Telescoping Round Tubing Process

Aluminum Extrusion
At HTS-ALU, we design custom aluminum extrusion dies to achieve your specified diameters (Φ20–Φ100mm) and wall thicknesses (0.8–3mm), ensuring telescoping tubes with high coaxial accuracy (≤0.1mm). By precisely heating and extruding the aluminum, we form smooth, seamless tubes in 3 or 5 sections in one step. With 40 advanced lines, including a 6000-ton press, we deliver high-precision aluminum profiles tailored to your needs.

Fine machining
We provide precision cutting to your required lengths (100–500mm), with end-face squareness within 0.2mm. Tubes are chamfered and deburred for safe, smooth movement, and the inner surface is polished (Ra≤1.6μm) for reduced friction. We machine locking holes or slots as needed, and strictly control fit tolerances (0.1–0.3mm) to ensure smooth, stable telescoping.

Surface Treatment
We offer a range of surface treatments for telescoping aluminum round tubes to enhance appearance and durability. Common options include anodizing (for corrosion resistance and a smooth metallic finish), powder coating (available in various colors), brushing, polishing, and sandblasting. All surfaces are carefully treated to ensure a uniform, high-quality finish that provides long-lasting protection and an attractive appearance for your application.
Telescopic round tube raw material
Our telescoping aluminum round tubes are manufactured from premium 6061 and 6063 aluminum alloys. These alloys offer an excellent balance of strength (tensile strength: 200–250 MPa), corrosion resistance, and lightweight characteristics (density: 2.7 g/cm³), making them ideal for precision applications. We use well-inspected billets to ensure consistent quality, smooth surfaces, and reliable performance in all telescoping tube structures.

Telescopic round tube Locking Types
Our telescoping aluminum round tubes feature various self-locking designs to securely hold the desired length. Common self-locking options include spring pins, push-button locks, and twist-lock mechanisms, which are integrated directly into the tube. These solutions ensure quick, convenient adjustment and stable positioning for a wide range of applications.

Key Features & Advantages
1. Strong and Lightweight
Manufactured from premium aluminum alloys such as 6061 or 6063, our tubes offer an excellent balance of high strength and low weight, making handling and transportation effortless.
2. Smooth Telescopic Action
Precision extrusion and strict quality control guarantee seamless extension and retraction, with minimal play between sections.
3. Corrosion Resistance
Each tube is treated with anodizing or powder coating, giving enhanced durability for both indoor and outdoor use.
4. Long Service Life
High-quality materials ensure your products withstand rigorous use, reducing replacement and maintenance costs.
