Arm crowd slow or rod seal weeping on your 312C? A worn 170-9833 arm cylinder loses piston seal integrity and drops arm crowing force below what the machine needs for hard digging, while a scored rod seal leaks hydraulic oil across the cylinder head. RITO supplies this heavy-duty replacement arm cylinder to restore full 312-series arm crowd force and clean, seal-tight operation.
Item NO.:
170-9833170-9833 Hydraulic Arm Cylinder Assembly for Caterpillar 312C, 315C, 318C excavators. Heavy-duty double-acting stick cylinder with chrome-plated precision rod and a honed bore produced to OEM specification. Piston seal integrity and rod chrome finish are matched to the 312-class crowd duty cycle so the new cylinder restores original arm penetrating force from installation.

Rod chrome layer thickness and adhesion matched to 312-series OEM specification, providing the hardness and corrosion resistance that determine arm cylinder seal service life.

Bore honed to OEM surface finish and tolerance for correct piston seal contact and low internal bypass at full 312 crowd pressure.

170-9833 covers the arm cylinder specification across the listed Caterpillar 312-class models, keeping fleets on one interchangeable replacement.

Rod and piston seal assembly rated for 312 maximum stick pressure, with buffer seals that protect the primary rod seal from pressure spikes during heavy digging.

FAQ
Q: How do I tell if the 170-9833 arm cylinder has internal bypass or rod seal leakage?
A: External leakage shows at the rod seal. Internal bypass makes the arm crowd slowly under load without visible external oil. Stall the arm against a load and watch for slow drift over 60 seconds.
Q: Can I replace only the seal kit in the 170-9833 cylinder?
A: If the rod chrome is undamaged and the bore is within specification, a seal kit repair is economical. Replace the full cylinder if the rod shows pitting, score marks or chrome delamination that would cut the new seals immediately.
Q: What bleeding procedure is needed after fitting 170-9833?
A: Cycle the arm slowly through full extension and retraction five times at low engine speed before applying full load. This purges air and seats the seal assembly before high-pressure operation.
Q: How to confirm 170-9833 is correct for my 312?
A: Match the existing cylinder part number against 170-9833 and confirm the machine model is one of: 312C, 315C, 318C. Provide the machine serial number for cross-reference confirmation.
