– Use only tools suited to the task and be sure to use the tools
correctly. Using damaged, low quality, faulty, makeshift tools
or improper use of the tools could cause serious personal
injury.
Fig. 2-4
2.2.5 PERSONNEL
– Assembly, commissioning and operation, disassembly, service (including maintenance and repair) require
basic mechanical, electrical and hydraulic knowledge, as well as knowledge of the appropriate technical
terms.
In order to ensure safety, these activities may therefore only be carried out by qualified technical personnel or
an instructed person under the direction and supervision of qualified personnel.
– Qualified personnel are those who can recognize possible hazards and institute the appropriate safety mea-
sures due to their professional training, knowledge, and experience, as well as their understanding of the rele-
vant conditions pertaining to the work to be done.
– Qualified personnel must observe the rules relevant to the subject area.
– Do not weld or use a cutting torch to cut any pipe or tubes that contain flammable liquids.
– Determine well ventilated areas for storing oil and fuel. Keep the oil and fuel in the determined place and do
not allow un authorised persons to enter.
– Before carrying out grinding or welding work on the machine, remove any flammable materials.
– Fire coming from electrical wiring
Short circuits in the electrical system can cause fire. To prevent fire, always observe the following:
– Keep all electrical connections clean and securely tightened.
– Check the wiring for looseness or damage. Tighten any loose connectors or wiring clamps. Repair or
replace any damaged wiring.
– Fire coming from piping
Check that all hose and tube clamps, guards, and cushions are securely fixed in position.
If they are loose, they may vibrate during operation and rub against other parts. There is a danger that this
may lead to damage to the hoses and cause high pressure oil to spurt out, leading to fire, personal injury, or
death.

4 HYDRAULIC CYLINDER
REPAIR
NOTE! In addition to the provisions listed here, full compliance with general safety regulations in chapter
"Safety" is required.
4.1 GENERAL
The procedures in this chapter are general workshop repair procedures for all KOMATSU attachment hydraulic
cylinders for the machines PC3000 up to PC8000 with design state 4 and 5.
NOTE! Make sure that the correct parts are used at any repair work. Parts as bolts, washers, and nuts, etc.
must eventually be from a special material because they are used in special environmental. These
parts must be for example
• of a cold weather design or
• sea water proof...
Always use the parts catalogue page for the hydraulic cylinder, refer to the corresponding Part No. in
Table 3-1 on page 3-3!
Design state 4
Hydraulic Cylinders in design state 4 are equipped with the NOK-3 sealing system, the CHEVRON® V-ring sealing
system, or the compact sealing system (hydraulic cylinders for PC5500 clam only).
The hydraulic cylinder designs follow previous design states which can also be found in the previous edition of the
Cylinder Reman Manual REM_CYL 0213-GB-1.
Design state 5
Hydraulic Cylinders in design state 5 are generally equipped either with the NOK-3 sealing system or with the
CHESTERTON® 11KE sealing system.
Additionally all hydraulic cylinders have standardized cylinder heads which are no longer subject to oversize
remanufacturing. As a consequence the seat in the cylinder is different from previous design states.
A new oversizing system was invented by KOMATSU. In a certificated REMAN-shop hydraulic cylinders are now
remanufactured and honed up to a larger cylinder bore Ø in three tiers, depending on the original cylinder bore Ø.
In order to simplify stock-keeping all oversized parts as well as the original parts are standardized and may be re-
used when remanufacturing a hydraulic cylinder. No custom made parts are required, refer to the following table:
Oversize [mm]
Cyl. bore
Ø [mm] Tier Tier Tier Tier Tier Tier Tier Tier Tier Tier Tier Tier
1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3

For the CHESTERTON® 11KE sealing system two sealing sizes are available, original size and oversize:
– The original size sealing kit is used with the original cylinder bore diameters and tier 1 oversize diameters.
– The oversize sealing kit is used with the tier 2 and tier 3 oversize diameters.

NOTICE
RISK TO DAMAGE PISTON ROD SURFACE!
The chrome surface on the piston rod may get damaged by
tools when removing the cylinder head mounting bolts. This
will cause leakage at the assembled hydraulic cylinder.
WARNING
HAZARD FROM FAULTY DISASSEMBLING OF CYLINDER HEADS!
Energy is stored in compressed air which will result in abrupt straight movement of the piston rod. This
may cause serious injuries or death.
5. Extract the cylinder head (Fig. 4-2, Pos. 2) out of the cylinder using two push-out bolts (M12) in the threads in
the cylinder head.
REMARKS: Heavily deformed cylinder heads can not be extracted from the cylinder any more. In that case the
complete hydraulic cylinder assembly must be replaced.

DANGER
FROSTBITE FROM LIQUID NITROGEN!
Serious injuries caused by cryogenic burns or frostbite will result when it comes in contact with unpro-
tected skin. As liquid nitrogen evaporates it will reduce the oxygen concentration in the air and might act
as an asphyxiant in confined spaces.
Wear Personal Protective Equipment (protective gloves, shoes, and a face shield) to avoid caused by
cryogenic burns or frostbite
Always work in well vented areas to avoid asphyxia.
Follow the safety instructions given in the PARTS & SERVICE NEWS "AH11511" latest edition.

