HYDRAULIC STEERING SYSTEMS (WITH AXIAL PISTON PUMP)
Careful attention to detail and modern technology enable us to offer truly top-class hydraulic steering systems.
CONSTRUCTION
Our hydraulic steering systems consist of a hydraulic pump and cylinder, connected by means of tubes (copper, steel or nylon).
The pump is of the axial piston type, with small pistons inside, which are directly actuated by the steering wheel; certainly not the cheapest, but the only good system for safe and reliable hand-hydraulic steering. The cylinder is of the double-acting type and mounted on a base, allowing it to swing according to the arc described by the rudder tiller. OPERATION
The manually operated system creates
its hydraulic power through rotation of
the steering wheel.
It does not depend on the electric or
energy.
QUALITY
All parts are manufactured to the highest standards and of the best materials, for long service life, corrosion resistance and operating efficiency. Nearly 45 years of experience in this field gives us an undisputed lead over many others.
INSTALLATION
This is a very simple matter. All that is required is to connect the pump to the cylinder by means of copper, steel or nylon tubes.
MAINTENANCE
Once the steering is properly installed, only minimal maintenance is necessary.
AUTOMATIC PILOT
Our hydraulic steering systems can be used together with an automatic pilot (for this, also see the VETUS electro-hydraulic pumps, page 51).
