This cylinder rod is a critical component of the hydraulic cylinder assembly, transmitting force from the piston to the external load, typically for bucket actuation. Manufactured to precise Volvo standards, it offers superior hardness and surface finish compared to a worn or scored rod, preventing seal damage and ensuring smooth operation. Operators may experience slow or jerky bucket movements, hydraulic fluid leaks around the cylinder, or a loss of lifting power when this rod is damaged.

Cross-reference part number with serial number before ordering to confirm fitment. Keep original parts until new ones are confirmed correct. Record part numbers replaced for future reference.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
The initial symptom of a damaged rod is often visible scoring or pitting on its surface, leading to hydraulic fluid leaks. If ignored, the leaks will worsen, and the cylinder may operate erratically or lose significant lifting capacity. This can impede work progress and potentially damage the cylinder bore and seals.
Thoroughly clean the cylinder bore and inspect the piston seals before inserting the new rod. Avoid using abrasive materials to clean the rod surface, as this can cause premature wear.
When replacing the cylinder rod, it is highly recommended to also replace the cylinder's internal seals and inspect the cylinder bore for any damage.
