The linear actuator is an assembly of an Octopus reversing pump and a marine hydraulic cylinder. This assembly is mounted on the rudder tiller-arm or quadrant. When the autopilot is not in use the cylinder runs freely along with the rudder. When the automatic pilot is in use a solenoid valve on the actuator closes and locks the cylinder. Steering signals from the pilot are now fed to the D.C. motor, which drives the pump to move the cylinder back and forth. De-energized, the solenoid valve immediately disconnects the automatic pilot from the rudder. The actuator has a small translucent oil reservoir, making it easy to check fluid levels. These actuators have only five moving parts. Mechanical simplicity gives our product reliability and ease of service when compared to complicated gear and screw actuators, making our units a favorite for offshore mariners. These actuators are shipped from our factory completely filled with oil and require no additional plumbing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eAverage Current 4-6 amps\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMax Current 19amps\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e12vDC\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eCylinder Bore: 38mm\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eVariable Flow Rate: 600cc-1.2 litre\/min\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eStroke: 305mm\/12in\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eHardover Time(Suggested): 14-16 sec\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMax Rudder Torque: 1,200Nm\/10,600lbin\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePeak Thrust: 400Kg\/882lbs\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMax boat Length: 18m\/60'\u003cbr\u003e \u003c!--- cis2:m2lsnZpn ---\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Pumps\/Drives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox Dimensions: 8\"H x 8\"W x 39\"L WT: 22.4 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 628309134792\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/productimageserver.com\/literature\/quickGuide\/44319QG.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eQuick Guide (pdf)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Octopus Autopilot Drives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46570225860838,"sku":"ANX-44319","price":2906.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/2212\/7846\/files\/44319XL.jpg?v=1756817261"},{"product_id":"octopus-type-s-straight-shaft-f-mounting-behind-the-dash-f-mechanical-drive-systems-includes-90-degree-bezel-kit-octafmdmsw","title":"Octopus Type S Straight Shaft f\/Mounting Behind the Dash f\/Mechanical Drive Systems - Includes 90 Degree Bezel Kit [OCTAFMDMSW]","description":" \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType S - Standard Straight Shaft f\/Mounting Behind the Dash\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Straight shaft drive unit replaces the manual drive used on cable steered boats and is mounted directly behind the dash.

As Octopus pumps will always bring the ram back to the required position the Rudder Feedback unit is not required, which also greatly simplifies installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSAVE ON INSTALLATION COSTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA professional installation should always have a method of isolating the pump from the steering system - Octopus pumps feature inbuilt shut off valves in the pump manifold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eADJUSTABLE FLOW RATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pump that does not have variable flow (unless dedicated to a range of cylinders such as our fixed 0.8L pump) will be operating too fast or too slow in 90% of cases.  Autopilot manufacturers get around this problem by adjusting the output to the pump to compensate, which either forces the pump to operate for longer periods of time which increases power consumption and wear on the parts, or it will operate at high pressure for short periods of time - also putting unnecessary strain and wear on the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOctopus Variable Flow Reversing Pumps precisely control the speed of the ram, reducing unnecessary battery consumption, pressure, strain and wear on the hydraulic system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c!--- cis2:m2lsnZpn ---\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Pumps\/Drives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox Dimensions: 5\"H x 6\"W x 12\"L WT: 8.75 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 628309272791\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Octopus Autopilot Drives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46570678419686,"sku":"ANX-75686","price":1147.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/2212\/7846\/files\/75686XL.jpg?v=1756864306"},{"product_id":"octopus-hydraulic-gear-pump-12v-20-30ci-cylinder-2000cc-min-octafg2012","title":"Octopus Hydraulic Gear Pump - 12V - 20-30CI Cylinder - 2000cc\/min [OCTAFG2012]","description":" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHydraulic Gear Pump - 12V - 20-30CI Cylinder - 2000cc\/min\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGear Pump Offers Industry Leading Reliability and Performance in a Smaller, Lighter, Quieter Package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Efficiency – Industry leading efficiency minimizes power consumption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow Noise – New industry design offers significantly quieter operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight Weight \u0026amp;
