Octaf1212Lam12 Linear Drive 38mm 12" Mounted 12V - Octopus Intellisteer Dist.

An Octaf1212Lam12 Linear Drive is a high-quality linear actuator designed for driving the rudder on boats equipped with a mechanical steering system. This linear actuator consists of an Octopus reversing pump and a marine hydraulic cylinder, which are mounted on the rudder tiller-arm or quadrant. It offers a simple and effective solution for steering control, especially when used with an autopilot system.

The Octaf1212Lam12 Linear Drive features a solenoid valve that allows for easy switching between manual and automatic steering modes. When the autopilot is not in use, the cylinder runs freely along with the rudder. However, when the automatic pilot is engaged, the solenoid valve closes and locks the cylinder, enabling precise steering control. The actuator is powered by a 12VDC motor, which drives the pump to move the cylinder back and forth based on the steering signals from the pilot.

One of the key advantages of the Octaf1212Lam12 Linear Drive is its mechanical simplicity, which ensures high reliability and ease of service compared to complex gear and screw actuators. With only five moving parts, this actuator offers excellent durability and requires minimal maintenance. Additionally, the actuator comes pre-filled with oil from the factory and does not require any additional plumbing, simplifying the installation process.
