Steel mills demand mill-type cylinders that can take the force and the heat 🔥 literally.
Cowan’s R3 Series Hydraulic Cylinders, rated to 3000 PSI, is built for harsh, high-force applications such as lamination presses and mill automation.
Every cylinder is performance-engineered for reliability:
✅ Thick-wall mill-type construction for high pressure and side-load stability
✅ PolyPak piston seal with dual PTFE rod seals for long service life under heavy load
✅ Dual wipers and metallic scraper to keep debris and scale out
✅ Cushioned options for smooth deceleration and shock-load protection
✅ Custom mounts (trunnion, clevis, flange) for OEM fit and retrofit integration
When the environment is unforgiving and downtime is not an option, steel mills choose Cowan Dynamics.
