Piston Rod Processing Technology

2025-09-11

Using rolling processing, due to the residual compressive stress left on the surface layer, it helps to close small cracks on the surface and hinders the propagation of erosion. Thereby enhancing the surface corrosion resistance and delaying the generation or expansion of fatigue cracks, thus increasing the fatigue strength of the oil cylinder rod. By rolling forming, a cold work hardening layer is formed on the rolling surface, reducing the elastic and plastic deformation of the contact surface of the grinding pair, thereby improving the wear resistance of the cylinder rod surface and avoiding burns caused by grinding. After rolling, the decrease in surface roughness value can improve the fitting properties. At the same time, it reduces the friction damage to the sealing ring or seal during the movement of the cylinder rod piston, and increases the overall service life of the cylinder. Rolling technology is an efficient and high-quality process measure, and now taking the 160mm diameter mirror cutting rolling head (45 seamless steel pipe) as an example to prove the rolling effect. After rolling, the surface roughness of the oil cylinder rod decreased from Ra3.2-6.3um before rolling to Ra0.4-0.8um, the surface hardness of the oil cylinder rod increased by about 30%, and the surface fatigue strengt...

Key Manufacturing Processes Of Quenched And Tempered Piston Rods

2025-09-12

Key Manufacturing Processes of Quenched and Tempered Piston Rods The key manufacturing processes for quenched and tempered piston rods encompass six major steps: material selection, pre-treatment, quenching and tempering heat treatment, machining, surface treatment, and quality inspection. Details are as follows: 1. Material selection Based on the working conditions of the piston rod (e.g., load, environmental corrosion), medium-carbon steel (e.g., 45# steel), alloy structural steel (e.g., 40Cr, 35CrMo), or stainless steel (e.g., 304, 316) are prioritized. These materials must exhibit high strength, high toughness, and corrosion resistance. Non-destructive testing (e.g., ultrasonic inspection) is used to ensure the absence of internal defects such as cracks or inclusions. 2. Pre-treatment Forged blanks undergo annealing or normalizing to eliminate forging stress and improve machinability. For example: 45# steel: Normalizing (heated to 840–860°C, held, then air-cooled). 40Cr steel: Annealing (heated to 850°C, held, then furnace-cooled). 3. Quenching and tempering heat treatment Quenching: The piston rod is heated above its critical temperature (e.g., 840–860°C for 45# steel, 850°C for 40Cr steel), held for a specific duration, and rapidly cooled (e.g., oil or...

How To Maintain The Pneumatic Piston Rod

2025-09-12

The maintenance of pneumatic piston rods is the key to ensuring their long-term stable operation and extending their service life. Regular inspection, cleaning, lubrication, and component replacement can effectively prevent issues such as wear, leakage, and jamming. The following are detailed maintenance steps and key points: 1、 Daily inspection and cleaning Visual inspection Surface of piston rod: Check for scratches, dents, rust, or peeling coating. Minor scratches can be repaired with oilstone polishing, while severe damage requires replacement of the piston rod. Sealing condition: Observe whether the piston sealing ring, piston rod sealing ring, and dust ring are aging, cracked, or deformed. If any leakage or dust intrusion traces are found, the seal should be replaced immediately. Connection part: Check if the connecting bolts between the cylinder end cover, piston rod, and load are loose to prevent detachment due to vibration. Cleaning treatment Remove impurities: Wipe the surface of the piston rod with a clean soft cloth to remove dust, oil stains, and metal shavings. Avoid using corrosive cleaning agents such as gasoline and acetone. Dust prevention measures: In dusty environments, protective covers or accordion covers can be installed to reduce the intrusion of external impurities. ...

What Are The Core Characteristics Of High-frequency Quenching Piston Rods

2025-09-11

High frequency quenching piston rod is a precision component treated with high-frequency induction heating technology to rapidly heat and quench its surface. Its core characteristics are reflected in four aspects: surface performance enhancement, significant process advantages, wide application scenarios, and comprehensive quality assurance systems. A detailed analysis is as follows: 1. Surface performance enhancement: Hard and wear-resistant, tough and fatigue-resistant high-frequency quenching utilizes electromagnetic induction to heat the piston rod surface to the quenching temperature (approximately 1,000–1,020°c) in an extremely short time (typically seconds to tens of seconds), followed by rapid cooling (e.g., compressed air spraying or water cooling). This forms a quenched layer with a depth of 1.5–2.5 mm, composed of martensite with a hardness of ≥ hrc 50 (up to hrc 58–62 for high-end products), while the core retains the tough structure of tempered or normalized steel. This "Hard surface, tough core" Characteristic provides the following advantages: Enhanced wear resistance: The quenched layer effectively resists friction and wear, extending service life. For example, in hydraulic cylinders of engineering machinery, the service life of high-frequency qu...
