Precision Seamless Steel Honed Tubes: The Foundation of High-Performance Hydraulic Systems
As a specialized manufacturer of hydraulic components, we present our seamless steel honed tube as the cornerstone of reliable and efficient hydraulic systems. Engineered to exceed industrial demands, the seamless steel honed tube combines superior material integrity with advanced manufacturing processes to deliver unparalleled performance in high-pressure environments. Unlike welded alternatives, the seamless steel honed tube is crafted from solid billets, eliminating seams and weak points to ensure uniform stress distribution and leak-free operation.
Through precision honing, the internal surface achieves a micro-smooth finish (typically Ra ≤ 0.4 μm), optimizing compatibility with pistons and seals while minimizing friction and wear . Available in diameters ranging from 30 mm to 480 mm and lengths of 6–12 meters, our seamless steel honed tube is tailored to meet the rigorous standards of global industries, including DIN 2391 and ISO 9001 certifications .
Technical Superiority and Key Advantages
Exceptional Structural Integrity: The seamless construction of the seamless steel honed tube ensures homogeneous grain flow, enhancing its ability to withstand high-pressure cycles (up to 300 bar) and dynamic loads without deformation . Cold-drawing and heat treatments (e.g., stress relieving or normalizing) further refine mechanical properties, yielding tensile strengths of 490–630 MPa and superior fatigue resistance .
Precision-Grade Surface Quality: The honing process imparts a cross-hatched internal topography to the seamless steel honed tube, which promotes optimal lubricant retention and contaminant management . This refined surface (achieving roughness values of Ra 0.2–0.4 μm) reduces break-in periods for seals, minimizes internal leakage, and extends the operational lifespan of hydraulic components .
Dimensional Accuracy and Adaptability: With tolerances adhering to ISO H8/H9 standards and straightness maintained within 0.5/1000 mm, the seamless steel honed tube guarantees seamless integration with piston assemblies . Customization options include non-standard diameters, wall thicknesses (5–70 mm), and material grades, ensuring adaptability to unique application requirements .
Corrosion and Wear Resistance: Manufactured from high-grade steels like ST52 or alloy equivalents, the seamless steel honed tube inherently resists environmental degradation . Supplemental treatments, such as anti-rust oiling or phosphating, can be applied for use in corrosive environments like marine or mining operations .
