It is becoming the standard choice for hydraulic cylinder rods because of it's high corrosion resistance and cost savings. Over 126 socatri 1000 cylinder rods are used to move the gates of the gigantic Escaut dam in the North Sea. Each rod is 20" in diameter, 60' long, and weighs 32 tons! After more than 10 years of service, under severe environmental and mechanical conditions, these socatri 1000 rods continue to perform. Socatri 1000 cylinder rods were used in MDOT Southwest Region as replacement rods on hydraulic cylinders used on underbody scraper blades and plows. They will outperform standard chrome platings and nitrated rods.
