This Raymond hydraulic seal seals a cylinder bore to keep pressurized fluid contained as the cylinder extends and retracts, maintaining contact with the moving rod or piston surface during lift, tilt, or steering. As a wear item, repeated flexing and friction degrade the sealing surface, and once fluid begins to bypass it under pressure the truck shows slower cylinder response, drift when holding a load, or seepage at the cylinder.
This hydraulic seal is built for Raymond lift trucks, sealing a cylinder bore to keep pressurized hydraulic fluid contained as the cylinder extends and retracts. Seals like this one sit inside the cylinder assembly, maintaining contact with the moving rod or piston surface to prevent fluid from bypassing during lift, tilt, or steering operation.
The seal measures 1.8 inches by 2.8 inches with a thin 0.6 inch profile, dimensions that point to a flat, ring-style seal sized for a specific cylinder bore rather than a generic universal fit. At just 0.15 pounds, it reflects the lightweight elastomer or polyurethane construction typical of hydraulic seals.
Because a hydraulic seal is a wear item, repeated flexing and friction against the cylinder wall gradually degrades the sealing surface, and once that happens fluid begins to bypass the seal under pressure. This typically shows up as slower cylinder response, drift when the truck is left holding a load, or visible fluid seepage around the cylinder. Replacing the seal before it fully fails helps avoid a larger cylinder rebuild. Forklifts Etc. carries this seal as a Raymond-specific replacement part.