22. Put each new wear ring into the cylinder bore and check the space between the wear ring’s ends, refer to
section 4.5.1 on page 4-26. Remove the wear ring from the cylinder bore after checking.
NOTE! All hydraulic cylinders should be assembled in a secured vertical position with the piston rod facing
upwards.
It is recommended to put the hydraulic cylinder into a pit in the workshop floor in which the hydraulic
cylinder can be appropriately secured.
23. For assembly move and place the cylinder into a secured vertical position using the crane refer to
section 4.1.2 on page 4-4.
25. Move the cylinder head against the piston and attach the piston rod assembly to a crane.
DANGER
CRUSHING HAZARD FROM FLOATING LOADS!
Death or serious injury will result due to crushing by swinging or downfalling of heavy machine parts.
When moving machine parts using a crane, make sure that nobody steps below or in close range to the
lifted machine part.
26. Lift the piston rod assembly (with assembled piston and cylinder head) and position it over the cylinder.
DANGER
HAZARD OF SQUEEZING AND SHEARING!
Will result in serious injury to hands and fingers from squeezing and sharing due to violent pressure from
sliding parts.
Align the parts with great caution. Never put hands through or into the bushings when aligning parts.
27. Carefully align piston and cylinder using a crane and insert the piston into the cylinder.
Stop just before the lower groove for the guide strip in the piston enters the chamfer in the cylinder bore.
NOTICE
RISK TO SHARE OFF SEALS!
Damages to the wear rings and guide strips may result if the
open ends of the rings are within the oil port openings in the
cylinder.
28. Insert the new guide strip (Fig. 4-25, Pos. 1) into the lower
groove of the piston.
29. Check the space between the guide strip’s open ends, refer
to section 4.5.2 on page 4-27.
30. Continue to slide the piston rod assembly (Fig. 4-25, Pos. 4)
carefully into the cylinder (Fig. 4-25, Pos. 5) while installing
the wear rings (Fig. 4-25, Pos. 2) one after another in a 180°
offset.
31. Install a new guide strip (Fig. 4-25, Pos. 3) into the top groove
of the piston.
32. Check the space between the guide strip’s open ends, refer
to section 4.5.2 on page 4-27.
33. Continue to slide the piston rod assembly carefully into the
cylinder. Fig. 4-25
34. Align the cylinder head (Fig. 4-26, Pos. 2) to the cylinder
bore. Assure that the bores in the cylinder head match the
threads in the cylinder.
35. Apply small quantities of MPG (or roller bearing grease) to the
threads of the mounting bolts (Fig. 4-26, Pos. 1).
36. Continue to slide the piston rod assembly (Fig. 4-26, Pos. 3)
into the cylinder. While doing so apply pressure to the cylinder
head until it is fully home.
Fig. 4-26
REMARKS: Let the piston rod extracted to keep access to the
mounting bolts.
NOTICE
RISK TO DAMAGE THE PISTON ROD SURFACE!
The chrome surface on the piston rod may get damaged by tools when installing the cylinder head mount-
ing bolts. This will cause leakage at the assembled cylinder.
Put a protecting sleeve on the piston rod to avoid damages in the chrome surface of the piston rod before
inserting the bolts.
37. Insert the bolts (Fig. 4-26, Pos. 1). and tighten the bolts crosswise to the specified torque (standard).
38. Cap the hydraulic oil ports at the hydraulic cylinder with blind plugs to avoid contamination.
39. Perform a leakage test at the assembled hydraulic cylinder, refer to section 4.7.1 on page 4-41.
1. Remove the blind plugs from the hydraulic oil ports of the
hydraulic cylinder. Then connect a hydraulic test bench to
both ports according to Fig. 4-27.
WARNING
HAZARD FROM JERKY CYLINDER MOVEMENT!
May result in personal injury due to slightly jerky movements
of the cylinder when it is operated. The jerky movements are
caused by the air in the cylinder which is compressible.
2. Extend and retract the cylinder slowly 8...10 times to the end
positions to bleed air from the cylinder.
Fig. 4-27
3. Fully extend the cylinder with 50°C warm hydraulic oil and
apply 415 bar.
4. Close both ports and check if the pressure increases at the cylinder’s piston rod side over a 5 minute time peri-
ode.
If the pressure increases the cylinder has an internal leakage.
REMARKS: The pressure at the cylinder’s piston side decreases while the hydraulic oil in the cylinder is cooling
down.
5. Fully retract the cylinder with 50°C warm hydraulic oil and apply 415 bar.
7. Visually check if the cylinder shows any leakage at the cylinder head.
8. Check if the pressure increases at the piston side over a 5 minute time period.
If the pressure increases the cylinder has an internal leakage.
REMARKS: The pressure at the cylinder’s rod side decreases while the hydraulic oil in the cylinder is cooling
down. This will happen slightly faster than at the other side because of the smaller amount of hydrau-
lic oil.
12. Cap the hydraulic oil ports at the hydraulic cylinder with blind plugs to avoid contamination.
