Heavy-Duty Metallurgical Hydraulic Cylinders | Tianjin Uranus

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.
