Choosing the correct inner diameter for your honed tube is critical for proper hydraulic cylinder function. Here's what you need to consider:

 

The inner diameter of the honed tube must match the piston diameter with the correct clearance for the seals. Too much clearance can cause seal extrusion and leakage, while too little clearance increases friction and can cause binding.

 

The wall thickness (which combined with outer diameter determines inner diameter) must be sufficient for your working pressure. Higher pressure requires thicker walls, which means smaller inner diameter for the same outer diameter.

 

Many standard hydraulic cylinder series use standard inner diameters that are readily available. However, if you have a custom design, you may need a custom inner diameter.

 

At Xinluo Hydraulic, we can provide honed tubes in a wide range of inner diameters, including custom sizes to meet your specific requirements. Our precision honing process holds tight tolerances so you get exactly the inner diameter you need for your hydraulic cylinder design.

 

If you're unsure about what inner diameter you need for your application, don't hesitate to contact our technical team for guidance.
