Advancedcompensators
Highly reliable subsea compensator range based on a solid mechanical design
Subsea compensator range that incorporates 15 years of field feedback
The advanced series represents a number of hydraulic compensators that feature time-proven, highly reliable, and solid designs. They incorporate 15 years of experience and (field) feedback. Because of their high reliability and capability to cope with harsh operating conditions, we applied these compensators successfully in many of our own ROVs and other subsea vehicles.
In addition to our hydraulic compensators, we also deliver complete subsea (hydraulic) solutions. Please contact our sales department to discuss your particular challenge.
- Typical applications
-
- Subsea equipment operating in harsh subsea environments. Typical applications include trenchers, ROVs, subsea excavators, submerged hydraulic dredging equipment, oil-filled electronics cabinets
- Key features
-
- Highly reliable thanks to solid mechanical design
- High degree of customization
- Facilitates relatively large (over)pressures
- Applied to
-
- Fall pipe ROV – ROV 6
- Fall pipe ROV – ROV 7
- Fall pipe ROV – Flintstone
To ensure that the right size and type of compensator is selected, we advise our clients during the selection process. We do so, taking temperature ranges, pressure ranges, filling levels, entrapped air, fluid behaviors, and other factors into account.
Key Features
-
Highly reliable through solid mechanical design
Enabled by carefully selected materials, optimised mechanical design, and incorporation of numerous years of field feedback and experience.
-
High degree of customization
The advanced range can be configured depending on your application and requirements. Adjustments can be made with variations in hydraulic connections, electric connectors, oil level measurement, relief valves, discharge collectors, mounting components, required quality standards and classifications, and maximum operating depths.
-
Facilitates relatively large (over)pressures
Because of our compensators’ solid mechanical designs, relatively large overpressures can be applied to the hydraulic system. This results in significant benefits, such as easier air extraction and a decreased risk of seawater ingress.
Other Features
- Transparent housing allows for visual oil condition inspection
- Durable design through well considered material selection
- Able to cope with extreme temperatures (and fluctuations)
- Available with low/low-low indication or highly accurate oil level measurement
- Virtually any data communication interface possible

The top and bottom plate are made from stainless steel 316L. This ensures leakage free hydraulic connections over the long-term, even when applied at vibration intensive subsea equipment.
Related components
Basic Series
A range of cost-effective underwater pressure compensators that feature a light-weight design and volumes ranging from 0.6 to 6 litres. Because mass constitutes an important criterion in the construction of ROVs, our light-weight basic series compensators are a perfect match for ROV applications.
Ultralong lifetime series
Hydraulic compensators for permanent subsea applications, such as a control fluid reservoir for subsea production systems. Thanks to their ingenious design, a minimum of moving parts is exposed to sea water, which results in a compensator lifetime of over 20 years. Compensator capacities range from 0.7 to 250 litres.
