In the industrial automation sector, linear modules are playing an increasingly important role thanks to their precision, smooth motion, and superior customization compared to traditional systems.
At the same time, shipbuilding and marine engineering are showing interest in linear and actuator-based systems, particularly in applications requiring controlled motion, long-term reliability, and reduced maintenance.
In this context, Meccania transfers its proven industrial design methodologies into complex operational environments such as yacht construction and refit stages.
Meccania linear modules, built from machined profiles up to 12 m long with high precision, can be configured as single-axis systems, multi-axis systems (XY / XYZ), or gantry structures.
The modular approach allows adaptation to the operating environment, even in limited spaces or customized applications.
From Industrial Design to Marine Engineering
Increasingly often, applications such as hatches, tender garages, movable platforms, retractable systems, or internal handling require components pre-engineered for motorization and functional integration.
Meccania linear modules, equipped with linear guides and optimized transmission systems, are designed to integrate with the actuation technologies selected by the client or designer — including linear motor modules for rapid or independent movements on multiple carriages.
Why Choose a Mechanical Solution
Compared to traditional hydraulic systems commonly used in marine applications, configurations based on linear actuators or linear-axis systems offer key advantages: better motion control, clean operation (no fluids), easier integration with digital systems, and lower maintenance needs.
This makes them particularly appealing to shipyards and system integrators managing technically advanced projects.
Engineering Approach and Design Support
Another distinctive feature is Meccania’s working method. The company does not simply supply components but develops each application as a complete technical project, analysing loads, duty cycles, and integration modes.
This approach ensures targeted responses to operational needs, maintaining compatibility with existing systems and allowing for future evolutions.
Bridging Industry and Marine Sectors
Bringing a proven industrial automation technology into the marine field means offering new
opportunities in mechanical efficiency and process fluidity.
It is precisely this adaptability that makes Meccania systems an excellent choice in environments
where precision, reliability, and flexibility are critical requirements.
