FAQ

FAQs
  • What’s the main advantage of Q+T rods over induction-hardened rods?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    Q+T rods like ST52 offer better core toughness and cost-efficiency. They're ideal for applications where extreme surface hardness is not required, but impact resistance and flexibility are important.
  • How does this rod perform in hydraulic systems with ISO f7 sealing?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    Thanks to precise manufacturing, our ST52 Chrome Rod ISO F7 Tolerance Q + T ensures perfect compatibility with standard hydraulic seals, minimizing wear and leakage.
  • Is this rod suitable for continuous-duty hydraulic cylinders?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    Yes. While not as hard as induction-hardened rods, it provides consistent strength and durability in medium-pressure and continuous-use environments.
  • Can I get custom dimensions and threads on the rod ends?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    Absolutely. As a ST52 Chrome Plated Rod Supplier Q + T, we support custom diameters, threaded ends, chamfers, drilled holes, and full piston rod assembly upon request.
  • What’s the ST52 Chrome Rod Price Q + T compared to CK45 or 42CrMo4?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    ST52 Q+T rods are more affordable than alloy steels like 42CrMo4 and offer better fatigue resistance than CK45. It’s the perfect mid-range choice balancing performance and price.
