MXO SERIES NAUTICAL CYLINDERS
Grices MXO Series Marine Hydraulic Cylinders are the ideal technical solution for standard marine production, ensuring complete resistance to corrosion thanks to the AISI 316 stainless-steel tube and chrome-plated OT58 brass end caps. Designed for a continuous nominal pressure of 12 MPa, they feature high-performance elastomer and nitrile seals. Every actuator is validated through rigorous hydraulic testing. The available product codes are: MXO 40, MXO 50.
Grices MXO Series Marine Hydraulic Cylinders are a family of linear actuators specifically designed for integration into standard marine production systems. This series features an exceptionally clean and streamlined construction, developed to precisely meet the technical requirements of maritime and naval applications. These components are engineered to provide high resistance in saline environments while maintaining excellent mechanical performance under continuous hydraulic loads.
Environmental resistance is the primary requirement for components used in marine applications. To ensure complete resistance to corrosion, the cylinder tube and ground piston rod are manufactured entirely from AISI 316 stainless steel. This specific grade of stainless steel provides exceptional protection against oxidation in marine environments. The front and rear end caps are manufactured from chrome-plated OT58 brass. The combined use of AISI 316 stainless steel and chrome-plated brass gives the mechanical structure outstanding resistance to chemical aggression, preserving the integrity of the cylinder over time.
In terms of hydraulic performance, the cylinders are designed to withstand a nominal pressure of 12 MPa under continuous operation. The structural system can withstand operating stresses and pressure peaks of up to a maximum of 16 MPa. In dimensional terms, the series is available in two main bore sizes: 40 mm and 50 mm. Both bore sizes support highly scalable mechanical strokes of up to 1000 mm, depending on the specific application requirements.
The containment of pressurised fluids and maintenance of operating parameters are entrusted to a premium sealing system. The integrated sealing elements are made from a specific elastomer and nitrile compound engineered to provide high hydraulic sealing performance. These seals are sourced exclusively from leading manufacturers in the sector. This ensures not only outstanding technical performance but also immediate international availability of replacement parts for future scheduled maintenance operations.
The production process includes rigorous quality controls supported by the use of state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment. To guarantee high reliability standards and maximum product service life, 100% of the cylinders manufactured undergo strict hydraulic testing before release. For correct identification during purchasing, the ordering format requires the model code followed directly by the stroke length in millimetres, for example MXO 40/500 for a component with a 40 mm bore and 500 mm stroke.
