Length note: values ≤12 and ≤6 are retained from the source data. Available lengths and their units must be confirmed when making an inquiry.

Selecting hydraulic cylinder tubes

Confirm bore diameter, wall thickness, processing method, bore tolerance, surface roughness and delivery condition together. Use the dimension and property tables as a reference; final requirements follow cylinder drawings and agreed technical conditions.

Common selection questions

How should I choose between cold-drawn and skived tubes?

Choose according to the drawing’s bore size, tolerance, roughness and subsequent machining plan, rather than diameter range alone.

Which parameters are needed for a cylinder tube inquiry?

Specify ID, wall thickness or OD, length with units, grade, processing method, tolerance, roughness, delivery condition and quantity. The table’s maximum-length unit requires confirmation.
