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.

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.

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.
