The mold oscillation cylinder is a vital component in continuous casting systems, specifically designed to drive the oscillating motion of the mold. This oscillating action is crucial for preventing molten metal from sticking to the mold wall, ensuring the smooth formation and surface quality of the cast slab. It operates with high precision and stability to maintain consistent oscillation parameters, which directly influence the overall efficiency and product quality of the continuous casting process.

In terms of application scenarios, it is primarily used in metallurgical continuous casting plants. During the continuous casting of steel and other metals, the mold needs to perform a reciprocating oscillating motion (usually sinusoidal or non-sinusoidal) as the molten metal solidifies and is pulled out. The mold oscillation cylinder provides the necessary power to drive this motion, adapting to different casting speeds and metal types to optimize the casting process. It is an indispensable part of ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the casting line.

For installation methods, there are two common options: flange mounting and trunnion mounting. Flange mounting involves securing the cylinder to the equipment frame via flanges at either end, providing a rigid and stable connection. Trunnion mounting, on the other hand, uses trunnions (short shafts) on the cylinder barrel for installation, allowing for some angular movement to accommodate slight misalignments during operation.

In terms of structural forms, it is available in single-acting and double-acting types. The single-acting type relies on external forces (such as springs) for return after extending, while the double-acting type uses hydraulic pressure for both extension and retraction, offering more precise control over the oscillation cycle. As for output types, it mainly features rod output, where the piston rod extends and retracts to drive the mold's oscillating mechanism through a linkage system.

Optional accessories include a displacement sensor, which accurately detects the piston rod's position to monitor and adjust the oscillation amplitude and frequency in real-time, ensuring precise motion control. Additionally, a cushioning device can be equipped to reduce impact and vibration during the cylinder's movement, extending the service life of both the cylinder and the connected components.
