Study Proves the Importance of Correct Selection of Excavator Cylinder Seals
The working condition of the excavator cylinder is very hard. Challenges are as follows: the working pressure of the hydraulic system is large; the impact pressure is relatively high; the lateral load is large; the working temperature and the moving frequency are relatively high. Therefore, the performance of the excavator cylinder will have a direct impact on the quality of the entire machine.
Excavator cylinder components mainly include: a cylinder, piston, piston rod, bumper, external seals and standard parts.

1. Piston seals
The seal of the piston is composed of a wear ring, an anti-pollution seal ring and a combined seal ring.
The wear ring can support and guide the piston to avoid eccentricity or scratching, and it has a certain effect on enhancing the durability of the seal. The support belt must be a product with high load carrying capacity.
Wear ring for the general use of cloth to strengthen the interlayer phenolic resin. It has good wear resistance and bearing pressure. The pressure of the phenolic cloth guide belt can reach 300Mpa, which is ten times that of the Teflon bronze guide belt. The anti-pollution sealing ring can effectively avoid the oil mixing in the cylinder. Impurities cause damage to the seal. And to provide a guarantee for the life of the seal.
The material of the anti-pollution sealing ring is a polytetrafluoroethylene resin with good immersion impurities. It has a slit and a hydraulic bypass groove in the structure, which can effectively avoid the accumulation of oil pressure.
Two-way combination seals are often used in cylinder piston seals because they save space.
2. Sealing of the piston rod
The sealing structure of the piston rod includes: a sealing ring, a buffer ring, a retaining ring and a dust seal.
The seal ring has the function of sealing hydraulic oil. There is a high demand for the choice of sealing ring material, which not only has good impact resistance, wear resistance and crush resistance but also has superior sealing properties. The buffer ring acts as a buffer for decompression of the high pressure oil in the high pressure oil, thereby further reducing the pressure of the main seal. There is a retaining ring at the bottom end of the seal, which has strong anti-squeezing ability, so it can effectively prevent the buffer ring from being squeezed. In addition, the pressure generated by the retaining ring and the main seal can lubricate between the piston rod and the guide sleeve. Friction, but this requires that the buffer ring must have a reflow property to prevent excessive pressure between the buffer ring and the main seal. Therefore, the material of the buffer ring must have good wear resistance and crush resistance. Impact resistance.

The dust ring not only effectively isolates the dust, it also protects the equipment, and it also protects against oil. The movement of the live rod in the guide sleeve requires a certain oil film to be lubricated. The outer lip of the dust ring is likely to cause the oil film to aggregate to form an external leak. Therefore, this requires the inner lip of the dust seal to have a certain anti-scratch effect, hinder the leakage of the oil film.
3. Static seals
Excavators are sealed with O-rings, using nitrile rubber as raw material, and Shore hardness is in the range of 75-90. Because of the high system pressure, the 0-ring needs to be added with a retaining ring to avoid the occurrence of the O-ring being squeezed into the fit gap.
Standard of the sealing performance:
(1) Clearance of the seal ring
In the piston seal and piston rod seal, there is a certain gap between the movements. Factors affecting the gap size include: system pressure, seal material and section thickness, dynamic edge diameter and environmental degree. If the gap is large, not only will the tearing of the sliding edge of the seal root and the stationary side cause the root to be squeezed out, causing the seal to fail. Therefore, the size of the gap has a direct impact on the sealing performance, service life and processing cost of the seal.
(2) Guide belt width
Depending on the use of the guide belt to allow deformation, the corresponding curve can be selected, and the smaller telescopic deformation can ensure the guiding effect. The minimum guide strip width can be determined from the corresponding values and formulas, and then the appropriate guide strip width can be selected.
(3) Assembly and inspection of oil cylinders
When assembling the cylinder, firstly, the parts of each part are separately loaded into the relevant components, and then installed from the inside to the outside.
It is important to choose the correct excavator cylinder seal. YBAS offers professional and high quality seal kits.

