Tianjin Uranus Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. offers a comprehensive range of heavy-duty metallurgical hydraulic cylinders designed for the most demanding applications in the metals industry, including large forging presses and continuous casters. Our cylinders are built to deliver high force, long stroke, and precise control in applications where performance is critical to product quality. For large forging presses, we design cylinders that can withstand extreme eccentric loads and provide the high tonnage required to shape large ingots. These cylinders feature massive cross-sections, precision-machined bearings, and advanced sealing to handle the high pressures and side loads. For continuous casting machines, our cylinders are used for mold oscillation and segment positioning, requiring smooth, consistent motion over millions of cycles. We offer cylinders with integrated hydraulic and electronic control systems, creating a complete actuation package that simplifies installation and improves reliability. Our in-house manufacturing capabilities allow us to produce cylinders with bores up to 800 mm and strokes exceeding 5,000 mm, with the precision required for these critical applications. We also provide comprehensive testing, including performance testing under simulated load conditions, to verify that each cylinder meets its specifications. For customers seeking a reliable, high-performance hydraulic cylinder for large-scale metallurgical equipment, our heavy-duty designs are an ideal choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of using your servo hydraulic cylinders in testing applications?

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
