Welding parts onto a cylinder tube often results in distortion of the material, severely affecting the operational capacity and lifetime value of a hydraulic cylinder repair. When you buy your honed tubes from Honingcraft, we offer a complimentary hone-after-weld service. Simply ask your sales representative for your tubes in a hone after weld condition and bring the barrel back to us after you’ve welded the base and ports onto the tube.
Our customers are supplied with honed or unhoned material. After machining and welding the material, it is returned to Honingcraft for the final honing process. This ensures the best possible tolerances on welded cylinders.
You will receive the size of tube you require which is cut to the length you specify. Weld your ports, end-cap and flange on and send it back to us for a final hone to adjust the inside diameter for warping during the welding process. We will deliver the completed barrel to you for assembly and testing.
