E-mailFair Hill Precision Machines Custom Hydraulic Cylinder Components In-House at Its Harrisonburg Shop
Machine shop operating since 1982 builds barrels, rods, pistons, and glands on site, supporting equipment operators across Central Virginia
HARRISONBURG, Va., Sept. 18, 2026 - Fair Hill Precision repairs, rebuilds, and manufactures custom hydraulic cylinders using parts machined in its own shop. The approach allows equipment operators to restore cylinders that are obsolete, discontinued, or difficult to source through a distributor.
The company started in 1982 as a small parts machining business and added cylinder rebuilding to its services in 2010. Because the machining capability was established first, Fair Hill Precision can manufacture new barrels, rods, pistons, and glands rather than depend on supplier availability. The shop can also reverse engineer components for equipment no longer supported by its original manufacturer - a capability that distinguishes its Hydraulic Cylinder Repair & Hose Service in Harrisonburg, VA from operations that rely solely on off-the-shelf parts.
From a Single Unit to OEM Production
Fair Hill Precision takes on cylinder work at any volume, from a one-off repair to OEM manufacturing runs. The shop handles large cylinders and multi-stage cylinders of the kind used on dump trucks and heavy machinery - applications where a replacement unit is often expensive or back-ordered. Every cylinder the shop rebuilds is pressure tested and warrantied before it is returned to the customer.
Supporting the cylinder work is a CNC mill, CNC lathe, manual mills, and manual lathes, along with a large in-stock seal inventory and OEM seal kits. Keeping seals on the shelf reduces the most common source of delay in a rebuild, and in-house machining means a custom part and the cylinder it belongs to are handled under one roof.
A Full Hydraulic Shop, Not Only a Cylinder Shop
Alongside cylinder work, Fair Hill Precision makes hydraulic hoses while customers wait, sells hydraulic oil, and stocks aftermarket cylinders, pumps, motors, valves, and fittings. Emergency service is available. For customers running production lines or working against a job deadline, the Hydraulic Cylinder Repair & Hose Service in Harrisonburg, VA consolidates a repair, a replacement hose, and the fluid to refill the system at one location, removing several steps from the repair cycle.
The shop serves contractors, machinery operators, manufacturers, farmers, trucking fleets, and maintenance teams. Its published service area includes Harrisonburg, Charlottesville, Richmond, Roanoke, and Washington, DC, along with the surrounding communities.
Fair Hill Precision's experience with cylinder work also led to a sister company, Cylinder Cyclone, which supports other cylinder shops offering repair services.
