Ever spent hours browsing catalogs only to realize none of them matched your cylinder specs? I’ve been there—and learned the hard way that not all catalogs are created equal.
A good hydraulic cylinder seal kit catalog should list kits by bore size, rod size, and seal type. It should also include clear component descriptions and cross-reference options for OEM machines.
Whether you’re a distributor, repair technician, or procurement manager, choosing the wrong catalog wastes time—and risks downtime. Let me show you what to look for and where to get it right.
What should be included in a seal kit catalog?
A proper catalog shouldn’t just list product codes. It should help you answer a simple question: “Does this seal kit fit my cylinder?”
Here’s what I always look for:
- Kit descriptions by bore and rod diameter
- Clear breakdown of seal types inside each kit
- Groove size compatibility (ISO or OEM specs)
- Material options (NBR, TPU, FKM...)
- Part number cross-references
- Visual layout or diagrams
Our own Hydraulic Seal Kit by Size page groups kits exactly this way. It's built to reduce guesswork, especially for buyers who don’t have part numbers but know the sizes.
Info You Need | Catalog Should Provide |
---|---|
Bore/Rod Size | Yes |
Groove Info | Yes |
Part No. Match | Optional |
Material Details | Yes |
Component Types | Yes (e.g. UN, KDAS, Wiper) |
We also provide PDF versions or photo-based matching, especially for custom kits.
Where can I get seal kit catalogs that match my machine?
Most global brands (like Parker, Caterpillar, or Hitachi) don’t make their catalogs public. That’s why we built our own reference system.
You can start with the following:
- Hydraulic Seal Kit by Size — For common repair kits sorted by bore/rod
- UN Seal — Most used rod seal in standard kits
- KDAS Compact Seal — Common buffer seal in double-acting kits
- How to Choose Hydraulic Seal Kits by Size? — Step-by-step selection guide
We’ve also helped dozens of importers build private label catalogs based on their country’s standard cylinder dimensions.
How do I use a catalog to find the right kit?
When I first got into seal replacement, I printed 3 different catalogs and taped them to my workshop wall. One for rod seals, one for piston seals, and one for full kits. That was too much.
Then I learned this system:
- Start by measuring your bore and rod
- Go to the section labeled "63/35" or “100/55” etc.
- See what kit components are listed
- Confirm groove match or send sample
- Choose materials based on your fluid/temp
We’ve simplified this into a 3-step system:
Step | What to Check | Where to Look |
---|---|---|
1 | Bore/Rod | Catalog section title |
2 | Seal types (UN, KDAS) | Kit breakdown |
3 | Material (TPU/NBR) | Product spec |
If it’s your first time, don’t worry. Just send us your dimensions or a photo—we’ll handle the rest.
Do all catalogs offer custom or OEM options?
No—and that’s what separates a parts list from a working catalog.
Our digital catalog supports:
- OEM cross-matching (just send part no.)
- Photo or drawing-based identification
- Custom combo kits for your local market
- PDF download or Excel sheet export
That’s how we helped a Brazilian distributor rebuild a 500-kit product line for over 20 excavator types—starting from just 4 samples.

Conclusion
Don’t waste time flipping through PDF after PDF. Start with a catalog that speaks your language: bore, rod, seal type, and speed. The rest will follow.
