Defence Industry

Hydraulic systems for the defence industry need to be robust, reliable and functional under extreme conditions, such as salt water, vibrations, shocks and rapid temperature changes. Systems must also be compact and maintenance-optimised to fit in tight spaces with limited access.

Combining hydraulics with electric systems creates hybrid solutions with better energy efficiency, lower noise levels and improved controllability, which is beneficial for both future environmental requirements and modern warfare. HydX is an expert in hydraulics, electronics and electrification. We provide solutions that meet the defence industry's requirements for performance, reliability, and technical future-proofing.

Automation in the defence sector enables faster reaction times, increased precision and reduced need for manual intervention in complex environments — these range from automated weapons control to remotely operated vehicles and stabilised platforms. Hydraulics play a key role in these systems by delivering power, responsiveness and positional accuracy integrated with advanced control systems for reliable and precise operation even under extreme conditions.

Yes, we work with certified hydraulics and have experience in developing solutions that meet the requirements for quality, traceability and confidentiality.

Yes. HydX offers pre-assembly services where we assemble components and subsystems into finished units that can be integrated directly into the customer’s production. For companies in the defence industry, this can be an effective way to scale up production quickly while reducing complexity in their own assembly processes.

With large assembly areas, experienced technicians and the ability to test and verify solutions in our own test benches, we deliver robust and quality-assured solutions ready to be installed directly in the customer’s production line.

Most of the components used in HydX systems are supplied by partners with manufacturing in Europe. This provides shorter and more resilient supply chains, improved traceability and high delivery reliability. In a time marked by geopolitical uncertainty and increasing demands for supply security, this is an important foundation for delivering robust and long-term reliable solutions to our customers.

HydX offers flexible logistics solutions tailored to each customer’s production and operational needs. With warehousing and assembly in our newly built facilities in Ystad, we can handle everything from spare parts inventory to sequenced deliveries and pre-assembled units delivered just-in-time. By taking greater responsibility for the material flow, we reduce complexity in the customer’s production and ensure high delivery precision.
