Cylinder Fork Type Electrical Hydraulic Yacht Steering Gear

It is different from piston fork type, its char-acteristic is that it had changed the piston reciprocating movement into cylinder reciprocating movement. Two ends of the piston rod are fixed on the foundation. So it not only kept the traditional advantages of piston-fork steering gear but also has the following advantages: Small volume, light weight, convenient to maintenance, especially suits to be used of all kinds of ships.

There is a cylindrical pin in the middle of the striker, and a square sliding block is arranged on the outer cover of the pin. When the striker moves, the slider rotates around the cylindrical pin and slides in the fork-shaped end of the tiller.

The fork type has the same torque characteristics as the cross head type, but the side thrust is borne by the striker without a guide plate. The structure is simple, and the processing and disassembly are convenient.

The crosshead is replaced by a shift fork, and the distance R from the axis of the striker to the axis of the rudder stock. It can be reduced by 26%, and the maximum stroke of the striker is also reduced, the floor space is reduced by 10% to 15% compared with the crosshead type, and the weight is reduced by about 10%
