Product Overview

Precision cold drawn seamless steel tubes for hydraulic cylinder barrels, matched grade by grade to the working pressure of the cylinder. SAE 1020 and C45 give cost-effective machinability for low-pressure light-duty general machinery; 28Mn6 (EN) and 27SiMn balance strength, toughness and weldability for forklift, crane and medium-pressure injection-moulding cylinders; 34CrMo4 and 42CrMo4 offer hardenability and fatigue resistance for mining, metallurgy and ultra-high-pressure duty; S355JR and A572 Gr50 HSLA cover general heavy-load cylinders in construction and agricultural machinery.

Specifications and Standards

Sizes run from 50x32 mm to 100x80 mm (OD x ID). Inner diameter tolerance is held within ±0.02 mm and bore roughness within Ra within 0.2 um, with NAS 7-8 cleanliness so servo valves are not contaminated in service. Tubes are cold drawn and supplied high-tensile seamless, compliant with ASTM and EN standards.

Applications

Excavators and heavy cranes operating at pressures up to 42 MPa, where high-precision tubes keep the cylinder leak-free under extreme shock loads - in a leading construction-machinery OEM programme the leakage rate fell by 67 percent and MTBF rose from 1,200 to 2,100 hours. In injection moulding and hydraulic presses the same uniformity supports micron-level position control, with ultra-high cleanliness protecting sensitive servo valves.
