304 Stainless Steel Precision Honed Tube-Specialized for Hydraulic Cylinders, Pneumatic Cylinder Barrels and High-Precision Equipment

Honed Tube (also known as honed cylinder tube or hydraulic cylinder barrel) is a high-precision pipe material produced by using cold-drawn or hot-rolled seamless steel tubes as the base material, and performing high-speed reciprocating precision grinding on the inner wall through a honing head. The honing process utilizes a honing head composed of 4 to 6 abrasive bars (oilstones) to precisely correct the inner diameter dimensions and surface texture through rotation and reciprocating motion, eliminating microscopic defects from cold-drawn or hot-rolled pipes. Honing is not only highly efficient but also achieves very high machining accuracy, generally reaching IT5 to IT6 grade dimensional accuracy, and can correct geometric shape deviations of the hole.

Honed tubes are the core inner barrel components of hydraulic cylinders and pneumatic cylinders, featuring smooth inner walls, precise dimensions, and stable pressure resistance. They are essential materials for the manufacturing and maintenance of hydraulic cylinders in various types of hydraulic equipment. Honed tubes can serve directly as cylinder barrels in hydraulic and pneumatic systems, eliminating the need for costly secondary machining operations such as boring or reaming before assembly.

    Product Advantages

    1. Ultra-High Precision and Surface Quality

    • Inner diameter tolerance可达 H7/H8/H9 grades, ID tolerance ≤0.039mm

    • Roundness error ≤0.005mm (precision grade) to ≤0.02mm (standard grade)

    • Surface roughness Ra as low as 0.08μm (near mirror finish), far superior to ordinary steel pipes (Ra 1.6~3.2μm)

    • Straightness ≤0.3mm/m

    2. Excellent Mechanical Properties

    • Roller burnishing forms a cold-worked hardened layer, significantly increasing microhardness (HV≥400)

    • Surface residual compressive stress layer seals micro-cracks, improving fatigue strength by 30%

    • Wear resistance increased by more than 2 times, effectively extending service life of components

    3. Superior Sealing and Fluid Performance

    • Mirror-like inner wall significantly reduces fluid resistance and energy loss

    • High roundness ensures tight fit between piston/seal components, eliminating oil and gas leakage

    • Cross-hatch pattern (30°–60°) formed during honing enhances lubrication retention and sealing performance

    4. Strong Processing Compatibility

    • Wide diameter range: Φ20mm ~ Φ1500mm+

    • Supports multiple materials: carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, etc.

    • Ambient-temperature roller burnishing process avoids grinding burns, preserving original material properties
