Octopus 1000cc/min Reversing Piston Pump 12Vdc
Octopus 1000cc/min Reversing
Piston Pump 12Vdc
Model: AF1012
The unique Octopus piston pump delivers over twice the hydraulic output per watt of input than a standard hydraulic gear pump.
Gear pumps leak oil between the gears, while a piston (such as used in car engines) does not. This means the piston pump will place the cylinder ram exactly where it is required, positioning the rudder accurately. This gives far sharper steering, reducingunnecessary course corrections meaning battery consumption on Octopus pumps is up to half that of other pumps.
Leading autopilot manufacturers choose Octopus pumps for their non RFB pilot systems which do not have a Rudder Feedback unit. Previously, slop in the system caused by gear leakage meant that a Rudder Feedback unit was necessary to tell the pilot the exact rudder position. As Octopus pumps will always bring the ram back to the required position the Rudder Feedback unit is not required, which also greatly simplifies installation.
A professional installation should always have a method of isolating the pump from the steering system - Octopus pumps feature inbuilt shut off valves in the pump manifold.
A pump that does not have variable flow (unless dedicated to a range of cylinders such as our fixed 0.8L pump) will be operating too fast or too slow in 90% of cases. Autopilot manufacturers get around this problem by adjusting the output to the pump to compensate, which either forces the pump to operate for longer periods of time which increases power consumption and wear on the parts, or it will operate at high pressure for short periods of time - also putting unnecessary strain and wear on the system.
Octopus Variable Flow Reversing Pumps precisely control the speed of the ram, reducing unnecessary battery consumption, pressure, strain and wear on the hydraulic system.
The Octopus 1000cc/min reversing piston pump offers outstanding performance with its precise fluid handling capabilities. Designed to deliver a steady flow rate of 1000cc per minute, this pump excels in applications requiring accurate and reversible pumping. Powered by a 12Vdc motor, it ensures energy-efficient operation ideal for mobile or remote setups. Octopus technology guarantees reliability and durability, making this pump an essential component in systems that demand consistent and controllable flow rates.
One of the key features of the Octopus pump is its reversing capability, allowing seamless change in flow direction without manual intervention. This adds significant flexibility for various processes such as liquid transfer, dosing, or recirculating fluids. The reversing piston mechanism minimizes wear and enhances service life by distributing operational stress evenly. Its compact design and compatibility with 12Vdc power sources make it suitable for both industrial and agricultural uses where space and power constraints are common.
The Octopus 1000cc/min piston pump is built with high-quality materials to withstand harsh environments and continuous operation. Its compact 12Vdc motor drive ensures low power consumption while maintaining high flow efficiency. This combination not only reduces energy costs but also supports sustainable operation. Easy to install and maintain, the pump’s design facilitates quick servicing, reducing downtime. Ideal for applications that require robust, reliable pumping with minimal noise and vibration, the Octopus pump delivers consistent results in demanding conditions.
