Why Choose Pneumatic Cylinder Repair Over Replacement
Since 2004, Westcoast Mill Services, LLC has been the go-to air cylinder repair shop in Georgia, nationwide and worldwide, offering cost-effective cylinder repair solutions. Because pneumatic cylinders are designed for industrial applications that require immense force and movement, they are prone to breakage, which halts facility production and leads to profit loss. Pneumatic cylinders are integral to pneumatic systems, and repair should be a top priority when a problem occurs.
Even if a cylinder is in bad shape, there is still an air cylinder rebuild option. Westcoast Mill Services, LLC can fabricate parts and remanufacture a cylinder from scratch based on the original, which is often more affordable than purchasing a new one. For the past 35 years, we have carried out many successful pneumatic cylinder repairs and rebuilds that withstand extremely demanding applications.
Our Pneumatic Cylinder Repair Services
Because each repair is unique, your pneumatic cylinder repair may include all or some of these processes to restore your cylinder to its former capabilities.
Honing
Through honing, we remove burrs and surface imperfections while generating a finish pattern that promotes optimum lubrication. Our hone process produces ideal tolerances in straightness, roundness, size, and surface finishes of pneumatic cylinder bores.
Turning
Well-adjusted cushioning saves energy, reduces pneumatic cylinder cycle times and maintains piston speed. Our trained specialists will adjust cushioning screws to keep noise and vibration to a minimum for optimal cylinder performance.
Grinding
Whether it’s a repair or fabrication, we match the surface qualities of pneumatic cylinder barrels with the specifications needed for particular applications, making sure the pistons, seals, and bearings slide smoothly with sufficient strength and rigidity.
Polishing
Our experts polish damaged pneumatic cylinders, buffing out marks, burs, and surface scratches as part of the refinishing process to ensure the fluid movement of all cylinder components.
Pressure Testing
We perform pressure tests to ensure the safety, reliability, and leak tightness of pressure systems before and after air cylinder repair. Through stress testing, we make sure equipment can be safely subjected to maximum operating pressure.
Re-Chroming
As part of our air cylinder repair services, we also provide hydraulic cylinder re-chroming to improve corrosion and wear resistance, reduce friction and extend the life of components used in harsh commercial and industrial working environments.
Re-Sealing
Not only do we provide the re-sealing of pneumatic cylinder service, but we also diagnose the cause of the problem. This way the malfunction won’t reappear in the nearest future, and your equipment will be ready to work again.
