What Are Precision Steel Tubes?

Precision steel tubes are high-quality carbon or alloy steel tubes engineered for exceptional dimensional accuracy, smooth surfaces, and superior mechanical properties, ideal for demanding applications.

Manufactured through cold-drawing or cold-rolling, these seamless hydraulic tubes comply with standards like DIN 2391, EN 10305-1, and ASTM A519, using grades such as ST35, ST45, or ASTM A519 1020. With tight tolerances (±0.05 mm) and excellent surface finish (Ra ≤ 0.8 µm), they are designed for automotive, hydraulic, and mechanical engineering applications, including hydraulic cylinders, fuel injection systems, and precision bearings.

These tubes undergo rigorous testing, including dimensional checks, tensile tests, and surface inspections, to ensure defect-free quality. With tensile strengths from 340 MPa (ST35) to 600 MPa (ST52) and surface treatments like phosphating or galvanizing, they offer robust performance and corrosion resistance. Compared to standard seamless tubes, precision steel tubes reduce machining needs due to their superior accuracy and smoother surfaces, with customizable lengths (up to 6 meters) and end finishes.

Precision steel tubes deliver unmatched accuracy, strength, and corrosion resistance, making them a preferred choice for high-performance applications in hydraulic systems and automotive manufacturing.
