With the right support a test machine frame can last for decades. A common issue for an older system or one that is used extensively is wear on the hydraulic actuator (also referred to as the hydraulic piston or ram).
Overview
Phoenix offers refurbishment and testing services for a wide range of hydraulic actuators, suitable for any make of test machine.
Our refurbishment services include the removal and strip-down of the actuator, re-chroming piston rods, inspection of bearings and pistons.
Our services also include resealing of worn and leaking actuators. For many older systems, the seal details may not be known, but Phoenix engineers can have new seals back-engineered to fit into your system.
During the refurbishment, we can also service and repair individual components including servo valves, solid pipework, hoses and seals, and accumulators. Our expert engineers can design and manufacture replacement parts for failed components,
We also offer accumulator charging as an additional service, if needed.
The refurbished actuators are fully tested in-house above maximum pressure to ensure they are safe and reliable, and then re-installed at our customers' site.

- Rechroming
- Resealing
- Modifications to increase capacity or stroke
- Actuator upgrade to biaxial, triaxial or multiaxial systems
Modifications
We can provide modifications to your existing actuator, or increase the capacity or stroke of your actuator. Where possible, we can also install additional actuators, modifying your existing system from a uniaxial system to a biaxial, triaxial or multi-axial machine.
