CB HYMAC: Your Hydraulic Pump and Motor Rebuilders
With important work to do and limited resources, you can’t waste time and money on broken hydraulic pumps. That’s why the experts at CB HYMAC work tirelessly to provide you with affordable, around-the-clock hydraulic repair to a number of different products.
3 Categories of Hydraulic Products
Thanks to modern technology, you can save on operational expenses and reduce downtime when you opt to repair your hydraulic component rather than replace it. However, repairing units involves more than just cleaning, flushing, regrinding, and reassembling the parts. Each hydraulic component is different and requires a unique approach for an effective result.
Hydraulic systems can be split into three different categories that require specialized repair approaches:
- Dynamic Products: A dynamic product is one that needs continuous functionality like a hydraulic pump. Because hydraulic pumps need to run non-stop — even at idle speed — it’s more common for its components to experience wear and tear, especially in the mating parts. These often need to be replaced or repaired more often than other hydraulic equipment. The lifespan of a dynamic product like a hydraulic pump and its components depends on its duty cycle, design, and typical application.
- Intermittent Dynamic: The opposite of a dynamic product, an intermittent dynamic unit is not required to constantly run in the system. The most common examples of an intermittent product include hydraulic motors, direction valves, and servo proportional valves. When not in use, these intermittent dynamic products are lowly idling or not operational. Intermittent dynamic units — due to their lower functionality requirements — do not wear and break as quickly as dynamic products.
- Static Hydraulic: Pressure, flow, sequence, and check valves are the most common examples of a static hydraulic component. These items have internal functions that work in an open-and-close function which has little operational wear and tear and has a longer lifespan than both intermittent dynamic and dynamic products.
Repair, Rebuild or Remanufacture?
When you have a hydraulic product that unexpectedly breaks, you have to determine whether repairing, rebuilding, or remanufacturing is the most practical and economical solution for the best short and long-term results and equipment performance. To decide which approach is best for your situation, it’s best to understand the definition and expectations associated with each approach.
- Repairing: With repairs, a technician is simply attempting to restore the condition of an old or failed part so it performs close to its original version. The most effective repairs are performed on pumps, motors, valves, and controls. For other equipment, repairs will likely not restore full, peak functionality.
- Rebuilding: During a rebuilding process, damaged, inefficient parts are identified. From there, the entire component is fully dismantled then put back together with new or remanufactured parts. Once a hydraulic component has been rebuilt, it undergoes a thorough testing process and meets the specific requirements of newly built equipment. Hydraulic pumps and motors are ideal candidates for rebuilding procedures.
- Remanufacturing: The remanufacturing process is divided into two different processes — manufacturing the existing core or reverse engineering. When working with the existing core, original parts are reworked to attempt restoring them to their original condition, then rebuilt on to the core. Improved, or reverse engineering, components are new and rebuilding components based on the dimensions of the original part.
