Vickers Hydraulic Cylinder Repair in Fontana
Vickers cylinders — long built into presses, machine tools, plant equipment and heavy mobile machines, and later sold under Eaton Vickers — were made for sustained pressure and hard duty. When one starts leaking past the rod, drifting under a held load or losing push, our Fontana shop rebuilds it properly: torn down and measured, barrels honed back to finish, rods repaired or manufactured new, and the finished cylinder pressure-tested before it goes back into service.

Tie-rod, mill-type and welded Vickers cylinders
Heavy cylinders fail in predictable places, and the bench checks all of them: piston seals bypassing under sustained load, rods scored where grit rides past the wiper, barrels worn where the piston dwells, and glands loosened by side load. We measure each at teardown and quote from those measurements — a reseal where seals are honestly the whole story, and rod or barrel work where they are not. That discipline is what separates a rebuild from a temporary fix.

Vickers Hydraulic Cylinder Repair in Fontana · Fontana, CAA heavy cylinder deserves a heavy bench
A mill-type Vickers cylinder is weight, pressure and tolerances — a shortcut shows up fast once it is back under load. Our bench sets clearances from measurements, fits seals matched to the cylinder's pressure and fluid, and proves the rebuild under pressure before it ships. Regular hours Monday-Friday 6 AM-5 PM; rush and emergency service runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with free quotes and free pick-up and delivery.

Frequently asked questions
Do you rebuild Eaton Vickers cylinders as well as older Vickers units?
Yes. The Vickers cylinder lines became part of Eaton, and the construction is the same family our bench rebuilds daily — tie-rod, mill-type and welded heavy-duty cylinders.
Why does my Vickers cylinder keep leaking at the rod?
Repeated rod leaks usually mean a scored or worn rod, a worn gland, or contamination riding the wiper — not just a bad seal. We inspect rod and gland at teardown and fix the cause.
