Manual - Hydraulic Drive System
In manual drive system, which is opted by 95% of the medium and small vessels,A steering wheel made of 'anjili' wood or stainless steel will have a keyed hub to drive a steering column.steering column will be fastened at one end to the steering wheel and other end to the spline drive of helmpump. By rotating the steering wheel ,a driver can effortlessly pump oil to the system.
Balanced Hydraulic Actuator
A Balanced Hydraulic Linear Actuator is planned, to turn the Tiller-Arm to both sides of the vessel, smoothly and precisely. Oil supply ports are provided on both sides of this actuator, through which, oil can be supplied to the piston of the actuator. As pressurised oil is supplied from the Helm Pump to the Linear Actuator, the piston-rod will move forward or backward, depending on, to which supply port, oil is provided. The Pistonrod-end / Ram-end of this actuator has a flexible connector, which can be coupled to the Tiller-Arm.. As the driver rotates the steering wheel to one side, oil filled in the circuit flows from one side of the circuit to the other side of the circuit
