The metallurgy industry is characterized by harsh operating conditions, high-precision requirements, and complex equipment demands—all of which call for specialized hydraulic solutions. Tianjin Uranus Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd., a leading provider of hydraulic transmission products with over 30 years of experience, excels in delivering non-standard hydraulic products that meet the unique OEM/ODM needs of metallurgy equipment. As a "National Small Giant Enterprise" and "National High-Tech Enterprise," Tianjin Uranus combines technical expertise, robust production capabilities, and a client-centric approach to redefine reliability in metallurgy hydraulic systems.
Founded in 1992, Tianjin Uranus has grown into a comprehensive enterprise with subsidiaries in Shanghai and Tianjin, covering a 45,000-square-meter production base and boasting an annual output value of 200-300 million yuan. Its commitment to quality is underscored by certifications including ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018, ensuring every non-standard product adheres to global standards. With 50 patents (27 invention patents and 23 utility model patents) and plans for 7 more in 2024, the company has independently developed 38 product series—7 of which are recognized as national JB/ZQ heavy machinery standards—solidifying its position as a trusted partner for metallurgy equipment manufacturers.
In the metallurgy sector, precision and durability are non-negotiable. Tianjin Uranus addresses these needs through a range of non-standard hydraulic products tailored for key metallurgy processes:
- AGC Servo Hydraulic Cylinders: Automatic Gauge Control (AGC) systems are critical for maintaining consistent steel plate thickness in rolling mills. Tianjin Uranus’ AGC servo cylinders feature high response speeds (up to 500Hz) and ultra-low hysteresis, enabling real-time adjustments to rolling pressure. Customized with high-strength alloy cylinders and precision sealing components, these cylinders withstand the continuous vibration and high-pressure environments of hot rolling lines, ensuring stable gauge control for high-quality steel production.
- Mold Servo Hydraulic Cylinders: Used in continuous casting machines, these cylinders regulate mold oscillation to prevent steel adhesion and ensure uniform solidification. Tianjin Uranus designs them with variable frequency control and wear-resistant piston rods, adapting to the high-temperature (up to 1,200℃) and dusty conditions of casting processes. The OEM solutions can be tailored to different mold sizes and oscillation frequencies, matching the specific production lines of metallurgy clients.
- Leveler Cylinder Blocks: Levelers are essential for flattening steel plates post-rolling, and their cylinder blocks bear extreme loads. Tianjin Uranus’ non-standard leveler cylinder blocks are forged from high-carbon steel and undergo precision heat treatment, achieving a tensile strength of over 1,200MPa. With customized bore sizes and mounting interfaces, they seamlessly integrate with various leveler models, reducing maintenance downtime for metallurgy plants.
- Gear Rack Rotary Hydraulic Cylinders: These cylinders enable precise rotation of heavy components like furnace covers and ladle turrets in metallurgy facilities. Tianjin Uranus optimizes their gear-rack engagement for minimal backlash (≤0.1mm) and equips them with high-temperature-resistant lubricants, ensuring reliable operation in environments with temperatures exceeding 800℃. The ODM service allows for adjustments to rotation angles and torque outputs, meeting the unique layout requirements of different metallurgy workshops.
- Rotary Expansion and Contraction Cylinders: Used in coilers and uncoilers for steel strip processing, these cylinders expand or contract to secure coils during winding. Tianjin Uranus’ design features multi-segmented expansion sleeves and precise pressure control, accommodating coil diameters ranging from 500mm to 2,000mm. The non-standard solutions are engineered to handle high rotational speeds (up to 1,500 rpm) and prevent coil slippage, enhancing efficiency in cold rolling operations.
- Ladle Lifting Hydraulic Cylinders: Ladles, which transport molten steel, require cylinders with exceptional load-bearing capacity. Tianjin Uranus’ ladle lifting cylinders have a rated pressure of 31.5MPa and a maximum lifting capacity of 500 tons, customized with double-acting piston designs for smooth lifting and lowering. The cylinders are coated with anti-corrosion materials to resist molten steel splatters and harsh metallurgy chemicals, extending service life by up to 30% compared to standard products.
Tianjin Uranus’ OEM/ODM process for metallurgy non-standard hydraulic products is streamlined to meet tight project timelines. It begins with in-depth collaboration: the company’s engineers analyze clients’ metallurgy equipment specs, production workflows, and environmental conditions to develop 3D designs using advanced PDM software. Prototypes undergo rigorous testing—including pressure cycling, high-temperature endurance, and corrosion resistance trials—before full-scale production. With ERP systems managing inventory and production schedules, Tianjin Uranus ensures on-time delivery, even for large-batch orders.
The company’s non-standard hydraulic solutions have been adopted by metallurgy giants across 20+ countries, including the U.S., Germany, and Japan. For example, a Chinese steel mill specializing in high-strength automotive steel partnered with Tianjin Uranus to customize AGC servo cylinders and ladle lifting cylinders. The tailored solutions reduced steel plate thickness deviations by 15% and ladle maintenance costs by 20%, boosting the mill’s production efficiency and product quality.
As the metallurgy industry evolves toward smarter, more efficient operations, Tianjin Uranus continues to innovate its non-standard hydraulic offerings. Its R&D team is exploring integration with IoT sensors for real-time performance monitoring, further enhancing the reliability and predictive maintenance capabilities of its products.
