Hydraulic cylinder applications and durability requirements in rolling mills, furnaces, and continuous casting lines.
Sector Requirements
In iron and steel plants, hydraulic cylinders generate enormous forces in rolling presses, furnace doors, gripper mechanisms, and material handling systems. Operating temperatures can exceed 80°C.
These conditions require high-temperature gaskets, reinforced bodies, and heavy-duty wipers beyond standard cylinders.
Durability Requirements
24/7 continuous operation, high cycle counts, and extremely dusty environments shorten cylinder life. Viton gaskets and hardened piston rods are standard requirements in this sector.
Since the cost per tonne of unplanned downtime is very high, a preventive maintenance programme is mandatory.
