Bushing: The Overlooked Core of the Hydraulic Cylinder – The Key to Solving Oil Leaks and Wear
2025-10-21
Is your excavator frequently leaking oil? Does the problem persist even after replacing the entire seal repair kit? Perhaps the root cause isn't the seals themselves, but lies in a crucial yet often overlooked small component – the Bushing.
Though inconspicuous, it acts as the "Invisible Guardian" of the hydraulic cylinder, directly determining the equipment's efficiency and service life.
Why is the Bushing So Important?
The Bushing (or Guide Ring / Bearing), located inside the cylinder head, plays these core roles:
Precise Guidance: Provides stable support for the piston rod, accurately controlling its movement and preventing radial runout.
Eliminates Metal-on-Metal Contact: Effectively separates the piston rod from the metal cylinder head, preventing direct metal-to-metal contact and friction.
Protects the Seals: By stabilizing the piston rod and absorbing lateral forces, it creates a stable working environment for the oil seals, helping to prevent abnormal wear and leaks caused by vibration at the source.
Simply put, without a high-quality bushing, even the best seals cannot last long, effectively cutting equipment lifespan in half!
Choices of Excellence: Two Top-Tier Bushing Brands
To meet different customer needs for quality and value, we offer two proven top-tier bushing solutions, validated in global and domestic markets.
1. Japan Daido Bushing: The Global Choice, A Mark of Quality
Industry Benchmark: Designated as the "official choice" by many leading global hydraulic cylinder manufacturers, synonymous with reliability and durability.
Mark of Quality: Each product features precision laser marking on the outer circumference. This isn't just an identifier; it's a promise of superior quality and consistency. The market's highest praise sums it up: "Its effectiveness is undeniable!"
2. China Changsheng CSB: A Leading Light in Domestic Manufacturing
Changsheng CSB has become a point of national pride through its outstanding technology and performance, making it the preferred alternative for domestic replacement.
High Precision & Wear Resistance: Utilizes advanced materials and processes to achieve exceptional dimensional accuracy and wear resistance, effectively controlling piston rod radial runout and significantly reducing overall equipment wear rates.
Maintenance-Free Design: A core selling point. Its self-lubricating properties enable long-lasting, smooth operation without requiring additional lubrication, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
Proven in the Market: The specified choice for hydraulic cylinders in major domestic construction machinery brands like Sany, XCMG, and Liugong. Its title as the "Invisible Guardian of the Hydraulic Cylinder" is well-deserved.

Revolutionizing Excavator Maintenance: The Science Behind Next-Generation Oil Seals
2025-10-15
For excavator owners and repair shops, recurring oil seal failures are a major source of downtime and expense. The solution lies not in more frequent replacements, but in superior engineering.
Advanced seal kits are now designed to directly address the root causes of leakage. Their enhanced performance stems from two key features:
Advanced Materials: Utilizing imported, high-grade polymers, these seals resist heat, abrasion, and chemical degradation far better than standard nitrile rubber. This material science is the reason behind a documented 3x longer service life, reducing replacement frequency and fluid loss.
Precision Fit: Engineered to meet exact OEM specifications, these seals guarantee a perfect fit for your model. This eliminates the micro-movement and improper sealing that cause new seals to fail prematurely.
The result is a direct boost to your bottom line: less unplanned downtime, lower repair costs, and improved machine reliability.
Stop repairing and start working. To find the perfect seal kit for your excavator model, follow us and comment with your model number below. Our team will match you with a solution that lasts.

Introduction to Three Primary NOK Rod Seals for Hydraulic Cylinders
2025-10-13
NOK Corporation, a leading Japanese seal manufacturer, is renowned for its high-performance and reliable hydraulic components. Among its extensive product line, certain rod seals stand out as industry standards for durability and performance. Below is an introduction to three of the most frequently specified NOK rod seals.
1. NOK S-Type Rod Seal (Standard Duty)
The NOK S-Type is a versatile and widely used rod seal, designed for general hydraulic applications. It is characterized by its single-acting lip seal design, which provides excellent sealing performance and low friction.
Material: Typically made from Nitrile Rubber (NBR) or Polyurethane (AU).
Temperature Range: Approximately -30°C to +100°C (NBR) / -20°C to +110°C (AU).
Pressure Range: Suitable for working pressures up to 40 MPa.
Key Features & Application:
Offers excellent resistance to wear and extrusion.
Ideal for a broad range of industrial machinery, construction equipment, and machine tools.
A reliable, cost-effective solution for standard hydraulic cylinders.
2. NOK DKB Series Rod Seal (Heavy Duty & High Pressure)
The NOK DKB seal is a heavy-duty, single-acting rod seal engineered for demanding applications with high pressure and potential pressure shocks. Its robust design includes an integrated anti-extrusion ring for superior performance.
Material: The sealing element is typically made of Polyurethane (AU).
Temperature Range: Standard range from -20°C to +110°C.
Pressure Range: Capable of handling very high pressures, often up to 60 MPa or more.
Key Features & Application:
Excellent resistance to high pressure and extrusion, thanks to its reinforced design.
Superior stability under pulsating pressure conditions.
Primarily used in heavy construction machinery like excavators, presses, and other high-pressure hydraulic systems.
3. NOK U-Type Packing (General Purpose U-Ring)
The NOK U-Packing is a classic, double-acting seal suitable for both rod and piston applications. Its simple U-shaped design allows for effective sealing in two directions, making it a versatile choice.
