Single Steering Position
- One steering pump with or without built-in non-return valves
- One cylinder
- Hydraulic tubing (plus accessory fittings as required)
- Hydraulic fluid
Dual Steering Position
- Two steering pumps with built-in non-return valves
- Alternatively: two steering pumps without non-return valves, in which case
a separate dual non-return valve block must be fitted
- One cylinder
- Hydraulic tubing (plus accessory fittings as required)
- Hydraulic fluid
Hydraulic steering systems with axial piston pump.
Careful attention to detail and modern technology enable us to offer truly
top-class hydraulic steering systems.
Construction
Our hydraulic steering systems consist of a hydraulic pump and cylinder,
connected by means of tubes (copper, steel or nylon). The pump is of the
axial piston type, with small pistons inside, which are directly actuated by
the steerign wheel; certainly not the cheapest, but the only good system for
safe and reliable hand-hydraulic steering. The cylinder os of the
double-acting type and mounted on a base, allowing it to swing according to
the arc described by the rudder tiller.
Operation
The manually operated system creates its hydraulic power through rotation of
the steering wheel. It does not depend on the electric or propulsion system
of the boat for its energy.
Quality
All parts are manufactured to the highest standards and of the best
materials, for long service life, corrosion resistance and operating
efficiency. Nearly 40 years of experience in this field gives us an
undisputed lead over many others.
Installation
This is a very simple matter. All that is required is to connect the pump to
the cylinder by means of copper, steel or nylon tubes.
Maintenance
Once the steering is properly installed, only minimal maintenance is
necessary.
Automatic Pilot
Our hydraulic steerings can be used to advantage together with an automatic
pilot. |
