In extreme industrial environments, where machinery is constantly exposed to contaminants such as dust, mud, acid, salinity, or silica, protecting hydraulic cylinders becomes an absolute priority to ensure operational efficiency and avoid costly downtime due to failures or unexpected maintenance.
With this in mind, at Fuelles we have developed a high-technology protection system using sleeve-type and accordion-type hydraulic cylinder protection, custom-designed to withstand the most demanding conditions without the need to disassemble the equipment during installation. This visual and instructional guide will walk you step-by-step through the installation process, ensuring proper assembly that maximizes the service life of your hydraulic cylinders.
Our mission is not only to protect components; it is to preserve productivity, reduce your maintenance costs by up to 40%, and extend the lifespan of your equipment by up to 60%. The correct use and installation of our bellows represents a smart investment to keep your machinery operating at the highest level, with minimal exposure to damage and maximum efficiency.
Sleeves
1 Open the hydraulic cylinder protection, clean the rod, and ensure it is dry and free of debris.
2 Position the hydraulic cylinder protection on the rod and stretch it to make it easier to align and close the Velcro during installation.
3 Secure the metal clamp on the rod end.
4 Secure the metal clamp to the cylinder gland.
5 Record the installation using the available methods, such as QR codes or RFID.
6 Ensure that the bellow is not twisted, keeping the control label in an accessible or visible position.
Accordion
1 Open the hydraulic cylinder protection, clean the rod, and ensure it is dry and free of debris.
2 Position the hydraulic cylinder protection on the rod and stretch it to facilitate the sliding of the zipper when closing it.
3 Fasten the plastic tie to the rod and cut off any excess.
4 Secure the buckle to the cylinder head.
5 Secure the metal clamp to the cylinder gland.
6 Ensure that the bellow is not twisted, keeping the control label in an accessible or visible position.
With the proper installation of our sleeve-type or accordion-type hydraulic cylinder protection, you take a solid step toward safer, more efficient, and longer-lasting operation. Remember that protecting your cylinder from the start not only prevents premature wear, but also optimizes every resource invested in your production processes.
