Tianjin Uranus Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. is a leading manufacturer of metallurgical hydraulic cylinders, engineered to withstand the extreme conditions found in steel mills and foundries. As a “national high-tech enterprise” with over 30 years of experience, we design these cylinders for applications such as continuous casting, rolling mills, and furnace equipment, where they must endure high temperatures, heavy shock loads, and pervasive contamination. Our metallurgical cylinders feature robust construction with thick-walled tubing and heavy-duty rod ends to absorb the high forces encountered during operations like roll bending and mold oscillation. We use specialized high-temperature seals, often incorporating materials like Viton or PTFE, that maintain their integrity in ambient temperatures exceeding 200°C (392°F). For applications where the cylinder is directly exposed to heat, such as in walking beam furnaces, we incorporate heat shields and cooling jackets to protect critical components. The cylinder rods are hardened and chrome-plated for wear resistance and can be further protected with ceramic coatings for applications with extreme abrasion from scale. To combat corrosion from water and process chemicals, we offer cylinders with stainless steel components and specialized painting systems. Our manufacturing process includes rigorous testing, including high-cycle fatigue testing, to ensure long-term reliability. In a steel mill, our cylinders contribute to higher uptime by providing consistent, leak-free performance even after years of continuous operation. For a metallurgical hydraulic cylinder solution that is built for the harshest environments, we invite you to contact us to discuss your specific application.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does your company support product maintenance and repair?

We support product maintenance and repair through comprehensive documentation, spare parts availability, and technical assistance. Our cylinders and systems are designed with serviceability in mind, featuring removable gland nuts, replaceable wear strips, and cartridge-type seals that can be serviced without full disassembly. We provide detailed maintenance manuals and can offer on-site training for your maintenance teams. Our technical support team is available to assist with troubleshooting, and we maintain a global spare parts inventory to support quick repairs and minimize downtime.
Our high pressure hydraulic cylinders are designed with safety factors that exceed industry standards. We use premium alloy steels, often forged for critical components, and employ advanced sealing technologies with redundant seal profiles. Each cylinder undergoes rigorous testing, including hydrostatic testing at 1.5 times the rated pressure, to verify integrity. We also perform non-destructive testing on critical welds and components. Our design process includes finite element analysis to optimize the cylinder structure for pressure containment and fatigue life, ensuring long-term reliability.
Lead times for custom hydraulic systems vary depending on the complexity, size, and specifications of the system. Standard custom cylinders may have lead times of 4 to 8 weeks, while complete custom hydraulic systems or large presses may require 12 to 20 weeks. We work closely with clients to establish realistic schedules and can often provide expedited options for urgent needs. Our manufacturing facility is equipped to handle both rapid prototyping and large-scale production, allowing us to balance speed with quality.
To receive a quote for a custom hydraulic cylinder, please contact our engineering team directly. We will need information such as required bore size, rod diameter, stroke length, mounting style, operating pressure, and any special environmental conditions or features. Our team will work with you to define the specifications, provide engineering drawings for approval, and deliver a comprehensive quote. We offer competitive pricing and lead times based on the complexity of your custom requirements.

Customer Reviews

Sergei Petrov

Our heavy plate leveler is a demanding application with high shock loads and extreme pressures. Tianjin Uranus designed metallurgical hydraulic cylinders specifically for this application, with forged components and heavy-duty bearings. The cylinders have now exceeded four years of continuous service without any issues. The quality of the machining and assembly is evident, and the cylinders have maintained their performance. The Uranus team provided detailed documentation and was very responsive throughout the project. We have since standardized on Uranus cylinders for other critical mill equipment. I highly recommend them.

Marco Rossi

We installed Tianjin Uranus metallurgical hydraulic cylinders on our continuous casting machine three years ago, and they have been performing flawlessly. The cylinders are used for mold oscillation and segment positioning, requiring precise control and continuous operation. The high-temperature seals have maintained integrity despite the extreme heat, and the cylinders have not required any major repairs. The custom designs included heat shields and specialized porting for our hydraulic system. The Uranus engineering team was knowledgeable about the unique demands of continuous casting and provided excellent support. These cylinders have become our standard for mill applications.
