Hydraulic System Design

We design complete hydraulic systems from the specification up – cylinders, power units, circuits, actuators and pipework – engineered and documented as one coherent package for any industry.

End-to-End System Design

Our many years in the hydraulics industry cover every part of the design chain. We size and select the components, design the circuit, the power unit, the cylinders or rotary actuators and the pipework, and pull them together into a system that meets your performance, envelope and duty requirements.

A Partner, Not Just a Supplier

We see ourselves as a design partner. We work to your specification and to BS and ISO standards, and we bring practical experience of manufacture, assembly and maintenance to bear so the finished system is buildable, serviceable and fit for purpose.

Calculations & Approval

Where a system includes cylinders, we provide rod buckling and burst pressure calculations and can prepare full calculation packages for CAT3 checkers and third-party inspectors including ABS, DNV and Lloyd's Register.

Applications & Sectors

We have worked on hydraulic systems across military, nuclear, civil engineering, water treatment, Formula One, offshore marine, subsea, chemical and food-industry projects, and are happy to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does hydraulic system design include?

It covers the whole system – component sizing and selection, circuit design, the power unit, cylinders or rotary actuators, and the pipework – engineered and documented together so everything works as one.

Can you design a complete system from just a specification?

Yes. We can take a functional specification and develop the complete system design, or work from an existing concept, all the way through to manufacturing and installation documentation.

Do you provide calculations for the system's cylinders?

Yes. We provide rod buckling and burst pressure calculations and full calculation packages suitable for CAT3 checkers and third-party inspectors such as ABS, DNV and Lloyd's Register.
