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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeading 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOctopus Variable Flow Reversing Pumps precisely control the speed of the ram, reducing unnecessary battery consumption, pressure, strain and wear on the hydraulic system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntroduction to the Octopus Pump\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Octopus 2000cc\/min reversing piston pump 12Vdc is engineered for high performance and reliability in fluid handling applications. Designed to deliver a steady flow rate of 2000 cubic centimeters per minute, this pump offers exceptional precision and control. Its 12Vdc power supply makes it compatible with a wide range of portable and stationary systems. Whether for industrial, medical, or laboratory use, the Octopus pump stands out due to its reversing capability, allowing fluid to be pumped in both directions efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced Reversing Piston Mechanism\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of the Octopus pump is a sophisticated piston mechanism that allows seamless reversing of flow. This feature provides greater versatility when managing fluid transfer tasks, enabling quick changes without the need for mechanical adjustments. The reversing function enhances system flexibility, reduces downtime, and improves operational efficiency. The piston design ensures a smooth, pulseless flow, minimizing pulsation and turbulence, which is critical in sensitive applications requiring steady and controlled fluid delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDurability and Power Efficiency\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Octopus 12Vdc pump is built to last with high-quality materials that withstand rigorous use in various environments. Its compact design optimizes space without compromising power output. Operating on a low 12V DC supply, the pump offers excellent energy efficiency, making it suitable for battery-powered setups. This efficiency cuts operating costs and extends equipment lifespan. Additionally, its robust construction resists wear and corrosion, ensuring reliable performance in demanding conditions while maintaining consistent flow rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Octopus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44198617841706,"sku":"OTPOCTAF2012","price":772.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2285\/8794\/files\/4207308.jpg?v=1774495247","url":"https:\/\/atticusgoods.com\/products\/octopus-2000cc-min-reversing-piston-pump-12vdc","provider":"Atticus Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
