland and finally a seal. This hydraulic cylinder works by pressuring a fluid sealed within the cylinder, to force the piston to extend and retract with great speed and force. 

Assembling a hydraulic cylinder is a relatively straightforward process, with each part attaching to the other in a specific manner. The assembly can only begin after each part is inspected for its quality and cleanliness. 

The basic steps for hydraulic cylinder assembly are:

1. First, the seals (for the piston, cylinder head, etc.) are placed in their respective positions along with the bearing and snap ring.
2. The cylinder head and the piston are then attached to the cylinder rod.
3. The seals around the cylinder head and piston are oiled.
4. Once the piston rod is assembled, it is then ready for cylinder barrel installation
5. The tube is horizontally fitted to an installation bench, in which a bearing is installed and the tube is meticulously oiled from the inside.
6. The hard chrome rod is then inserted into the honed tube, with the piston end first.
7. Once these are finished, the grease nipples and bearings are then installed.
