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

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.
Yes, our hydraulic working platforms can be fully integrated with automation systems. As a leader in integrated mechanical-hydraulic-optical intelligent equipment, we equip our platforms with sensors for position, load, and status, along with PLC controls that communicate via industrial Ethernet protocols. This enables automated height adjustment, synchronized operation with other equipment, and real-time monitoring. Our platforms can be programmed with multiple preset positions and integrated into robotic work cells or fully automated production lines.
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.
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

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.
