Hydraulic lift cylinders operating in foundries, die-casting plants, heat treatment furnaces, and steel mill environments face a temperature challenge that is the mirror image of the cold-weather problem \u2014 instead of seals that become too rigid, they face seals that soften and extrude; instead of oil that is too viscous, they must contend with oil that thins to the point of losing film strength. Above 80\u00b0C continuous operating temperature, standard mineral hydraulic oil begins to oxidise and lose its viscosity characteristics; above 100\u00b0C, standard elastomeric seals begin to harden from heat aging; above 150\u00b0C ambient, fire-resistant hydraulic fluid becomes mandatory. This guide covers specification elements for hydraulic lift cylinders in high-temperature foundry, metallurgical, and heat-treatment applications.<\/p>\n

OIL DEGRADATION<\/p>\n

80\u00b0C continuous<\/p>\n

Standard mineral oil oxidation rate doubles for every 10\u00b0C above 60\u00b0C \u2014 above 80\u00b0C continuous, change interval must be halved<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

FIRE-RESISTANT FLUID<\/p>\n

Above 150\u00b0C ambient<\/p>\n

HFA, HFB, HFC or HFDU fire-resistant hydraulic fluid mandatory when ambient exceeds 150\u00b0C near the lift cylinder<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

FKM SEAL LIMIT<\/p>\n

+200\u00b0C<\/p>\n

FKM (Viton) seals rated to +200\u00b0C continuous \u2014 the highest temperature elastomeric seal available for hydraulic lift cylinders<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

RADIATION SHIELDING<\/p>\n

Mandatory foundry<\/p>\n

Radiant heat from molten metal pouring can exceed 800\u00b0C at close range \u2014 all exposed lift cylinder components need shielding<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
