Our company mainly produces brake cylinders, clutch cylinders, and water pumps. Therefore, it has extremely high requirements on the dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and form tolerance of the cylinder body. The honing process is the most effective method for inner hole finishing. It can make the inside of the cylinders smoother and prolong the service life of the cylinders.
The honing process is a special form of grinding. Honing uses a special tool, called a honing stone or a hone, to achieve a precision surface. The hone is composed of abrasive grains that are bound together with an adhesive. There are many types of hones, but all consist of one or more abrasive stones that are held under pressure against the surface they are working on.
Advantages of honing processing:
1. It can remove large machining allowances and improve the dimensional accuracy, geometric accuracy, and surface roughness of parts.
2. The surface is smoother. The surface is cross-textured, which is conducive to the storage of lubricating oil and the maintenance of the oil film and is resistant to wear.
