What Are Steel Mill Hydraulic Cylinders?

Steel mill hydraulic cylinders, encompassing furnace cylinders and metallurgical hydraulic cylinders, are robust actuators that convert hydraulic fluid energy into linear mechanical force, tailored for the severe demands of steel production. Constructed from high-strength steel with heat-resistant coatings, these hydraulic cylinders for steel mills endure pressures up to 5000 PSI, high ambient temperatures, and abrasive dust, ensuring durability in applications like furnace tilting, continuous casting mold oscillation, and automatic gauge control (AGC) in rolling mills.
Compliant with ISO and DIN standards, our heavy-duty steel mill hydraulic cylinders feature low-friction seals (e.g., Hunger DFE seals) for stick-slip-free operation and integrated position measuring systems for precision. Customizable bore sizes (up to 1400mm), stroke lengths, and mounting options (e.g., flange, earring, tripod) meet specific steel mill requirements, while energy-efficient designs reduce power consumption. From steel smelting to rail beam production, our energy-efficient furnace cylinders and custom metallurgical hydraulic cylinders enhance operational reliability and longevity.

Steel Mill Hydraulic Cylinders Application

Furnace cylinders, a type of steel mill hydraulic cylinder, power furnace tilting systems in electric arc furnaces and blast furnaces, enabling precise tilting to pour molten steel. They operate in extreme heat (>100°C) and dusty environments, ensuring smooth, stick-slip-free movement.A steel smelting plant increased furnace tilting precision by 18% and reduced downtime by 12% with our durable steel mill hydraulic cylinders for furnace tilting.
Furnace Cylinder: Furnace Tilting Applications

Metallurgical hydraulic cylinders drive mold oscillation in continuous casting plants, preventing molten steel from sticking to the mold’s inner walls at frequencies up to 3 Hz. They ensure high-precision oscillation for superior steel surface quality.A continuous casting plant improved steel strand quality by 15% and extended cylinder service life to 6 years with our high-pressure metallurgical hydraulic cylinders for continuous casting.
Metallurgical Hydraulic Cylinder: Continuous Casting Mold Oscillation Applications

Metallurgical hydraulic cylinders, such as AGC cylinders, control roller adjustments in hot and cold rolling mills, achieving thickness accuracies of a few hundredths of a millimeter for sheet metal and rail beams. They withstand high-frequency operation and dusty conditions.A hot rolling mill reduced thickness deviations by 20% and improved production efficiency by 15% with our energy-efficient metallurgical hydraulic cylinders for hot rolling.

Steel Mill Hydraulic Cylinder Maintenance Guide
Extend the lifespan of your steel mill hydraulic cylinder, including furnace cylinders and metallurgical hydraulic cylinders, with these expert tips, ensuring reliability in harsh steel mill environments. Regular maintenance minimizes downtime and optimizes performance.
1
Inspect Regularly

Inspect your steel mill hydraulic cylinder quarterly for wear, corrosion, or damage on seals, rods, and fittings, focusing on dust or heat damage in furnace or rolling mill areas. Use a flashlight and magnifying glass to detect micro-cracks or leaks, and maintain a log.
2
Clean Thoroughly

Clean your furnace cylinder or metallurgical hydraulic cylinder after use with a low-pressure washer (1000-1500 PSI) to remove dust, slag, or grease. Dry with a microfiber cloth to prevent corrosion. Avoid high-pressure washing to protect heat-resistant seals.
3
Lubricate Properly
Apply high-temperature grease (e.g., Shell Gadus S3 V220C, Mobilgrease XHP 222) to rods, seals, and pivot points to minimize friction in high-heat environments. Ensure even coverage without over-application to avoid dust attraction. Reapply after cleaning or prolonged use.
4
Protect Against Environmental Damage

Apply corrosion-inhibiting spray to rods and exposed surfaces after use to shield against rust in dusty, high-heat steel mills. Store spare cylinders in a dry, covered area, using waterproof covers and retracting rods to minimize exposure.
5
Schedule Professional Service

Annual servicing by certified technicians ensures your metallurgical hydraulic cylinder operates efficiently. Professionals perform pressure tests, seal replacements, and fluid analysis (replacing filters as needed). Schedule during planned downtime to avoid disruptions.
