Laser cladding with unmatched protection: Enduroq 1
Hydraulic cylinder piston rods encounter many operational challenges. These crucial steel components are precisely machined to meet strict tolerances and achieve a smooth surface. Our laser cladding method Enduroq 1 is designed in-house and offers exceptional protection, ensuring your equipment remains functional and durable under tough conditions.
- Safe: For users and the environment.
- Effective: Offers better corrosion protection, without the downsides of Chromium 6.
- High Performance: Higher wear resistance, scratch-resistant, longer lifetime expectancy.
- Value: Competitive pricing, less maintenance, easy to repair.
Laser cladded stainless steel-based coating
Enduroq 1 is a laser cladded stainless steel-based coating that is specifically designed for piston rod applications. With its toughness and resistance to wear, Enduroq 1 outshines hard chrome, offering a superior alternative.
Compared to traditional hard chrome or nickel chrome coatings, Enduroq 1 provides increased quality and longevity at a similar price level. In the event of any damage or wear, the coating can be field repaired, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. Enduroq 1 is applied using a chromium 6-free process, and meets the requirements of the latest version of the NBD 10300—the rigorous specification for piston rod coatings developed and utilized by the esteemed Dutch Department of Waterways. This recognition showcases our commitment to safety, compliance, and excellence.
