Hydraulic Cylinder Repair
Your Trusted Partner for Hydraulic Cylinder Repair in Singapore.
Hydraulic Cylinder Repair services by OEMspore deliver fast turnaround, durable results, and reliable operation for every industry.
Hydraulic cylinder repair is the process of restoring damaged or leaking hydraulic cylinders to full working condition by disassembling, inspecting, replacing worn seals or components, and reassembling the unit to factory specifications. A proper repair not only stops leaks and restores performance but also extends cylinder lifespan and prevents costly equipment downtime.
At O.E. Manufacturing, we specialize in professional hydraulic cylinder repair in Singapore covering all types of industrial and mobile cylinders. Our technicians use precision tools and OEM-grade parts to ensure every repaired cylinder performs like new. Whether your system suffers from pressure loss, rod scoring, or seal damage, we diagnose, rebuild, and test each component for reliable long-term performance.

Our Hydraulic Cylinder Repair Process
Our Proven Repair Workflow
At O.E. Manufacturing we follow a rigorous step-by-step process to ensure your hydraulic cylinder is restored to peak condition:
Initial inspection & quote – We remove the cylinder, drain fluid, disassemble and provide a detailed condition report. (As industry sources note: draining and cleaning hydraulics is an essential first step.)
Damage assessment – We check for rod bending, seal wear, barrel scoring, corrosion or misalignment which often lead to failure.
Machining & component remedy – This may include barrel honing, rod straightening/polishing, chrome plating, welding or rebuilding of parts.
Seal replacement & re-assembly – Install new seals, wipers and other wear parts; ensure clean surfaces and precision fit.
Pressure testing & leak check – Hydrostatic or bypass testing to confirm zero leakage and correct function.
Re-installation support & preventative guidance – We help reinstall, and advise on maintenance to extend lifespan and reduce repeat repair.

Why Repair Instead of Replace?
Repair vs Replace — Make the Smart Choice
Repairing your hydraulic cylinder often offers considerable advantages: lower cost, faster turnaround, and the opportunity to retain existing installation compatibility. As one expert explains:
“Deciding whether to repair or replace a hydraulic cylinder involves more than just cost … minor repairs such as worn seals or slight rod scoring might favour a repair.”
If your cylinder structure is intact and only wear/maintenance issues remain, repair is typically the smarter, more economical route. However, if damage is extensive, e.g., bent rods beyond straightening, severely gouged barrels, we’ll advise you transparently when replacement is more practical.
