Frequently Asked Questions

What is your experience in the metallurgical industry?

Tianjin Uranus has over 30 years of experience serving the metallurgical industry. We have supplied hydraulic cylinders and systems to steel mills and foundries for applications such as continuous casting, rolling mills, furnace equipment, and shears. Our products are designed to withstand the extreme conditions of this industry, including high temperatures, shock loads, and pervasive contamination. We understand the critical need for uptime in steel production and engineer our solutions for maximum reliability and serviceability in mill environments.
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.
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.
Our metallurgical hydraulic cylinders are specifically engineered for the extreme conditions found in steel mills and foundries. They feature robust construction with thick-walled tubing, heavy-duty rod ends, and high-temperature seals that maintain integrity in ambient temperatures exceeding 200°C. We use induction-hardened, chrome-plated rods for wear resistance, and offer ceramic coatings for applications with extreme abrasion from scale. Corrosion-resistant options are available for water-intensive environments. These cylinders are designed for continuous operation, high shock loads, and long service life in demanding mill applications.

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.

Heinz Mueller

Our hot strip mill has been using Tianjin Uranus metallurgical hydraulic cylinders for roll bending and positioning applications for the past five years. These cylinders operate in an extremely harsh environment with high temperatures, water spray, and heavy scale. The cylinders have proven to be exceptionally durable, with seal life far exceeding other brands we have used. The rod coatings resist abrasion, and the corrosion protection has prevented rust. The Uranus team provided custom cylinder designs with features specific to our mill, and their support has been outstanding. These cylinders have significantly reduced our maintenance downtime.
