Tianjin Uranus Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. provides custom hydraulic cylinders for the waste recycling and scrap processing industry, including scrap shears, balers, shredders, and material sorters. As a national intellectual property advantage enterprise with over 30 years of experience, we design cylinders that resist shock loads, abrasive debris, and corrosive fluids (such as battery acids). Our custom cylinders for scrap shears must generate extremely high forces (up to 1,000 tons) to cut through thick steel. These cylinders have very large bores (up to 500 mm) and short strokes, with heavy-duty construction to withstand impact. We use forged steel heads and caps, and the piston rod is induction-hardened to 60 HRC. The seal system includes a heavy-duty wiper and a metal scraper to remove metal chips. For a US-based scrap recycling company, we supplied a custom shear cylinder for a 1,000-ton guillotine shear. The cylinder has been in operation for over 12 years with only seal replacements. For scrap balers, we provide custom main cylinders that compress scrap into dense bales. These cylinders have long strokes (up to 2,500 mm) and operate at pressures up to 300 bar. We use tie-rod construction for easy maintenance, and we offer replaceable wear rings on the piston. For a European baler manufacturer, we supplied custom cylinders for a car baler, achieving a bale density of 800 kg/m³. The cylinders have a bore of 300 mm and a stroke of 2,000 mm, and they have achieved over 1 million cycles. For shredders, we provide custom cylinders for the feed ram and the grate positioning. These cylinders are exposed to heavy vibration and dust. We use bronze bearings and polyurethane seals, with an optional bellows cover to protect the rod. For a Chinese shredder manufacturer, we supplied custom feed cylinders that have been running for over 5 years in a 24/7 operation. Our manufacturing process includes 100 percent pressure testing, cycle testing, and inspection of rod hardness. We provide a detailed test report and a two-year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your typical lead time for custom hydraulic systems?

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 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.
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.
Yes, we specialize in upgrading and retrofitting existing hydraulic equipment. Our team can assess your current machinery and recommend modernizations to improve performance, energy efficiency, or reliability. This may include replacing outdated hydraulic systems with energy-efficient servo-driven systems, upgrading cylinders with integrated feedback for better control, or installing new hydraulic power units. We design retrofit solutions to integrate with your existing mechanical structure and control systems, minimizing downtime and maximizing the return on your investment.

Andrew Taylor

We needed a prototype custom hydraulic cylinder quickly for a new machine design. Tianjin Uranus was able to deliver a high-quality custom cylinder in just four weeks. The cylinder features a compact design with integrated manifolds and meets all our performance specifications. The Uranus team was responsive and provided excellent support throughout the process. The prototype has been performing well, and we plan to order production quantities from Uranus. Their ability to deliver custom cylinders quickly without compromising quality is impressive.

Dr. Mark Anderson

We needed a custom hydraulic cylinder with very specific requirements for a unique aerospace test fixture. Tianjin Uranus designed and manufactured a cylinder that perfectly met our specifications. The cylinder features a non-standard bore size, specialized mounting, and integrated position feedback. The engineering team was collaborative and provided detailed CAD models and simulations. The cylinder has been operating flawlessly for over a year. The quality of the machining and assembly is outstanding. I highly recommend Uranus for custom hydraulic cylinder projects.
