Hydraulic Cylinder Tube

From high-precision cold drawn honed tubes to cost-effective skived & roller burnished tubes and large-diameter hot rolled bored tubes, we deliver reliable solutions for every hydraulic cylinder need.

Cold Drawn Seamless Honed Tube

 
Raw Material Selection: High-quality seamless steel tubes (typically ST52, CK45, E355, etc.) are selected as the base material.
Cold Drawing: The tubes are cold drawn to reduce diameter and wall thickness, improving dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and mechanical strength.
Stress Relieving / Normalizing: After cold drawing, heat treatment is carried out to relieve internal stress and enhance material stability.
Precision Honing: The internal bore is honed using abrasive stones to achieve precise inner diameter tolerance and superior surface finish.
Deburring and Cleaning: The finished tubes are cleaned, oiled, and protected to prevent corrosion before shipment.
 

Advantages

Uniform inner diameter tolerance: H8–H9
Smooth surface finish: Ra 0.2–0.4 μm
High dimensional precision and straightness

 

Applications

Hydraulic cylinders for construction machinery (excavators, loaders).

Metallurgical machinery and mining equipment.

Hydraulic cylinders for plastic and die-casting machines.

General medium and high-pressure hydraulic systems.

Skived and Roller Burnished Tube

 
Tube Preparation: The base tube (cold drawn or hot rolled seamless steel) is pre-straightened and checked for roundness and wall uniformity.
Skiving (Internal Cutting): A specialized skiving tool cuts the internal surface layer, removing machining marks and improving dimensional consistency.
Roller Burnishing: Multiple hard rollers then compress and smooth the inner surface under high pressure, forming a mirror-like finish and work-hardened surface layer.
Surface Hardening Effect: The cold plastic deformation caused by burnishing increases surface hardness and wear resistance.
Cleaning and Anti-rust Treatment: The tubes are cleaned, oiled, and sealed for storage and transport.
 

Advantages

Cost-effective compared with seamless honed tubes.

Sufficient accuracy and smoothness for light-duty cylinders.

Available in larger diameters and lengths.

 

Applications

Light-duty hydraulic cylinders

General industrial machinery

 

Hot Rolled Seamless Bored Tube

 
Billet Heating and Piercing: High-quality round steel billets are heated and pierced into hollow shells using a hot rolling process.
Hot Rolling: The hollow billets are elongated and reduced to form hot rolled seamless tubes with high strength and toughness.
Rough Machining (Deep Hole Boring): The tube’s internal bore is machined or deep bored to achieve the required diameter and wall thickness.
Optional Heat Treatment: Quenching and tempering (Q+T) may be applied to improve mechanical performance, especially for materials like 27SiMn or ST52.
Inspection and Surface Protection: The tubes are inspected for wall thickness, concentricity, and straightness, then coated with oil for anti-corrosion protection.
 

Advantages

Suitable for large bore hydraulic cylinders.
Cost-effective in large-scale production.
Good toughness and strength.
Can be further processed by honing or roller burnishing.

 
A pplications

Large-diameter hydraulic cylinders for heavy-duty mining equipment, especially in open-pit mining machinery such as mining trucks, loaders, bulldozers, and other oversized hydraulic systems.

Application Fields of Honed Tubes

Cold Drawn Seamless Honed Tube

Cold Drawn Seamless Honed Tube​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Cold Drawn Seamless Honed Tubes are widely used in hydraulic cylinders for construction machinery, agricultural equipment, and material handling systems such as forklifts and aerial work platforms. Because of their smooth bore surface and accurate dimensional tolerance, they minimize friction between the piston seals and the inner wall, ensuring stable operation and extending the service life of hydraulic components. In addition to hydraulic cylinders, these precision seamless tubes are also applied in pneumatic cylinders, machine tools, and industrial automation equipment, where reliable performance and high accuracy are critical. Their superior strength and durability make them the preferred choice for manufacturers requiring hydraulic cylinder barrels that combine precision and cost-effectiveness.​​​​​​​
Skived and Roller Burnished Tube

Skived and Roller Burnished Tube

Skived and Roller Burnished Tubes are designed for demanding applications that require both high precision and excellent wear resistance. They are commonly used in excavators, cranes, injection molding machines, hydraulic presses, and offshore drilling rigs, where hydraulic cylinders must withstand heavy loads and continuous operation. The skiving and roller burnishing process produces a mirror-like internal surface finish, which reduces friction and improves sealing performance, making the tube especially suitable for high-pressure and high-frequency hydraulic systems. By providing low leakage rates and long service life, these SRB hydraulic tubes help improve the overall efficiency and reliability of heavy-duty machinery. For this reason, they are often considered the premium choice for OEMs and end users who need precision hydraulic cylinder barrels in critical industrial applications.​​​​​​​
 
Hot Rolled Seamless Bored Tube

Hot Rolled Seamless Bored Tube

Hot Rolled Seamless Bored Tubes are widely applied in large-diameter hydraulic cylinders for open-pit mining machinery. They are especially suitable for heavy-duty equipment including mining trucks, loaders, bulldozers, and other large-scale mining machines, where strength and toughness are more important than ultra-high precision. Compared with honed tubes and SRB tubes, bored tubes offer a more economical solution for applications that require robust performance under harsh working conditions. With excellent load-bearing capacity and adaptability to large-scale machining, these seamless bored tubes are the go-to choice for manufacturers of oversized hydraulic cylinder barrels used in heavy mining equipment. Their balance of cost-effectiveness and reliability makes them an essential material for industries where durability and strength cannot be compromised.
