Our Alloy Steel Piston Rods are manufactured from high-strength 20MnV6 or 27SiMn steel, then induction hardened and hard chrome plated to deliver long-lasting, wear-resistant, and corrosion-protected rods.
Our Alloy Steel Piston Rods are manufactured from high-strength 20MnV6 or 27SiMn steel, then induction hardened and hard chrome plated to deliver long-lasting, wear-resistant, and corrosion-protected rods.
These rods are ideal for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders in heavy-duty industrial, mobile machinery, and construction applications. They provide:
·Mirror-like surface finish (Ra ≤ 0.2 μm)
·High surface hardness (HRC 58–62)
·Excellent fatigue and wear resistance
·High dimensional precision (H8 tolerance)
Typical Steel Grades
·20MnV6 – low-alloy steel with excellent toughness, fatigue resistance, and hardenability
·27SiMn – higher strength alloy steel, ideal for heavy-duty piston rods with superior wear resistance
Other optional grades: 45# Carbon Steel, 4130 Chromium-Molybdenum Steel, Stainless Steel 17-4PH / 304 / 316
Common Sizes (Diameter × Length)
·Ø20 mm × 500 mm
·Ø25 mm × 1000 mm
·Ø32 mm × 1500 mm
·Ø40 mm × 2000 mm
·Ø50 mm × 3000 mm
Custom diameters and lengths available for both metric and imperial standards

Manufacturing Process
1. Steel Bar Selection – 20MnV6 or 27SiMn alloy steel
2. Turning & Machining – precise diameter and surface prep
3. Induction Hardening – increases surface hardness for wear resistance
4. Hard Chrome Plating – protects against corrosion and reduces friction
5. Grinding & Polishing – ensures mirror finish and H8 tolerance
6. Final Inspection – verifies hardness, straightness, roundness, and surface finish
