Hakki Pilke 1x37 easy problem

Hi,

Wonder if anyone can help. My splitting ram intermittently slows down but always returns at the normal speed!

See page 20 here, the adjuster screw might be vibrating loose, happened mine once.

Like Jon said, it's too dry!

Work started on your house yet?

blocked filter ? alot of machines clean the hyd oil on the return. You may have changed it after your flood but may find its blocked again after a few hrs use. The other thing maybe the seals on that side of the ram are shot and oil is passing to the return.

May be a silly question but where are the seals located?

Inside the ram I am assuming the 1x37 has one ram. If the seal leaks in side the ram you cant see the fluid run back. On the other hand it could be something completely different. Hopefully someone who has owned one will help. Barnsley bob and Steve Bullman had one. Do you have a workshop manual.

Spoke to M Large today and they seem to think it cant be the ram seal as the same problem would happen when the ram returns.

They think it might be the return valve that connects to the ball joint, but the valve shaft seems fine to me

Check the systems oil level, it sounds like you have air in the system.

 

Air will cause hesitation in the ram movement outward but possibly not on the return stroke because the volume occupied by the rod means you need less oil for the return stroke.
