Carbon Steel Chrome Plated Hydraulic Tube
OEM Precision Hydraulic Cylinder Tube | EN 10305-1 Certified Manufacturing.
Product Overview
Carbon Steel Chrome Plated Hydraulic Tube is a precision seamless steel tube designed for hydraulic cylinder systems requiring high fatigue resistance, stable sealing performance, and long-term dimensional consistency.
Manufactured from controlled carbon steel grades such as CK45, ST52, SAE1020, and SAE1045, the tube undergoes:
• Cold drawing for dimensional precision.
• Stress-relief heat treatment for structural stability.
• Precision honing or skiving & roller burnishing.
• Hard chrome plating for wear and corrosion resistance.
This manufacturing system ensures stable performance in high-pressure hydraulic environments where micro-level deviations may lead to leakage, seal failure, or system inefficiency.
Engineering Performance Logic
Dimensional Stability Ensures Seal Reliability
Hydraulic cylinder sealing performance depends directly on dimensional consistency.
• Excess clearance → hydraulic leakage
• Ovality deviation → uneven seal wear
• Stable ISO f7 / H8 tolerance → long-term sealing performance
All tubes are manufactured under EN 10305-1 precision control system, ensuring repeatable accuracy across production batches.
Surface Roughness Controls System Lifetime
Internal surface condition directly impacts:
• Seal friction
• Heat generation
• Hydraulic pressure stability
• Wear rate
Controlled specifications:
• Inner surface: Ra ≤ 0.2 μm
• Outer surface: Ra ≤ 0.4 μm
Lower surface roughness reduces micro-abrasion, extending seal life and improving hydraulic efficiency.
Hard Chrome Layer Improves Wear Resistance
Hard chrome plating provides:
• Hardness: 850–1100 HV
• Excellent wear resistance under reciprocating motion
• Corrosion protection in humid / outdoor environments
• Stable low-friction surface for piston movement
