1.2.3 Hydraulic Drive Units
Two reversing hydraulic drive units are available
depending on the size of the vessel and the
displacement of the ram.
The vessel size and displacement
recommendations given below apply to directly
driven steering systems. When a power steering
system is fitted the vessel size and displacement
recommendations can be ignored.
Type 1 and Type 2
The hydraulic drive unit consists of a precision
gear pump with integral check valve block driven
by a continuously rated servo motor. The pump
drive motor is connected directly to the course
computer which also regulates peak pump
pressure.
