Careful attention to detail, modern technology without compromise on material specification and operating pressures have driven our choice for this selection of high-class hydraulic pumps. There are two basic parts to our hydraulic system: the helm and the cylinder. The helm is an
axial piston pump, with small pistons inside, which are directly actuated by the steering wheel. The
double-acting cylinder is mounted on a base allowing it to swing according to the arc described by the rudder tiller.
All parts are manufactured to the highest standards and of the best materials, for long service life, corrosion resistance and operating efficiency. Installation is very easy; you only have to connect the pump to the cylinder by means of copper, steel or nylon hoses. Upgrading your hydraulic steering system to power steering or autopilot is possible with equipment available in our webshop. To select your control system, choose the cylinder you need (depending on your type of vessel or the required rudder torque) and the corresponding hydraulic pump. Relevant calculation documents are available.
