Expert hard-chrome restoration for cylinder rods. Smooth, durable, and built to last.
What We Do
At Cylinders, Inc., our rechroming service brings worn or scored rods and tubes back to precise, seal-friendly condition. We chemically strip the damaged chrome, assess and repair the base metal, straighten as needed, then pre-grind for uniformity. Industrial hard chrome is applied to the specified thickness, followed by finish grinding to exact diameter and a mirror polish that reduces friction and extends seal life.
Staying true to our “repair-and-improve” philosophy, we don’t just refinish, we correct the factors that caused the wear, and upgrade materials or tolerances where it makes sense. The result is a rod that resists corrosion, runs cooler, and lasts longer in the field.
