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.

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.

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.

Engineered to Withstand Extreme Heat, Shock, and Contamination

Engineered to Withstand Extreme Heat, Shock, and Contamination

Reflecting on more than thirty years of specialized field engineering across steel production plants and foundries, we know that premature cylinder failure is most often driven by cumulative thermal fatigue and severe side-loading. To overcome these destructive forces, our metallurgical hydraulic cylinders combine heavy-wall alloy tubing, forged components, and induction-hardened, hard-chrome-plated rods designed to withstand relentless shock loads. Adhering to strict fluid power design standards for extreme industrial environments, these cylinders feature multi-lip high-temperature seals and optional ceramic thermal-barrier coatings. For extreme radiant zones, integrated water-cooling jackets provide active temperature stabilization. Backed by empirical test data and decades of metallurgical expertise, these robust actuators maximize uptime in continuous casting strands, rolling mills, and harsh furnace applications.
