Hydraulics for the defence industry and harsh environments

We deliver technology solutions that meet the high demands of defence and military operations.

Hydraulics for the defence industry - reliability and dependability in crisis

We deliver technical solutions that meet the high demands of defence and military operations. With a focus on availability and reliability, we offer components, service and spare parts with short lead times. Through high-tech expertise and continuous innovation, HydX is a reliable partner - even in critical situations.

Advanced hydraulic and control systems for the defence industry

With deep technical expertise in hydraulics, valve blocks, control systems, electronics and electrification, HydX is a reliable technology partner to the defence industry. We develop certified hydraulics, military hydraulic systems, and redundant hydraulic solutions with short lead times and high reliability characteristics that are crucial in military and safety-critical applications. Sweden is a world leader in the development of AIP submarines (non-nuclear air-independent submarines) and one of the few countries in the world to develop its own fighter aircraft, which requires suppliers with innovative power, discretion and cutting-edge expertise.

HydX has been part of the Swedish defence cooperation for almost two decades, and we challenge our customers with curiosity and high technical competence to create the defence technology of the future. We are not just a supplier, but also contribute to the development of world-leading systems.

Robust hydraulic solutions for the defence sector

For the operational capability of the Swedish Armed Forces, the supply of materials is of the utmost importance. Military vehicles and ships operate in some of the world's most demanding environments. Battle boats must withstand salt water, shock, vibration and extreme temperature changes - without systems failing. Hydraulics and control systems for military applications need to be corrosion-resistant, redundant and fully functional even under heavy loads.

Space and weight are often limited, requiring compact and integrated technologies with a high power-to-size ratio. Systems need to be responsive, accurate and reliable - even in situations where power supply, maintenance or spare parts are limited. At the same time, there are increasing demands for electrification, hybrid solutions and quiet operation.

Swedish innovative technology at the forefront

Swedish defence technology requires robust, compact and reliable systems for extreme environments. As a supplier to these applications, HydX must be one step ahead. We develop certified hydraulics for military use, adapted for high demands on reliability and durability. While we stand for a safe and proven way of working, we also contribute to modern innovations. We develop and deliver control systems and electrified solutions that strengthen performance and future-proof operations in the defence industry.

Hydraulic systems for the defence industry need to be robust, reliable and functional under extreme conditions, such as salt water, vibrations, shocks and rapid temperature changes. Systems must also be compact and maintenance-optimised to fit in tight spaces with limited access.

Yes, we work with certified hydraulics and have experience in developing solutions that meet the defence industry's requirements for quality, traceability and confidentiality.

Combining hydraulics with electric systems creates hybrid solutions with better energy efficiency, lower noise levels and improved controllability, which is beneficial for both future environmental requirements and modern warfare. HydX is an expert in hydraulics, electronics and electrification. We provide solutions that meet the defence industry's requirements for performance, reliability, and technical future-proofing.

Automation in the defence sector enables faster reaction times, increased precision and reduced need for manual intervention in complex environments — these range from automated weapons control to remotely operated vehicles and stabilised platforms. Hydraulics play a key role in these systems by delivering power, responsiveness and positional accuracy integrated with advanced control systems for reliable and precise operation even under extreme conditions.
