Octopus Drives Hydraulic Linear Actuator Item # 876808

Description
The Octopus Hydraulic Linear Actuator is a simple, effective way to drive the rudder on a boat equipped with a mechanical steering system.
Features:
- For power and sailboats with mechanical steering
- This drive is compatible with most of the major Autopilot Electronic brands
- When the autopilot is not in use the cylinder runs freely along with the rudder
- When the automatic pilot is in use a solenoid valve on the actuator closes and locks the cylinder
- Steering signals from the pilot are now fed to the D.C. motor, which drives the pump to move the cylinder back and forth
- De-energized, the solenoid valve immediately disconnects the automatic pilot from the rudder
- The actuator has a small translucent oil reservoir, making it easy to check fluid levels
- These actuators have only five moving parts
- Mechanical simplicity gives Precision Products reliability and ease of service when compared to complicated gear and screw actuators, making Precision Products units a favorite for offshore mariners
- These actuators are shipped from their factory completely filled with oil and require no additional plumbing
