ML+40-8 compact marine autopilot Electro Hydraulic Linear Actuator
The ML+40-8 at full extension is only 840mm long allowing it to be mounted in tighter confines than the standard ML+40. It combines our 1.5 L/min pump and 50w motor which develops up to 350kg of thrust whilst typically drawing only 14 amps. This allows it to be used with smaller course computers making this an economical solution for the smaller vessel. Depending on vessel weight, sail plan and rudder forces the new actuator is suitable for sailing yachts of up to 45 feet (15 m).
The compact actuator comes with all the advantages of its larger stable-mate the ML+40. All the elements (pump, cylinder and reservoir) of a hydraulic circuit come together in one compact unit. It also contains integral relief valves to protect from rudder strikes etc. and anti-cavitation valves as standard.
It comes supplied with a special quick release mounting and M12 tiller bolt along with all the necessary fasteners and fixings.
The ML+40-8 has an environmental protection rating of IP67 and conforms to BS EN 60945 for EMC and BS EN 28846 for ignition protection.
