Piston rods
We produce our piston rods in the GMH Gruppe from a single source, from the material to the ready-to-install component.
The piston rods are manufactured on peeling, testing, grinding and polishing machines. The peeled and tested bright steel is first ground and polished, allowing us to maintain the tightest tolerances. After strip polishing, electroplating (chrome plating) takes place. We also offer a wide range of coating options, from nitrided to further electroplated coatings.
