CK45 C20 Q355B E355(ST52) SAE1026 Honed Hydraulic Tube Skived and Roller Burnished Tube (SRB Tubes) for Hydraulic Equipment
Material and Specification
Honed hydraulic tubes, particularly those that are skived and roller burnished (SRB), are essential components in hydraulic equipment. These tubes, such as the CK45, C20, Q355B, E355(ST52), and SAE1026, are known for their impeccable surface finishes and tightly controlled dimensional tolerances. They are ideal for applications that require high pressure and minimal friction. These tubes are manufactured to meet rigorous specifications, ensuring their reliability and durability in demanding environments.
Key Features
- Precision Manufacturing: SRB tubes are processed through skiving and roller burnishing, which provides a mirror-like surface finish and enhances the fatigue resistance of the tubes.
- Tightly Controlled Tolerances: The manufacture of these tubes involves precise dimension control to ensure consistent performance.
- High Corrosion Resistance: Depending on the material, these tubes can offer excellent resistance to corrosion, prolonging their service life.
- Excellent Mechanical Properties: They demonstrate superb tensile strength and toughness, making them suitable for high-pressure environments.
