SKIVING TUBE FOR HEAVE DUTY HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS

 Skiving tube and honing tube are both two common solutions for hydraulic cylinder barrel production. Skiving and roller burnishing is a two-in-one bore sizing and finishing process that delivers high levels of precision at lightning-fast speeds. Skiving and roller burnishing process is up to 70% faster than traditional honing process, making it an ideal solution for finishing hydraulic cylinder tubes in mass-production environments.

Skiving and roller burnishing tools are used for the functional production of internal diameters of cylinder tubes. These combine machining (skiving) and roughness reduction (roller burnishing) in a single tool, allowing both processes to be carried out simultaneously. Skiving tube produces the dimensional and shape accuracy required for hydraulic cylinders, for example. Roller burnishing influences the roughness of the surface directly after machining. The usual target values here are R_a 0.1µm - 0.3µm.

Wuxi YUTONG as a professional manufacturer of hydraulic cylinder field, we have much experience for different projects, if the cylinder barrel ID size less than 320mm, we will choose cold drawing + honing to produce, if over 320mm, deep drilling and skiving roller burnishing will be choose to make the better quality. Our cylinder honed tube can be supplied with ID tolerance of H7, H8 or depends on customers’ request and it’s dimension no matter what method it will use.
