Marine Electro – Hydraulic Dual – Cylinder Steering Gear
Our high – performance dual – cylinder electro – hydraulic Marine Steering Gear is a cutting – edge solution that offers dependable rudder control for a wide variety of vessels. Whether navigating through fast – flowing rivers, coastal waters, or inland routes, this steering gear ensures smooth and accurate steering. It is specifically engineered for fishing boats and small passenger vessels, providing excellent maneuverability even in the event of a power failure, thus enhancing the safety and operational efficiency of these watercraft.
Key Components and Their Functions
Hydraulic Actuation System
- Two Piston Cylinders with Synchronized Movement: These twin piston cylinders work in perfect harmony to deliver consistent and powerful steering force. The synchronized movement ensures that the rudder responds precisely to the steering commands, enabling smooth turns and stable navigation. This feature is crucial for maintaining control in challenging water conditions.
- Dual Oil Pump Units (1 Operational + 1 Standby): The dual – pump setup provides an added layer of reliability. While one pump is actively supplying hydraulic fluid to the system for normal operation, the other serves as a standby unit. In case the operational pump fails, the standby pump can be quickly activated, ensuring uninterrupted steering functionality.
- Hydraulic Reserve Tank (Emergency Oil Supply): The hydraulic reserve tank acts as a safety net during emergencies. It stores additional hydraulic oil that can be drawn upon when the main supply is depleted or in the event of a sudden increase in demand. This emergency oil supply helps maintain the steering gear’s performance during critical situations, such as power outages or unexpected load changes.
Control System
- Wheelhouse Hand Wheel (Manual Override): The wheelhouse hand wheel offers a manual override option, allowing the operator to take direct control of the steering when needed. This is particularly useful in situations where the automated control system may encounter issues or when fine – tuning the steering is required. It provides a sense of control and flexibility to the operator.
- Solenoid Valve Switch (Direction Change): The solenoid valve switch is responsible for changing the direction of the hydraulic fluid flow, which in turn changes the direction of the rudder. This component enables quick and easy steering adjustments, allowing the vessel to turn left or right as required. Its precise operation ensures smooth and responsive steering.
- Emergency Manual Pump (Power Failure Backup): In the event of a complete power failure, the emergency manual pump comes into play. It allows the operator to manually generate hydraulic pressure to operate the steering gear, ensuring that the vessel can still be maneuvered to safety. This backup system is an essential safety feature for all types of vessels.
