Marine solutions below or above the water surface

Because hydraulic systems are closed, they work well even underwater. One challenge is the external water pressure, which places high demands on seals and shaft locks that must withstand pressure from two directions, both inside and outside. This problem does not exist on land. Another is the demanding and varying salinity of the water. In Sweden, the systems are often used in brackish water, while our global customers often use their applications in salt water. Both environments are corrosive and place high demands on material selection, seals and surface treatments. Our solutions are developed to deliver reliable performance in harsh marine environments, from Nordic coasts to tropical seas.

Yes, we develop remote-controlled hydraulic systems for marine cranes and other applications. We often use the same proven control systems that are used in our mobile solutions on land, but adapt them to cope with marine conditions such as moisture, salt water and varying temperatures. Most of our components have a high IP rating, up to IP 69, the highest classification for dust and water.

HydX hydraulic systems are used in a range of marine applications, from offshore and underwater robotics to ship systems and harbour facilities, both in Swedish waters and globally. Contact us and we will be happy to tell you more.

YYes, HydX control systems can be customised to operate in corrosive marine environments. We take proven mobile systems and modify them to meet challenges such as salt water, humidity and significant temperature variations. Our solutions are used in offshore, underwater robotics, ship systems and harbour facilities, both in brackish and salt water, in Sweden and internationally.
