Repair and Packing Products for Hydraulic and Traction Elevators
May 1, 2015
Texacone offers an array of equipment, as well as a cylinder head reference guide, for technicians.
Texacone is located in Mesquite, Texas, where its products are manufactured for international distribution. Texacone has been in business for more than 80 years and offers a comprehensive lineup of packing and seals for the elevator industry. During that time, it has also developed:
Sanding Sleeve for Damaged Pistons
This is a tool that refinishes hydraulic plungers that are scratched or rusted or have developed wavy finishes – factors that can result in a shorter seal life and excessive leaking. Texacone states the Sanding Sleeve “refinishes the plunger to a factory-like finish for optimal ride performance.” The sleeve bolts to existing head hardware and is clamped around the plunger. Once relined, it is reusable.
Packing Replacement Kit
A complete set of tools that assists field technicians to quickly replace and install seal components in hydraulic cylinders or traction machines, this tool set is designed to prevent damage to precision equipment and seal components. Detailed instructions are included.
Cylinder Head Reference Guide
The Technician’s Reference Guide – Head ID Handbook helps technicians identify hydraulic cylinder heads. It includes more than 160 illustrations and helpful hints about identifying obscure jacks.
Sure Fill Repair Kit for Heavily Scored Pistons
This kit has the tools to repair badly scored pistons, rough joints and deep scratches on all plunger sizes. An acetylene torch is recommended for its use.
Cylinder Aligning System
This system aligns cylinder casings up to 90 ft. long and detects doglegged cylinders. The tool mounts on the cylinder casing. www.texacone.com
