This kit includes the MEDIUM length cylinder with ram stroke length of 250mm. The HS+40 250mm stroke length kits are available with 3 different pump sizes to give faster or slower rudder movements. The 'Hard Over to Hard Over time' for this kit with the 1.5 litre pump is 11 seconds.

The HS+40 hydraulic steering systems are designed specifically for marine secondary steering applications. They combine a hydraulic cylinder with clutch, reversing pump and reservoir in a compact installation. The solenoid clutch disengages the hydraulic circuit allowing manual mechanical steering to be used in conjunction with the hydraulic system.

Description

A pre-filled hydraulic system comprising a cylinder with clutch, pump and reservoir. The cylinder is free to float until the solenoid clutch is engaged, the reversing pump is then used to extend and retract it. Integral relief valves protect the installation from damage.

Application

Designed specifically for the marine autopilot market, they can be used on sailboats and power-craft with displacement and fast planing hulls. The pumps and cylinders can be matched to give the hard-over times and thrusts to suit the application. Further combinations using our 5 reversing pump sizes are also possible. Please refer to our data sheet PR-d for details of the reversing pump range.

Rudder Feedback Sensor

An integral rudder position sensor can be specified for the HS+40 range. See Order Code: R4660-a.
The sensor has no moving parts and is fitted directly to the cylinder, detecting the piston’s position.
The standard output signal is 0 to +5V, compatible with most autopilots.