More Named Storms — Is Your Luxury Pergola Ready?
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicted a 60% chance that the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season would be above normal. The administration said to watch for between 13 and 19 total named storms — those with winds of 39 mph or higher.
For homeowners in hurricane-prone regions, this raises an urgent question: are your outdoor spaces ready to weather the storm?
PERGOLUX, a leader in durable outdoor structures, designs powder-coated aluminum pergolas with adjustable louvers to withstand the harshest environments.
“Today’s outdoor living spaces face the wrath of nature’s extremes,” says Tim Heneveld, Country Director of PERGOLUX North America. “Hurricanes, tropical storms, and flash floods bring powerful winds exceeding 100 mph. Their relentless rain and rising floodwaters can quickly devastate unprepared structures. If you want to protect your investments, resilient design is essential.”
Is your aluminum pergola and louvered roof ready to take on intense storms?
The open-air elegance of patio pergolas with slat roofs is perfect for a gentle breeze, but can make them vulnerable to the violent forces of hurricane winds. These storm winds pack powerful uplift and lateral forces.
Wind uplift occurs when gusts of wind flow beneath the roof, generating upward pressure that can lift the entire structure off its base. Lateral forces push a pergola horizontally, causing it to lean or even collapse.
The key defense against these powerful forces? A reinforced frame.
“Strong, well-engineered frames act as the backbone of your pergola,” notes Heneveld. “Aluminum is the ideal material for a pergola’s frame. It combines the strength needed to resist bending or breaking with a lighter weight that reduces strain on the foundation.”
PERGOLUX’s pergolas feature reinforced frames engineered to withstand intense storms with confidence. In fact, their latest model, the Skydance Series 3 Pergola, is specially crafted to endure winds up to 165 mph, which means that even when fierce hurricanes like Milton sweep through, these pergolas remain intact.
Reinforced aluminum frames designed with thickened beams and precision connections stand up to wind uplift and lateral pressure. Hurricane-rated bolts, brackets, and screws hold everything tightly together to prevent weak points that storms so often exploit. When each joint is reinforced and well-anchored, your pergola can remain a steadfast retreat despite the wildest weather. Thicker beams and columns combined with robust engineering techniques give these pergolas superior strength. Extra support brackets, hidden fasteners, and precise assembly methods ensure the frame endures.
Elevated bases can protect your luxury pergola from floods
Along with high winds, storms bring torrential rain. Rising water can undermine structural footings and rot wooden materials, which can destabilize the entire installation.
An elevated base is a strategic line of defense. “By constructing your pergola on raised concrete footings or piers, you create a gap between the ground and the structure,” notes Heneveld. “During a flood, it keeps the water at bay. The elevation also prevents erosion caused by pooling rainwater.”
The best-quality outdoor pergolas offer high-grade materials and cutting-edge engineering
The key element of any storm-ready outdoor structure is its materials. PERGOLUX chooses 6063-T5 aluminum, a marine-grade alloy renowned for its incredible strength and exceptional resistance to corrosion, even when exposed to salty sea air and humid conditions.
“A wooden or vinyl pergola may look great at first,” says Heneveld, “but they often require costly upkeep or replacement after just a few seasons of storm damage. Our reinforced aluminum pergolas will give you years of worry-free durability. It will remain strong and look fantastic, no matter the weather.”
PERGOLUX’s advanced engineering solutions also protect what is inside the structure. Their patented RainLUX™ integrated gutter system channels rainwater away, preventing leaks that can damage furniture and floors.
“We offer a 10-year warranty to back up all of our claims,” Heneveld says. “It’s our commitment that these structures will protect your home’s exterior environment for years to come. We want you to focus on enjoying the moments that matter in your pergola, not on the coming storms.”
Practical outdoor living tips to prepare your louvered pergola kit before storm season
Even the strongest pergola will fare better when prepped for a coming storm. “Make sure to secure your loose items,” Heneveld warns. “Before a storm, remove furniture, planters, and décor. All of these can become hazardous projectiles.”
When homeowners hear that a storm is on the way, they will want to fully secure any screens or panels. Removing detachable panels before severe weather will help protect the pergola by reducing wind resistance.
Homeowners will want to take the time to routinely inspect and maintain their pergolas. A quick check for loose fasteners or other small signs of wear goes a long way in preserving the pergola’s strength.
“Combine simple preparation with a reinforced, elevated, and expertly engineered structure, and you’ll have an outdoor space built to last,” Heneveld concludes. “Investing in a storm-ready pergola is about so much more than just avoiding damage. You’re preserving a lifestyle. A long-lasting pergola will bring you years of shaded summer barbecues and fresh-air morning coffees.”
