High Pressure Honed Tube for Hydraulic & Pneumatic Systems

Full stock of hydraulic seamless tubes, honed barrel tubes and matching pipe fittings. Custom cutting, bending, internal honing and surface treatment, professional material selection consulting for all hydraulic working conditions.

Hydraulics place the highest demands on materials, precision and reliability. In addition to safely transmitting high pressures, pipe solutions must be wear-resistant, durable and corrosion-resistant. SunnySteel offers a wide range of tube solutions for this purpose – from cylinder and piston tubes to individually tailored solutions for complex systems.

Our hydraulic solutions are used in mechanical and plant engineering, industrial hydraulics, infrastructure technology, manufacturing, and construction and transport machinery.

Hydraulic systems operate under continuous fluctuating high pressure, which places extremely high demands on dimensional accuracy, surface finish, material homogeneity and long-term fatigue resistance of tubular components. Imperfect inner surface roughness or unstable dimensional tolerances will accelerate seal abrasion, cause internal leakage and shorten the whole hydraulic unit’s service life. Our comprehensive portfolio of premium hydraulic tubing covers nearly all hydraulic application scenarios, enabling you to select the optimal material and specification for your operating environment from our complete product groups.

Tight dimensional tolerances, defined material properties and suitable surfaces ensure high pressure resistance, media resistance and reliable corrosion protection. With high stock availability, a wide range of dimensions and application-oriented advice, SunnySteel supports its customers in implementing economical and durable hydraulic solutions.
