Hard chrome plated rods are one of the most essential components in hydraulic cylinders. Their smooth finish, superior hardness, and corrosion resistance ensure reliable performance in both industrial and mobile hydraulic applications.
Why Chrome Plated Rods Matter
A hydraulic cylinder performs a heavy job — lifting, pushing, pulling, and handling high loads. The piston rod must therefore be:
Highly wear-resistant
Smooth for friction-free movement
Corrosion-resistant
Strong enough to handle sudden impacts
Chrome plating provides these critical advantages, making the rod suitable for long-term performance.
Awal Engineering Co. — Precision for Performance
Our chrome plated rods are manufactured with:
EN8D, C45, and 42CrMo4 materials
Ra 0.1–0.2 µm mirror finish
20–30 micron uniform chrome plating
Deep induction hardening up to HRC 55–60
These features make our rods the preferred choice for hydraulic OEMs across India.
