Applications

Hydraulic Systems

Honed tubes are widely used in hydraulic cylinders. The precise inner diameter and smooth surface are essential for the proper functioning of the piston within the cylinder. The hydraulic fluid can flow smoothly through the tube, and the piston can move with minimal leakage and maximum efficiency.

Pneumatic Systems

In pneumatic systems, honed tubes are also used in cylinders. Although the operating pressures are generally lower than in hydraulic systems, the need for a precise bore and good surface finish still exists to ensure proper operation of the pneumatic components.

Automotive Industry

They are used in various automotive applications, such as in the construction of shock absorbers and some engine components. The high - quality finish and dimensional accuracy of honed tubes contribute to the overall performance and reliability of these automotive parts.

Industrial Machinery

Many types of industrial machinery rely on honed tubes for linear motion components, such as in the guide rods of machine tools or in the actuators of some manufacturing equipment.
