What are the technical specialisms of Nicol and Andrew Hydraulics?

Linishing

N&A Hydraulics can salvage existing chromed rods if surface damage is minimal. Our multi-stage machine linishing process uses progressively finer abrasive belts to refine texture and uniformity without compromising the minimum chrome layer thickness. This method effectively removes light scoring, mechanical damage, and glazing from rod seals.

Screw Cutting of Honed Tubes

New replacement cylinder hone bore tube, the process is creating the seal landing, threading, and chamfering to suit the existing cylinder front rod seal carrier housing (Gland). This is a cost saving for the client as we euse/recycle the clients existing front gland parts rather than manufacturing/replacing.

Manual Threading Creation

New replacement cylinder rod, the process is creating the seal landing, threading, and chamfering to suit the existing cylinder piston.  This video is creating the thread base dimension and seal lead in and then the video is starting the thread cutting process to match the existing piston.

Boring Rod Eye

The process is boring and sleeving a cylinder rod eye to accept a new spherical bearing due to excessive wear/damage. We bore out the material and shrink fit a machined sleeve to the oversized bore then press fit a spherical bearing and install circlips to save the cylinder rod which has no damage to the chrome finish.
