DH produces PSQ bars in both Austenitic as well as Martenistic grades.
Austenitic stainless steels are most commonly used. Austenitic stainless steel pump shafting is not magnetic; due to its high nickel and chromium composition, it is extremely resistant to corrosion.
In addition, austenitic stainless steel pump shafting provides excellent mechanical properties. Heat treatment cannot be used to harden austenitic stainless steel pump shafting, although it can be hardened considerably by cold working.
Grades Available in Austenitic Steel:
Martensitic stainless steels were designed as a type of stainless steel alloy that could be hardened by heat treatment and would be corrosion resistant - although not as corrosion resistant as austenitic or ferritic stainless steels. Martensitic stainless steel pump shafting is highly machinable and is known for being wear resistant.
Grades Available in Martenistic Steel:
- AISI-410
- AISI-416
- AISI-420
DH produces PSQ bars with superior finish and straightness tolerance by additional process using modern techniques and state-of-art machineries and equipments including special finishing machines to give a smooth and mirror finish surface. Thus wear-free running of the impellers is ensured. DH also provides chamfering at 30 – 45 degrees as per customer requirements.
The bars thus produced undergo stringent quality and inspection test in order to ensure the exact technical requirements are adhered during the production as per O.E.M. specifications.
Thereafter the bars are wrapped in HDPE sheets and then stuffed inside export quality wooden boxes as per the specific requirements of the customer. DH also provides other types of packing like tube packing of each bar, putting 3-4 rubber / plastic ‘O’ rings throughout each bar as per specific requirement from their customers.
Specifications: | Size Range | Diameter Tol. | Ovality | Straightness | Length | Surface |
| 10mm – 70mm | h9, h8 | ½ the diameter tolerance | Upto 0.5mm per 1 meter | 2.5 meters – 6 meters | Smooth / Mirror Finish |
The PSQ bars are commonly used at following Industry levels:
- Pneumatic and Hydraulic Cylinder Shafts
- Textile Machinery Shafts
- Piston Shafts
- Precision Shafting
- Chemical Pump Shafts
