High-precision tubes
High-precision tubes with extremely thin walls of 0.04-0.2 inch, also referred to as sleeves, with wall thicknesses in the area of 0.004 -0.04 inch, are used in many different areas of industry. A wide selection of usable materials, such as Inconel, stainless steel, nickel, aluminium, copper, niobium, tantalum, titanium therefore offer best solutions for your application. Examples are cylinder tubes for hydraulics and pneumatics cylinders, cooling rollers for the steel industry, pipes for deep drilling technology, rollers for the pressure, textile and film industry, high-precision tubes for magnetic resonance imaging. Flow-formed thin-walled sleeves are used, as belts in motor technology or carrier tubes for carbon-fibre-coiled cylinders and pressure containers. Surface qualities up to Ra = 3.937e-5 inch and diameter tolerances in the range of H7 can be reached. In conventional steels/stainless steels, cold hardening allows generation of a tension resilience of up to 1600 N/mm² with concurrently good elongation.
