{"product_id":"qbp183480","title":"Raymarine Type 2 Hydraulic Linear Drive, For Mechanical Steering, Up to 22,000 kg","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Raymarine Type 2 Hydraulic Linear Drive is a below-deck autopilot drive for mechanically steered vessels up to 22,000 kg (48,500 lb) displacement. It uses a reversing hydraulic pump, hydraulic ram, fluid reservoir and hydraulic lines to move the rudder through an independent tiller arm or rudder quadrant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the Type 2 drive size in the Raymarine hydraulic linear drive range, with 675 kg (1,488 lb) peak thrust, a 254 mm (10 in) maximum stroke and a hardover to hardover time of 10 seconds at nominal voltage with no load. The range is available in 12V and 24V versions, so the drive can be matched to the vessel's DC electrical system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a good fit for larger sailboats and other mechanically steered vessels where the autopilot drive can be mounted below deck on a solid structure. Raymarine Evolution autopilot installations using this drive require an ACU-400 actuator control unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor mechanically steered boats up to 22,000 kg (48,500 lb) displacement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType 2 drive rating with 675 kg (1,488 lb) peak thrust and 254 mm (10 in) maximum stroke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 12V and 24V DC configurations for matching the boat's electrical system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with Raymarine Evolution autopilot systems through an ACU-400 actuator control unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBelow-deck ram installation connects to an independent tiller arm or rudder quadrant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to EN60945:2002 for EMC and EN28846:1993 for ignition protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses mineral based hydraulic oil from ISO VG10 to ISO VG40.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis range is offered in two voltage configurations so the drive can match the boat's DC electrical system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drive type, displacement rating, stroke, thrust rating, mounting approach and ACU-400 integration remain the same across both variants; the supplied motor voltage is the key difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eE12207: Voltage 12V.

It is most relevant where the steering gear is accessible below deck and there is room to mount the ram, pump and reservoir correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ram attaches to the rudder stock through an independent tiller arm or to a rudder quadrant. Some installations may need accessory fittings from the steering system maker to complete the connection properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hydraulic ram must be mounted on a very solid part of the vessel structure and aligned correctly with the tiller arm or rudder quadrant. The Type 2 ram can be mounted horizontally or vertically, which helps when working around lockers, berths, steering gear and other below-deck equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllow at least 17 cm (6.7 in) of clearance at the rear of the ram for the hydraulic pipes, and keep the pipe bend radius at 7.6 cm (3 in) or more. Plan the reservoir location so it remains accessible for top-ups and refills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydraulic Linear Drive assembly with hydraulic fluid reservoir, pump and hydraulic ram.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiller pin assembly with tiller pin, R-clip, lock nut and 2 washers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydraulic ram mounting screw pack with 4 bolts, 4 washers and 4 lock nuts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePump mounting screw pack with 2 bolts, 2 washers and 2 lock nuts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation instructions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydraulic fluid transit container.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Raymarine","offers":[{"title":"12V","offer_id":52581979619509,"sku":"QBP183480-V1","price":3564.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"24V","offer_id":52581979652277,"sku":"QBP183480-V2","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1335129_qbp183480.webp?v=1780201997","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp183480","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
