This hydraulic linear actuator integrates a high-performance reversing pump and a marine hydraulic cylinder, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. The unit mounts directly onto the rudder tiller-arm or quadrant, allowing seamless autopilot engagement while enabling free rudder movement when the system is not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis actuator offers a robust solution for offshore mariners, featuring a solenoid valve that locks the cylinder when autopilot is engaged. A compact, translucent oil reservoir simplifies fluid level checks, while its mechanical simplicity—comprising only five moving parts—enhances reliability and ease of service. Pre-filled with hydraulic oil from the factory, it requires no additional plumbing, making it a hassle-free addition to your vessel’s autopilot system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12vDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAverage Current Draw:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-6 amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Current Draw:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19 amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCylinder Bore Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Flow Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5000cc – 1 litre\/min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStroke Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 178mm (7 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardover Time (Suggested):\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-14 seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Rudder Torque:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750Nm (6,630 lbin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak Thrust:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400Kg (882lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Boat Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14m (45 feet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Dimensions\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStroke Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 178mm (7 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCylinder Bore:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact and efficient hydraulic linear actuator for autopilot systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for mechanical steering systems in marine applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolenoid valve ensures seamless autopilot engagement and disengagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-strength hydraulic cylinder with smooth operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall translucent oil reservoir for easy fluid level monitoring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive moving parts for maximum reliability and low maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory pre-filled with hydraulic oil—no additional plumbing required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eVariations List\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOCTAF1012LAM7\u003c\/strong\u003e – Stroke Mounted Pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOCTAF1012LAR7\u003c\/strong\u003e – Stroke Remote Pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis high-performance autopilot drive provides mariners with a reliable and efficient steering solution, ensuring smooth and accurate course corrections in demanding offshore conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Octopus Autopilot Drives","offers":[{"title":"Stroke Mounted Pump","offer_id":52023859970229,"sku":"QBP971015-323","price":2515.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Stroke Remote Pump","offer_id":52023860002997,"sku":"QBP971015-234","price":2515.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1230007_qbp971015.jpg?v=1763259501","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp971015","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
