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

Manufacturing Process
1. Welded steel tube production from high-quality strip steel
2. Cold drawing to refine dimensions, mechanical properties, and surface finish
3. Straightening for excellent linear accuracy
4. Non-destructive testing (NDT) to ensure weld integrity
5. Optional honing or SRB processing for super-smooth inner surface
Applications
·Hydraulic cylinders for construction, mining, and agriculture
·Industrial hydraulic machinery
·Automotive suspension and hydraulic systems
·Medium-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders
Advantages
·Cost-effective vs. seamless tubes
·Precise OD and WT tolerances after cold drawing
·Excellent weld integrity and mechanical strength
·Smooth inner bore after honing or SRB
·High straightness, essential for hydraulic performance
