 HYDRAULIC STEERING SYSTEM

OUR TECHNOLOGY

Techno Italia is manufacturer of hydraulic steering system branded Hydrodrive. Our range has universal  applications from 75 Hp up to 400 Hp for inboard and outboard engines. We have also hydraulic steering system for racing boat, sail boats and catamarans. We do also manufacture hydraulic stick steering systems and we are able to manufacture special steering system upon client requirement.

Hydrodrive HSS are manufactured using technology from the aviation industry. The pump house comes from a single aluminum block, hardened and hot-pressed. The 10 mm thickness and the special material prevent leakage or oil film/fog formation even under extremely high working pressure. The 3 ball bearings in the pump ensure the outstanding precision and exceptionally smooth, consistent functioning. Each pump house is anodized and due to the surface treatment is resistant to the highly corrosive effects of sea. The cylinders are also made of cold drawn, hardened aluminum. The thick-walled cylinder is made of a special raw material with even higher tensile strength than the traditional bronze therefore tolerates high working pressure. As the pump house, also all the cylinders and parts are anodized and are resistant to the salt corrosion.

There is no reliability without quality, and quality is our benchmark. I like to emphasize we are so sure about our quality, and we are so confident with it that we give 3 years of warranty. Our data show the percentage of our Hydrodrive HSS replaced within the first 3 years is less than 0.1% and within the first 5 years is less than 0.3%. The durability average of our system is more than 8 years without maintenance.
