Our Hydraulic Cylinder Tubes (CDW) are produced according to EN 10305-2 E355, using high-quality welded steel pipes that are further cold drawn to improve accuracy, surface finish, and mechanical properties.
Our Hydraulic Cylinder Tubes (CDW) are produced according to EN 10305-2 E355, using high-quality welded steel pipes that are further cold drawn to improve accuracy, surface finish, and mechanical properties.
These tubes are widely used for:
·Hydraulic cylinders in industrial and mobile equipment
·Construction and agricultural machinery
·Automotive hydraulic systems
·Any application requiring precision honing or SRB finishing
Compared with seamless tubes, CDW tubes offer:
·Lower cost for medium-pressure applications
·Excellent dimensional accuracy after cold drawing
·Consistent inner and outer surface quality
Key Features
·Standard: EN 10305-2
·Steel Grade: E355
·Welded + Cold Drawn for improved precision
·Excellent straightness for cylinder applications
·Designed for honing or SRB finishing
·Cost-effective alternative to seamless tubes
