The Actuator type of steering gear provides the reliability
and redundancy required for many naval applications,
and uses two actuator systems to provide single rudder
operation. With one actuator bypassed, 50 per cent of
the torque is still available.
The steering gear is available with pressure-compensated
or proportional systems
The actuator design means fewer interface surfaces
with the ship as the anchor brackets can be welded directly
onto the hull cartridge, which also makes installation
less tolerance critical.
Features and benefits
- Maximum redundancy for continued safe operation
- Can be configured to meet specific requirements
- Available with pressure compensated or proportional
hydraulics
A seven model range is available for torques from 3.5
to 50 tonne metres. All models can be configured to
meet specific requirements.
