1.2.2 LINEAR DRIVE UNIT
The output ram of the linear drive unit is driven
by a declutchable re-circulating ball leadscrew
which enables the drive unit to .be permanently
coupled to the rudder stock via a simple crank
or tiller arm. The drive is automatically engaged
by means of an internal friction clutch when the
autopilot is switched to Duty and will
disengage instaltly even under heavy load
when the autopilot is switched to Set or Off.

1.2.3 HYDRAULIC DRIVE UNIT
The hydraulic drive unit consists of a precision
gear pump with integral valve block driven by a
continuously rated servo motor. A special
pressure balance valve corrects the effects of
hydraulic slip and isolates the pump from the
steering circuit when the autopilot is not
energised.
