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.
Lead times for custom hydraulic systems vary depending on the complexity, size, and specifications of the system. Standard custom cylinders may have lead times of 4 to 8 weeks, while complete custom hydraulic systems or large presses may require 12 to 20 weeks. We work closely with clients to establish realistic schedules and can often provide expedited options for urgent needs. Our manufacturing facility is equipped to handle both rapid prototyping and large-scale production, allowing us to balance speed with quality.

Customer Reviews

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.

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.
