Discover our extensive expertise in building, maintaining and overhauling hydraulic cylinders. From drainage machines to offshore applications and scrap processing.
Many of our newly built machines use hydraulic cylinders. Whether it is for a drainage machine, offshore/nearshore application or somewhere within scrap processing. We encounter them everywhere and in different sizes; long, short, large diameters and small diameters.
With years of experience across these industries, we know exactly what it takes to design, build, maintain, and overhaul a reliable hydraulic cylinder. Our workshop is fully equipped with overhead cranes, test units, and in-floor pits to facilitate assembly and disassembly.
If required, we provide cylinders with a complete manufacturing dossier, including FEM analyses and buckling calculations. Do you need certification from Lloyd’s, DNV, or another Notified Body (NoBo)? No problem. Our team of professional technicians handles the entire process.
Complete hydraulic cylinder overhaul
Overhauling hydraulic cylinders is a highly developed specialty at Machinefabriek Barth. We take a comprehensive approach, inspecting not only the cylinder rod and tube but also considering material upgrades, improved seals, and enhanced guiding materials to optimize performance and durability.
Mobile honing machine
Hydraulic cylinder overhauls can be time-consuming and complex, especially for large or hard-to-dismantle cylinders. The process of removal, transportation, and reinstallation often leads to significant downtime and costs.
To address this challenge, we took the initiative to explore ways to perform on-site cylinder overhauls. The biggest obstacle? Honing operations traditionally require a machine workshop.
Machinefabriek Barth solved this problem by developing a unique mobile honing machine. After extensive testing and fine-tuning, we perfected an innovative honing process that allows us to perform precise on-site honing without removing the cylinder.
This advancement makes cylinder overhauls faster, more efficient, and cost-effective, minimizing business downtime. Our mobile honing machine is one of a kind and can be deployed anywhere.
