B & G Hydraulic Ram T0 12V Drive - Marine Hydraulic Linear Actuator for Vessels

The B & G Hydraulic Ram T0 12V Drive is a versatile and reliable marine hydraulic linear actuator designed for vessel steering systems. This integrated unit combines a cylinder, pump, motor, clutch, and reservoir in a pre-filled, sealed assembly, ensuring efficient operation with minimal maintenance. Its robust construction and compatibility with mechanical primary steering systems make it suitable for vessels that require precise rudder control, especially when back-driven. The unit's design allows it to function seamlessly in autopilot mode, with the course computer energizing the clutch solenoid to extend and retract the ram via the bidirectional motor. Internal relief valves provide protection against rudder strikes, grounding, and other mechanical stresses, enhancing operational safety and longevity.
