Our stainless steel and alloy piston rods are precision-engineered for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, offering corrosion resistance, wear protection, and high mechanical strength.
Our stainless steel and alloy piston rods are precision-engineered for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, offering corrosion resistance, wear protection, and high mechanical strength.
These rods undergo induction hardening followed by hard chrome plating, delivering:
· Mirror-like ID and OD finish for smooth piston travel
· High surface hardness (HRC 58–62)
· Excellent fatigue and corrosion resistance
Ideal for harsh environments, including offshore, chemical, and food-grade applications.
Typical Steel Grades
·17-4 PH Stainless Steel – high strength, corrosion resistant
·304 / 316 Stainless Steel – excellent corrosion resistance
·Alloy Steel 20MnV6 / 27SiMn – high strength, fatigue-resistant
·Other custom grades available on request
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 metric and imperial standards.
