Skived Tube: Skiving And Boring For Precision Cylinder Barrels

2026-10-19

Skived tube does not get the attention that honed tube gets, but on most production lines it does the heavy lifting. Skiving is the process that cuts a rough bore to size quickly and accurately, and when it is paired with roller burnishing in one machine, it is the fastest way to make a finished cylinder barrel. This article explains what skiving is, how it differs from boring, and when to ask ...

Honed Tube: How Honing Works, Tolerances And Where To Use It

2026-10-12

Honed tube is the workhorse of the hydraulic world. Walk through any cylinder factory and you will see racks of it — steel tubes with bores so smooth they catch the light. Honing is the process that puts that finish there. If you are buying cylinders, barrels or tube for machining, understanding honed tube saves you from paying for accuracy you do not need, or ordering the wrong thing ent...

Precision Cold Drawn Tube: Process, Tolerances And Applications

2026-10-05

If you have ever compared the surface of a hot-rolled pipe with a cold drawn one, nobody needs to explain the difference to you. Cold drawing takes steel that is rough, scaled and out of round, and turns it into tube that is smooth, straight and accurate — which is exactly why precision cold drawn tube is the standard starting point for cylinder barrels, piston rods and hydraulic lines. ...

Hydraulic Vs Pneumatic Cylinder: What's The Difference And How To Choose

2026-09-28

People use the words “hydraulic” and “pneumatic” almost interchangeably on factory floors, but the two are different animals. One pushes with oil, the other pushes with air, and that single difference ripples through force, speed, cost, precision and maintenance. This article puts the two side by side and gives you a practical way to choose — plus a look at what th...

Hydraulic Cylinder Barrel: Materials, Machining And Selection Guide

2026-09-21

A hydraulic cylinder is only as good as the tube it is built around. The barrel — the cylinder tube that houses the piston — carries the system pressure, guides the piston and its seals, and takes the brunt of every cycle the machine runs. Get the barrel right and the rest of the cylinder has a fighting chance. Get it wrong, and no amount of seal quality or rod polishing will save y...
