Hard Chrome Plated Bars

Hard Chrome Plated Bars are precision ground and chrome-plated steel rods designed for use in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, guide rods, and linear motion systems. These bars offer exceptional surface hardness, corrosion resistance, and a mirror-like finish that ensures extended seal life and reduced friction. Manufactured to tight tolerances, they are ideal for applications requiring superior wear performance under high loads and harsh conditions.

  • High surface hardness and excellent wear resistance
  • Corrosion-resistant chrome finish for harsh environments
  • Mirror-like finish improves seal performance and reduces friction
  • High dimensional accuracy and straightness
  • Long service life with minimal maintenance
