Bored Tube

What is a Bored Tube?

A Bored Tube is a type of seamless steel tube that has been internally machined (bored) to achieve a precise internal diameter and smooth surface finish. It is mainly used as the cylinder barrel for heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders, especially in large equipment such as excavators, loaders, bulldozers, mining trucks, and marine machinery.

What are the advantages of using a Bored Tube?

High strength and toughness, suitable for heavy-duty hydraulic systems.

Excellent roundness and straightness after boring, ensuring smooth piston movement.

Outstanding weldability and machinability, allowing for custom processing.

Cost-effective solution compared to honed tubes when ultra-high precision is not required.

Long service life and reliable performance under harsh working conditions.

What materials are commonly used for Bored Tubes?

Typical materials include ST52, 27SiMn, and Q355D. These grades provide superior mechanical strength, impact resistance, and good machinability, making them ideal for large-diameter hydraulic cylinders and mining equipment.

What are the main technical specifications of a Bored Tube?

Inner diameter range: 80 mm – 800 mm (customizable).

Wall thickness: up to 100 mm depending on design requirements.

Length: up to 15 meters per piece.

Surface roughness: Ra ≤ 3.2 μm (before honing).

Straightness tolerance: ≤ 0.3 mm/1000 mm.
EAST AI can provide further machining such as honing, skiving, and roller burnishing according to your hydraulic cylinder needs.

How does a Bored Tube differ from a Honed Tube?

A Bored Tube is rough-machined with an internal boring process, while a Honed Tube is further processed through honing or skiving & roller burnishing to achieve a mirror-like surface finish. Bored Tubes are ideal for large hydraulic cylinders where structural strength is more important than ultra-fine internal finish.

What industries use Bored Tubes?

Bored Tubes are widely used in construction, mining, metallurgical, marine, and heavy machinery applications. They are suitable for equipment such as mining dump trucks, offshore drilling platforms, hydraulic presses, and large loaders.

Can EAST AI customize Bored Tubes?

Yes. EAST AI provides customized boring services based on specific requirements, including different materials, wall thicknesses, diameters, and mechanical properties. We also support heat treatment (Q+T), internal honing, and chrome plating upon request.

How does EAST AI ensure quality in Bored Tube production?

EAST AI performs strict raw material selection, ultrasonic testing, precision boring, and full-dimensional inspection. Each tube is checked for straightness, roundness, and internal finish to ensure it meets international hydraulic standards. Our factory is GL-certified (Approval of Material Manufacturers), ensuring consistent quality and reliability.
