Direct drive in combination with rack and
pinion system
In principle the installation in combination with a rack and
pinion system is the same as the standard installation except for
the fact that the complete setup is rotated with the steering offset
angle β.
First install the rack and pinion system with the correct
geometry, put the rudder amidships and find the line
perpendicular to the tiller lever center line. Put the drive on a
parallel line with an offset distance as in below table. Rotate the
drive lever to the same offset angle as the steering system offset
angle β and mount the draglink.
Operating centers in mm valid for 72° (2x36°) rudder travel.
