SKIVING AND BURNISHING FOR CYLINDER BARREL BORE

 Honed or Skiving and burnishing  are the two common for cylinder barrel production. Datong Hydraulic as a professional manufacturer, we only use cold drawn seamless tube to manufacture cylinder tubes

For a hydraulic cylinder to operate effectively, the cylinder’s ID must be precisely round and have a mirror-like surface finish to ensure a tight seal between it and the mating internal piston. This is commonly achieved through skiving and subsequent roller burnishing inside a tubular workpiece. Skiving uses a set of carbide blades positioned around the diameter of a tool to slice away chips and create a geometrically round bore. Roller burnishing, a cold-working process, uses multiple rollers to compress the peaks of material left behind after skiving to generate an extremely smooth surface finish. Burnishing also introduces a residual stress layer into the cylinder wall, which improves cylinder fatigue life.

The tubes used for hydraulic cylinders are relatively thin. Care must be taken to secure the tube rigidly enough for the skiving and roller burnishing processes, but not so tightly as to deform it. Therefore, clamping cones are typically used to hold the tubes on both ends instead of three-jaw chucks. This clamping method also facilitates quick workpiece changeovers in automated environments. In addition, extra support must be provided along the length of the tube due to the inherently high length-to-diameter ratio of these workpieces.

Cylinder tube/barrel

According to the cylinder pressure and inside diameter size, different steel tube would be selected.
ID ≤300mm, choose cold drawn precision seamless tube
300mm≤ID ≤500mm, choose hot rolled seamless tube
500mm≤ID ≤1000mm, choose forged tube
Steel grade : ST52 ,SAE1020, SAE1045, 27SiMn , CK45,SAE4140,SAE1518, SAE4145 ,St52-3, SUS304, SUS316L etc.

Inside boring and honing , roughness R0.2-R0.4
Inside chromed : if necessary ,tube inside chrome plating could be applied

40CR ALLOY STEEL SPECIFICATION

  40Cr steel  is a kind of Chinese GB standard alloy steel for engineering and machinery purpose, and one of the most widely used steel grades. For 40Cr material hardness, specifications and equivalent, please see the table below. After quenching and tempering treatment, 40Cr steel has good comprehensive mechanical properties, low temperature impact toughness, low notch sensitivity, good hardenability, and high fatigue strength in cold oil. When water cooling, the complicated shape of the parts is prone to cracks, the cold bending plasticity is medium, and the cutting workability after normalizing is good, but the weldability is poor, should be preheated before welding, and is generally used in the state of quenching and tempering. DATASHEET & SPECIFICATION The tables below list 40Cr alloy steel datasheet and specification including chemical composition, properties and heat treatment, etc. 40CR STEEL CHEMICAL COMPOSITION   Chemical Composition (%) Grade C % Si Mn Cr 40Cr 0.37 – 0.4

Skiving &Roller Burnishing Tube And Honing Tube

Image
Skiving and roller burnishing tube  process provide high quality hydraulic cylinders with final sizing and creates the desired finish pattern on the interior of tubing or cylinder bores. They are used in the manufacturing of  hydraulic cylinders . Compared to honing process, they are 80-90% saving of machine time which reduces tool costs per meter of tube length and produces super finish surface, with a bore tolerance of IT8, thereby reduces the sealing wear making it ideal for pistons. The skiving tool is a multifunctional tool used in the manufacturing of hydraulic cylinders. Skiving is operated like this: Two thin chips are cut at a high feed rate (1-4 mm/rev) while the tool passes through the work piece. This cutting operation determines the finished diameter and tolerance of the hydraulic tube. Surface finish Ra= 4-10 μm (skiving) Skiving has obvious advantages compared with honing: • 80-90% saving of machine time which reduces tool costs per meter of tube length. • Produ

What is Hydraulic Ram Cylinder?

Image
  Hydraulic ram cylinders   are typically used to give vertical motion, including lifting loads in a vertical direction. Such a cylinder is also used to provide the motion in a horizontal direction but needs attention and suitable guides to guide the motion. Single-acting hydraulic cylinders that have no pistons but have large  cylinder rod s are called rams. These rams operate exactly like the conventional single acting hydraulic  cylinders. However, they use large diameter rods in place of pistons and piston seals in their designs. Thus, in place of pistons, rams have high-pressure cap-end ports. They also do not have any low-pressure rod-end ports. Rams are generally cheaper than their conventional single-acting cylinders counterparts.
