Manufacturing Process
1. Selection of high-strength ST52 steel
2. Cold drawing or cold rolling to achieve OD and wall thickness
3. Precision honing for super smooth ID (Ra0.4 – Ra0.8)
4. Heat treatment for stress relief and optimized mechanical properties
5. Surface finishing – oiled, phosphated, or optional coatings
6. Inspection – dimensional checks, straightness, roundness, Ra measurement
7. How to Choose Super Smooth ID Tubes
Surface Finish (Ra)
·Ra0.4: Ultra-high precision (hydraulic, tooling, aerospace)
·Ra0.6: Standard high-performance (industrial machinery, automotive)
·Ra0.8: General-purpose hydraulic/pneumatic systems
Tolerance (H9 or H8)
·H9: Common for most SSID tubes
·H8: High precision for critical applications
Material (Steel Grade)
·ST52: High-strength steel for hydraulic and precision machinery
·Optional alloys for higher pressure or temperature
Size (OD x ID x Wall)
·Match cylinder or piston specifications
·Custom sizes available if standard sizes do not fit
Applications
·Hydraulic cylinders & pistons
·Pneumatic actuators
·Precision machinery & tooling
·Automotive and industrial equipment
Tips:
·Ra0.4–0.6 for high-speed or high-precision applications
·H9 tolerance ensures reliable sealing
·Verify wall thickness for hydraulic pressure rating
·Consider surface treatments for corrosion or lubrication
