B&G T0 Hydraulic Ram 12V

The RAM T0 Hydraulic linear actuator combines a cylinder, pump, motor, clutch and reservoir in a pre-filled, sealed unit. Designed to be used on vessels fitted with mechanical primary steering that can be back driven. When the clutch is disengaged the cylinder is free and moves with the primary steering. To operate the unit in autopilot mode the course computer energises the clutch solenoid coil and runs the bidirectional motor to extend and retract the ram. Internal relief valves protect the unit and its mountings from rudder strikes, grounding etc.

High power, efficient drive units for maximum power with minimum consumption. Ram drives allow the Power Steer mode on the Pilot to be used in cases of manual steering failure Fully Integrated (T0, T1 and T2 units) hydraulic system, no external hoses, reservoirs etc. Always remember to use the fully laden displacement of your boat when selecting a pilot. Typically a yacht fully provisioned with the water and fuel tanks full can be as much as 20% above the designed displacement. If your boat falls between two pilot types, choose the larger pilot type - an under rated pilot may not be able to perform adequately when you need it most.

f you are using a Ram, Rotary drive or existing drive unit from another manufacturer, these will, in most cases, be compatible with Simrad/B&G units. If in doubt, please contact us.
