Heave Compensation Cylinders

Whether your heave compensation system needs to be active or passive, the most important aspect relates to its ability to withstand the strong natural forces and harsh offshore conditions. Large hydraulic cylinders from Van Halteren Technologies are designed to resist heavy wear and tear that is caused by these harsh conditions. For example, riser tensioner cylinders and heave compensation cylinders operate efficiently because of their quality large hydraulic cylinders.

Riser Tensioner Cylinders

Riser tensioner cylinders are hydraulic or pneumatic components commonly used in offshore drilling systems. 

 

Riser tensioner cylinder      Example
Piston diameter 560 mm
Piston rod diameter 230 mm
Stroke length 16,300 mm
Function Stabilizing drill string by compensating motion

Jacking Cylinders

Depending on the requirements, and based on the type of work and the environmental conditions, the choice between various platform concepts may lead to jack up platforms. Van Halteren Technologies develops drive and control systems for various jacking system types and sizes, which are used in numerous self elevating platforms (SEPs). Not only that, Van Halteren Technologies can provide state of the art large hydraulic cylinders that are used in both rack & pinion installations and positive engagement systems for offshore and inland applications.

Jack-Up Cylinders

Jack-up cylinders are essential components in offshore drilling rigs.

 

Jack up cylinder Example
Piston diameter 600 mm
Piston rod diameter    280 mm
Stroke length 3,150 mm
Function Lowering / lifiting the legs

Skidding Cylinders

The process of skidding oil platforms involves having an excellent and reliable x-y skidding system. Part of having an excellent skidding system depends on the quality of the hydraulic cylinders. Large hydraulic cylinders from Van Halteren Technologies are reliable, accurate and of excellent quality.

Deck Mating Cylinders

Transporting and installing offshore platforms is all about force and precision. Knowledge of the procedures and experience with the often hostile maritime conditions is crucial. Like no one else, Van Halteren Technologies is capable of engineering state of the art technology for elevating, transporting, positioning and installing extreme heavy loads. Worldwide float-over barges, floating cranes and special vessels have been equipped with Van Halteren Technologies large hydraulic cylinders.

Next to these offshore applications, we also offer cylinders for civil applications.
