Problem/Solution/Result

Maritime Dynamics Marine Controls

  • Problem: Maritime Dynamics needed a compact hydraulic power unit and control valve system that could withstand the rigors of the sea and be easily serviced anywhere in the world.
  • Solution: Engineered and manufactured custom power unit and valve manifold assembly utilizing space efficient components and corrosion resistant materials.
  • Result: The compact power unit and manifold assembly weigh less and take up less space, while reducing potential leak points.  Maritime Dynamics can troubleshoot the system without having to dispatch a field service technician overseas or send unnecessary parts.
Maritime Ship

How we did it.

Maritime HPU

The custom 5HP hydraulic power unit and manifold assembly are designed to operate at up to 7 G´s, or seven times the force of gravity, for use on Fast Interceptor boats.

Maritime Tfoil

Dual T-foils help to stabilize the ship in rough water even when the ship is not moving.

How we did it.

  • Designed assemblies and selected components for easy troubleshooting and servicing anywhere in the world.  The Sun Hydraulics custom manifold´s multiple test points and efficient design permits Maritime Dynamics to troubleshoot more system problems with a phone call rather than a trip overseas.  The Sun cartridge valves can be quickly changed and reduce potential leak points because they eliminate the need for hose and pipe connections.
  • Incorporated marine friendly materials and custom components including light weight aluminum fabrication, marine epoxy paint and a salt water-to-oil heat exchanger.  The hydraulic power unit utilizes an efficient layout that encloses many components, such as the pump, filter and heat exchanger inside the reservoir to save space and protect them from the marine environment.
  • Utilized Sun's 5-axis compound manifold drilling and floating cartridge valve construction for a compact design with fewer potential leak points.  The 5-axis manifold drilling process requires less material, no construction plugs and results in extremely low pressure drops.  The manifold assembly incorporates multiple Sun cartridge valves, an ATOS proportional control valve and an accumulator in one package resulting in less space and weight, with no external hoses or piping.
