Radial squeezing force up to 15,000 lbs ensuring positive bead expansion on wheels
Simultaneous seating of inner and outer beads on large tubeless tire rims
Suitable for heavy earthmover, wheel loader, mining truck, and grader tires
Reinforced high-tensile belt strap fitted with rapid adjustment ratchet locking

Tuxco Corporation background and American manufacturing traditions

Established in 1945 in Chicago by Oscar C. Blomgren Sr. and Carrie Elizabeth Blomgren, Tuxco Corporation progressed from a regional machining operation into a worldwide leader in specialized hydraulic cylinder rebuilding equipment.

The foundational engineering insight of its founder, who directed mechanical maintenance programs for the US military, established a benchmark for structural durability across all shop machines.

In 1975, the company secured patent protection for its groundbreaking HCS series hydraulic cylinder servicer, redefining safety and throughput for heavy earthmoving cylinder overhauls.

Following the commissioning of its advanced manufacturing plant in Gurnee, Illinois in 1983, Tuxco has delivered more than 1,700 industrial machines operating reliably across 107 nations spanning all populated continents.

Engineering architecture of HCS heavy cylinder rebuilding benches

Tuxco HCS benches are engineered for safe removal of stubborn threaded gland rings, torquing of piston retaining nuts, and controlled rod pulling without component binding or workshop hazards.

The high-torque hydraulic head delivers controlled torque output from 25,000 to 60,000 lb-ft (up to 81,350 Nm), dislodging seized components locked with heavy thread-locking compounds with ease.

The massive box-section welded bedway with precision machined rails accommodates cylinders up to 11 meters in overall length and 812 mm outer barrel diameter.

A dedicated hydraulic carriage with up to 13.6 metric tons of linear pulling effort extracts long piston assemblies smoothly along the centerline axis, eliminating bore scuffing and protecting polished surfaces.

Proof-testing methodologies on HCT-3000 hydraulic test stations

The Tuxco HCT-3000 testing station performs thorough hydrostatic and dynamic evaluations of overhauled cylinders following seal replacement or tube honing.

Generating hydraulic pressures up to 350 bar (5000 PSI), the equipment allows technicians to detect microscopic metal fatigue cracks, rod seal seepage, and internal fluid bypass between piston chambers prior to equipment installation.

The testing system features vibration-dampened pressure gauges and sensitive flow transducers monitoring internal leakage rates.

Integrated directional control valves allow cycling the cylinder assembly across full extension and retraction strokes under load, providing verifiable confirmation of hydraulic integrity before components return to tough industrial duty.

High-pressure barrel bore decontamination via CBW-300 systems

Residual honing sludge and metallic grit generated during tube refinishing operations represent the primary cause of premature wear in replacement polyurethane seals and precision hydraulic valves.

The Tuxco CBW-300 washing system delivers thorough cleaning of internal cylinder tube bores utilizing pressurized fluid sprays before final component assembly proceeds.

A motor-driven spray wand carrying multi-directional rotating nozzles travels back and forth along the full bore length, flushing out embedded particulate and oily contaminants.

The recirculated wash solution passes through magnetic separators and multi-stage filter cartridges rated down to 10 micrometers, providing clean tube internal surfaces ready for piston installation.

HEPP portable pin pressing equipment for crawler undercarriages

For rapid undercarriage maintenance on crawler excavators, bulldozers, and drilling rigs, Tuxco joined forces with HEMS Limited to introduce HEPP portable hydraulic track presses.

These compact tooling rigs deliver 70, 100, and 150 metric tons of ram force, enabling safe extraction and insertion of master pins, track bushings, and link assemblies without resorting to torch heating.

The high-strength alloy bridge frame mounts easily onto track assemblies directly on the dirt in quarry or mining locations.

Tooling kits include precision adapter bushings tailored to common heavy machinery track pitches, driven smoothly by choice of electric, air-hydraulic, or portable combustion engine power packs.

Dedicated workshop tooling for cylinder gland rings and piston rods

Removing stubborn threaded gland rings with radial drive holes or peripheral notches presents high risks of tool slippage and costly gouging of chrome rod plating.

The Tuxco RGS-325 rod-guided spanner wrench utilizes a tubular body with an internal bushing that glides along the rod outer diameter, keeping drive pins aligned squarely with gland slots under heavy rotational force.

The specialized maintenance tool range also includes TC-28 hydraulic tire constrictors applying up to 15,000 lbs of radial squeezing force to seat beads evenly on large off-the-road tubeless wheel rims.

For aircraft ground support, Tuxco manufactures AF-5 fluid servicing units that isolate sensitive hydraulic fluid from ambient moisture during brake circuit servicing.
