We are one of the biggest hydraulic cylinder tube suppliers in South Africa and importers and suppliers of cold drawn and welded hydraulic steel tube according to National and International specifications, including Din 2391. We supply tubing from 2 to 8 inches (imperial) and 40mm to 200mm (metric) in honed and pre-honed conditions. Non-standard sizes are made up to the customer's requirements.

Honingcraft (Pty) Ltd is the proud owner of twenty honing machines capable of honing diameters of 25mm up to 1000mm with a maximum length of twenty meters.

In addition to the above we also import CK 45 hard chromium plated bars, which are wrapped in plastic of at least 1mm thickness to protect the surface against impact.

We also supply induction hardened bars to be used as column bars for slide roller bearings of high quality. Induction hardened bars can also be used for different applications in the field, such as hydraulic piston rods for construction machines. Stock sizes range from 16mm to 100mm (metric) and (imperial) to 4 inch.

Due to the distortion of welding on cylinder tubes we also supply a hone after weld service where the customer is supplied with pre-honed or un-honed material, where after machining and welding of the material, is returned to Honingcraft for the final honing process, therefore obtaining the best tolerances on welded cylinders.

Through effective operation, such as quality management and admin systems the company and staff commit themselves to achieve and maintain the highest possible standard of quality and services.
