I am looking for a feedback ram to be used on a submerged robot. Preliminare estimates are for a ~2 inch bore; wiper based sensor; 8 inches of travel; about 500-1000 psi system pressure. Operating depth will be down to 1500 meters (~2200 psi).

I have looked at Penny & Giles, and Parker. Has anyone used either in a salt water environment? Any other manufacturer would be appreciated as well.

All I can suggest is that you install them with quick- connects, so you can just use 'em up and replace them quickly.
