Abstract A sleeve assembly for sanding, rust removing, and pit filling on a piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder or the like includes a sanding component, a rust removing component and a pit filling component. The sanding component comprises a rigid annular outer member, a resilient annular intermediate member adhesively secured to the inner surface of the outer member, and an abrasive annular inner member adhesively secured to the inner surface of the intermediate member and in interference contact with the piston rod. The rust component comprises an annular upper ring member composed of a rigid material and an elastomeric annular lower ring member having brass or bronze particles imbedded therein. The pit filling component comprises an annular upper ring composed of a rigid material and an elastomeric annular lower ring member having lead particles imbedded therein. Clamp means releasably engages the members of each of the components about the piston rod.
A sleeve assembly for filling pits and scratches on a piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder of the like having a stuffing box, which comprises: (a) an annular upper ring member comprised of a rigid material and including first and second sections, the sections each having at least one aperture; (b) an annular lower ring member comprised of a resilient material with lead particles imbedded therein and positioned between the upper ring member and a stuffing box which admits the hydraulic piston rod therethrough, the lower ring member having a void which permits the lower ring member to open and encircle the piston rod; (c) retaining means for retaining the upper ring member to the stuffing box, the retaining means having a first coupling end portion releasably insertable in the apertures of the upper ring member sections and having a second coupling end portion releasably retained at the stuffing box; (d) first clamp means for releasably engaging the first and second sections of the upper ring member to each other and in surrounding relationship with the piston rod; and (e) second clamp means for releasably retaining the lower ring member in interference contact with the piston rod.
