At Tianjin Uranus Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd., we specialize in custom-engineered metallurgical hydraulic cylinders that are precisely tailored to the unique equipment and process requirements of the metals industry. As a “national small giant” enterprise, we work closely with mill operators and original equipment manufacturers to develop cylinders that optimize performance for specific applications, such as hot strip mills, plate levelers, and shears. Our custom design process starts with a detailed assessment of the operating environment, including the type of contamination, temperature ranges, and dynamic loads. Based on this, we select materials and seal configurations that maximize service life. For example, for cylinders used in descaling units, we design with special rod coatings to resist the erosive effect of high-pressure water. For cylinders in caster sections, we focus on seal longevity and easy maintenance, often incorporating split-flange connections for faster disassembly. We also provide cylinders with integrated position feedback, such as magnetostrictive sensors housed in a protective tube, allowing for precise control of critical processes like mold level control. Our manufacturing facility is equipped to produce cylinders with long strokes and large bores, meeting the demands of the largest mill equipment. We maintain a comprehensive inventory of materials and components to support rapid customization and delivery. For customers looking to improve the reliability and maintainability of their mill equipment, our custom metallurgical cylinders offer a tailored solution. To discuss your specific needs and how our engineering expertise can benefit your operation, please contact us.

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 servo hydraulic cylinders are ideal for testing applications because they deliver precise, repeatable force and position control with low friction and high stiffness. We offer cylinders with integrated feedback sensors such as LVDTs or magnetostrictive probes, enabling closed-loop control for accurate test results. For high-frequency applications, we provide cylinders with hydrostatic bearings that offer zero friction and infinite wear life. Our cylinders are designed for the dynamic demands of materials testing, fatigue testing, and structural testing, ensuring reliable performance over millions of cycles.
Our double acting hydraulic presses incorporate multiple safety features to protect operators and equipment. These include light curtains or safety fencing, two-hand anti-tie-down controls, emergency stop buttons, overload protection devices, and hydraulic safety valves that prevent unintended movement in case of pressure loss. We also incorporate pressure relief valves, end-of-stroke cushioning, and audible alarms. All safety systems are designed to comply with relevant international safety standards and can be customized to meet specific customer requirements.
Yes, our hydraulic working platforms can be fully integrated with automation systems. As a leader in integrated mechanical-hydraulic-optical intelligent equipment, we equip our platforms with sensors for position, load, and status, along with PLC controls that communicate via industrial Ethernet protocols. This enables automated height adjustment, synchronized operation with other equipment, and real-time monitoring. Our platforms can be programmed with multiple preset positions and integrated into robotic work cells or fully automated production lines.

Customer Reviews

Carlos Mendez

We needed specialized metallurgical hydraulic cylinders for a walking beam furnace application, where the cylinders are exposed to extreme radiant heat and must operate reliably. Tianjin Uranus engineered cylinders with integrated water-cooling jackets and high-temperature seals that have performed exceptionally well. The cylinders have been in operation for over two years with no downtime related to cylinder failure. The custom design included special mounting brackets that simplified installation. The Uranus team was collaborative throughout the design process and delivered a solution that perfectly met our needs. Their expertise in metallurgical applications is evident.

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.
