Hard Chrome Plated Hydraulic Piston Rod with HRC50-55 Hardness and 40Cr Alloy Steel for High Durability

Hard Chrome Plated Piston Rod | Hydraulic Cylinder Piston Rod Manufacturer

1. Product Overview

The Chrome Piston Rod is a key functional component designed for linear motion and power transmission in hydraulic systems. Made from 40Cr alloy steel, it undergoes cold drawing, precision machining, and hard chrome plating to ensure consistent performance under high-pressure and high-frequency working conditions.

With hardness controlled at HRC50–55 and surface roughness Ra0.2–0.4, the piston rod offers excellent wear resistance and surface smoothness. It is mainly used in hydraulic cylinders to transfer force stably and reduce friction between the rod and sealing components.

This product helps improve the overall service life of hydraulic equipment, reduces seal wear, and lowers the frequency of maintenance and

replacement in industrial and construction machinery.
