Under normal operating conditions, a steering wheel turn will pump the oil, which flows in through the hoses to the cylinder, according to the turn direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the consequent cylinder movement, the oil will flow to the pump through the hoses and, at the same time, move the engine or the helm, which are connected to the cylinder. The pumps, equipped with a valve that prevents outgoing fluid from returning along the same hose, allow the operation of the steering systems with two or more steering stations. The cylinders are double-acting and may be balanced or unbalanced. This particular cylinder is a balanced cylinder with the same number of steering wheel turns to move the helm from the center to the end stroke in two opposite directions. A well-balanced steering system needs the correct choice of pump for the cylinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hydraulic cylinder for the inboard engine UC 116-I has been designed and manufactured to be used as a component in the hydraulic steering systems. The cylinder with a mobile rod is installed directly to the arm of the helm through the proper ball joint on the end part of the cylinder. On the opposite side, it is fixed directly to the boat through a support with the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBalanced (the number of turns lock-to-lock is equal to port to starboard or vice versa)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume: 116 cc - 7 cu.in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque: 58 kg (5043 lbs.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Force: 464 kg (1023 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c!--- cis2:m2lumZRk ---\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Uflex USA UC116-I aluminum inboard hydraulic cylinder is designed for precise and reliable steering control in marine applications. Featuring a 1.25-inch bore and a 7-inch stroke, this balanced cylinder provides consistent movement from port to starboard with minimal effort. Its robust construction ensures durability under demanding conditions, making it an ideal component for hydraulic steering systems on boats of various sizes. The cylinder is engineered to integrate seamlessly with steering pumps, connecting hoses, and helm assemblies, providing smooth and responsive steering performance. Its balanced design means that the number of turns to move the helm from center to end stroke is equal in both directions, simplifying steering operation and enhancing control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hydraulic cylinder is equipped with a mobile rod that attaches directly to the helm arm via a ball joint on the end of the cylinder. On the opposite end, it is securely mounted to the boat through a sturdy support with a mounting plate. The cylinder’s internal design ensures that oil flows efficiently during operation, with a valve mechanism that prevents fluid from returning along the same hose, allowing for multiple steering stations to be used simultaneously. With a displacement volume of 116 cc (7 cubic inches) and an output force of 1023 pounds, this component delivers reliable force to steer the vessel accurately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManufactured by Uflex USA, the UC116-I hydraulic cylinder is essential for maintaining precise directional control. Its lightweight aluminum construction offers strength without adding unnecessary weight to your vessel. The cylinder’s specifications, including a torque capacity of 58 kg (approximately 128 pounds), ensure compatibility with a wide range of hydraulic steering systems. For detailed installation and operational instructions, consult the owner’s manual available online. This product is designed for marine use and is not classified as truck freight or oversized equipment, simplifying shipping and handling processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBalanced design with equal turns lock-to-lock for easy steering control\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAluminum construction provides strength with lightweight durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatible with hydraulic steering systems on boats\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSeamless integration with steering pumps, hoses, and helm assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRobust mounting and attachment points for secure installation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Uflex USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44529746706474,"sku":"78175","price":462.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2285\/8794\/files\/78175XL.jpg?v=1783083536","url":"https:\/\/atticusgoods.com\/products\/uflex-usa-aluminum-inboard-hydraulic-cylinder-1-25-inch-bore-7-inch-stroke","provider":"Atticus Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
