Frequently Asked Questions

What does pressure compensating mean?

Pressure compensating means the internal pressure of a subsea device is actively balanced against the surrounding water pressure, preventing seawater ingress. In oil-compensated systems like the 260cc Oil Compensator, a rolling diaphragm and spring maintain 0.7 to 1 bar of positive internal pressure over the full oil volume, protecting sensitive electronics and mechanical components at depths up to 6000 m.

What depth ratings are available for your pressure compensation systems?

What type of oil is compatible with the 260cc Oil Compensator?

Do the self-compensated actuators require external pressure compensation hardware?

How is oil level monitored in the 260cc Oil Compensator?

What communication protocols do the self-compensated actuators support?

Are CAD drawings and technical documentation available for these products?
