Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine provides a full range of steering control systems to accommodate many types of vessels and yachts. Through modular design many different requirements can easily be met, from pleasure boats to mega-yachts and vessels with multiple rudders. All components of the steering control system are connected via reliable CAN-bus technology. Steering System Key Benefits: Designed for straightforward and simple operation Modular in design for easy installation and flexible integration with further steering controls High quality components and vane pumps for long life and reliability Built in reliability with CAN bus technology Comfortable operation with take-over or give-over function of steering control positions The modular concept of configuration for the Total Steering Systems uses standard components configured in almost any required arrangement, such as: Mechanical Rudder Interface - There are various methods of the mechanical rudder interface Manual Hydraulic Steering - This configuration consists of a manually driven hydraulic pump, directly connected to the steering wheel or helm Single Electric-Hydraulic Steering System - This configuration provides electronic control of the hydraulic system, offering accurate control of the rudder(s). Multiple rudders in this case are mechanically coupled and driven by one or two hydraulic cylinders Dual Electric-Hydraulic Steering System - This configuration provides electronic control of the hydraulic system, offering fail-safe operation in case of a single rudder, or fully independent control of multiple rudders without mechanical coupling
