Precision Engineering for Demanding Applications – Two Custom-Configured 10‑Ton Hydraulic Cold Drawing Machines

Designed for superconductor and stainless steel applications – where tolerance and concentricity are critical, hydraulic drive outperforms chain‑type systems.


Two Machines, Two Different Requirements – One Common Choice

We have recently completed two sets of 10‑ton hydraulic cold drawing machines, each configured with a different effective drawing length to match specific customer needs. While the machines share the same hydraulic drive architecture, their applications could not be more different – yet both customers chose hydraulic over chain‑type for the same reason: superior tolerance and concentricity.


Case 1 – Superconductor Materials

Requirement

Detail

Application

Drawing superconductor wires/tubes with extreme precision

Why hydraulic?

Smooth, vibration‑free force prevents micro‑cracks and ensures uniform wall thickness

Key benefit

Consistent reduction – essential for maintaining superconducting properties


Case 2 – Stainless Steel Tubes (High Tolerance)

Requirement

Detail

Application

Stainless steel tubes requiring tighter tolerances after drawing

Why hydraulic?

Closed‑loop force control eliminates stick‑slip vibration – achieves ±0.015 mm accuracy

Key benefit

Improved concentricity – reduces secondary machining and scrap


Hydraulic vs. Chain‑Type – Why It Matters for Tolerance and Concentricity

Factor

Chain‑Type

Hydraulic (FangRong)

Force application

Step‑wise, chain link pulsation

Smooth, continuous, infinitely variable

Vibration amplitude

0.15–0.30 mm – risk of chatter marks

<0.02 mm – no surface defects

Speed stability

Fluctuates with chain tension

Constant – independent of load

Concentricity

Moderate – risk of wall thickness variation

Excellent – uniform wall thickness

Surface finish

Ra ≥0.6 µm

Ra ≤0.2 µm – mirror bright

Overload protection

Shear pin breaks – production stop

Relief valve – machine continues

Maintenance

Chain tensioning, sprocket wear

Hydraulic oil changes, seal kits


Why Customers Choose Hydraulic for High‑Precision Applications

  • Better tolerance – closed‑loop force and position control maintains ±0.015 mm accuracy

  • Superior concentricity – smooth, vibration‑free force prevents wall thickness variation

  • More stable drawing process – constant speed independent of load

  • Improved surface finish – no chatter marks – ready for plating or anodizing

  • Energy efficiency – variable‑displacement pump reduces energy consumption by 15–25%


Key Technical Specifications – 10‑Ton Hydraulic Drawbench

Parameter

Range

Drawing force

10 tons (100 kN)

Tube/bar diameter

2 – 25 mm

Wall thickness (tubes)

0.2 – 4 mm

Drawing length

Custom – configured per customer requirement

Drawing speed

0 – 20 m/min (programmable)

Dimensional accuracy

±0.015 mm

Surface finish

Ra ≤0.2 µm


If your metal material requires improved tolerance and concentricity, choose the hydraulic type to replace the chain type.

Hydraulic cold drawing machines deliver:

  • Tighter tolerances – ±0.015 mm or better

  • Better concentricity – uniform wall thickness

  • Smoother surface finish – Ra ≤0.2 µm

  • More stable operation – constant speed and force

  • Lower maintenance – no chain wear or tensioning
