DESCRIPTION
The RAM T1/T2 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 com-
puter energises the clutch solenoid coil and runs the bi-directional motor
to extend and retract the ram.
Internal relief valves protect the unit and its mountings from rudder
strikes, grounding etc.
