Debris and Fluid Entry Prevention Systems for Jack Cylinders
An ingress prevention system for use with pneumatic or hydraulic jack cylinders prevents debris and/or fluids from gaining access to portions of the pneumatic or hydraulic jack cylinders. The ingress prevention system includes a boot operable to retain and/or seal at least a portion of one or more jack cylinders within a boot cavity. The ingress prevention system reduces a jack cylinder's exposure to debris and/or fluids to maintain performance and prolong the operating life of the jack cylinder. The ingress prevention system further comprises at least one barrel seal operable to wipe debris and/or fluids from the surfaces of a piston rod as the piston rod reciprocates within a barrel.
