This assembly constitutes a collection of components designed to restore the sealing integrity of hydraulic cylinders found within Maxon liftgates. These cylinders are crucial for the operation of the liftgate, providing the force necessary for raising and lowering platforms or doors. The assembly typically includes O-rings, U-cups, wipers, and backup rings, all manufactured to specific dimensions and material properties to ensure compatibility and effective sealing within the cylinder housing.
The proper functioning of the hydraulic cylinders is paramount to the reliable and safe operation of the liftgate. Deteriorated or damaged seals can lead to hydraulic fluid leakage, resulting in reduced lifting capacity, erratic operation, and potential safety hazards. Replacing the worn seals with a purpose-built assembly ensures optimal performance, minimizes downtime, and extends the lifespan of the liftgate system. Historically, periodic replacement of these components has proven a more cost-effective approach than replacing the entire cylinder assembly.
