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.
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 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.

Marco Rossi

We installed Tianjin Uranus metallurgical hydraulic cylinders on our continuous casting machine three years ago, and they have been performing flawlessly. The cylinders are used for mold oscillation and segment positioning, requiring precise control and continuous operation. The high-temperature seals have maintained integrity despite the extreme heat, and the cylinders have not required any major repairs. The custom designs included heat shields and specialized porting for our hydraulic system. The Uranus engineering team was knowledgeable about the unique demands of continuous casting and provided excellent support. These cylinders have become our standard for mill applications.
