For perfect cylinders and internal surfaces. If cylindricality, roughness and longevity are crucial, honing is often the best solution.
BO-Solutions hones cylinders, precision hydraulic parts and bearing bushes to the nearest 5 microns, with a controlled surface ready for use.
Honing is a fine machining for the inside of holes and cylinders. With rotating, oscillating grinding stones, material is removed in a very controlled manner.
Unlike drilling or reaming, honing not only corrects the size, but also:
The result:
Cylinders that are nicely round, tightly sized and ideal in use, for example for seals, pistons, bearings or hydraulic applications.
Moreover, honing is often more affordable than inner grinding, while the quality is just as high or even better for many applications.
We combine measurable precision with practical efficiency.
Range & accuracy:
This makes honing ideal for critical diameter fits where a standard drilling or turning operation is not sufficient.
Process characteristics:
This way, cylinders not only get the right size, but also the right surface and carrying image.
Honing is designated when:
Applications:
Are you hesitating between honing and internal grinding? We think along with you from your application and provide honest, technically substantiated advice.
Honing cylinders or finishing internal holes?
Do you have a part where the inside really has to be right – both in terms of size and surface? We look at your part and advise whether honing, cylindrical grinding or a combination is the best approach.

Honing is a fine machining process for the inside of holes and cylinders. With rotating, oscillating grinding stones, the surface is evened out and precisely cut to size. The process improves roundness, cylindricity and roughness, creating a cross-grinding pattern that benefits lubrication.
In honing a tool with grinding stones is introduced into the bore. As the tool rotates and moves up and down, small amounts of material are removed. The pressure, speed and grain are matched to:
This creates a very even surface that is perfectly suited for seals, pistons, bearings and guides.
Cylinder honing is done as:
In short: you hone cylinders when "about right" is not enough, and you want to be sure that the inside is measurably perfect.
