Master Cylinder
This master cylinder is the absolute heart of ultra-large forging press lines. Vertically installed at the center of the press crown, it extends its super-large-diameter plunger under high-pressure hydraulic oil to apply up to 80 MN of main forging force, driving the moving crosshead and upper anvil against the workpiece. It is used for upsetting, drawing, piercing, and closed-die forming in open-die, die-forging, and multi-directional forging processes. The single-acting plunger design features a maximum plunger diameter of 1,800 mm, making it one of the world’s most powerful hydraulic cylinders. Integrated wide bronze guide bushings, multi-layer V-pack seals, built-in magnetostrictive displacement sensors, and a progressive cushioning system, together with super-nut locking and optional booster cylinders/rotary unions, provide extremely smooth, precise, and long-lived main thrust output under the sustained extreme loads, radiant heat, and hammer-vibration conditions of industrial forging plants — truly the unbeating heart of 5,000-tonne-class and larger presses.
