Lineární aktuátor typ 2 pro GHP 12

The Garmin 010-11573-00 linear actuator is a self-contained Class B hydraulic drive unit. It is designed to deliver the required rudder power for precise and reliable autopilot operation on sailboats.

This actuator is specifically designed for sailboats with a displacement of up to 35.8 tonnes (79,000 lbs), covering a boat length range of 20 to 70 feet.

The unit is designed to withstand a maximum thrust of 2380 lbs (approximately 1080 kg).

Yes, the type 2 linear actuator is distinguished by its full integration, including a rudder angle feedback sensor. This feature is essential for the GHP 12 autopilot controller, as it enables precise display of the rudder position.

The cylinder rod stroke is 303 mm (12 inches), providing sufficient movement range for most tiller configurations.

The actuator operates on a supply voltage of 10 to 30 Vdc.

Average current draw is 3-4 A for the motor and 1 A for the clutch, both at 12 V.

This linear actuator is specifically designed for the Garmin GHP 12 autopilot system.

Yes, professional installation of the drive unit is highly recommended, as specific knowledge of the rudder system is required to correctly install the hydraulic ram.

Yes, the drive unit is designed for installation below deck, ensuring resilience in the marine environment.

No, the actuator is a self-contained hydraulic unit. The system is factory-filled and tested, so there is no need to disconnect the hydraulic hoses for installation.

Yes, the actuator rod movement must be limited by physical stops to prevent damage to the unit. The rod stroke must be limited to 305 mm (12 inches) between fully retracted and fully extended positions.

Items not included but potentially required for installation are the tiller arm if you do not already have one or if the linear actuator cannot be installed at the level of your existing quadrant, as well as physical end stops to limit the tiller's travel.

Yes, the cylinder must be securely mounted on a surface capable of withstanding the strong thrusts generated by the rudder. It must be installed below deck and protected from water and excessive moisture. The motor must not be exposed to excessive temperatures, vibrations, or fumes.

The linear actuator weighs approximately 9 kg (19.84 lbs).

No, this linear actuator is specifically designed to be used only with Garmin autopilots, including the GHP 12.

The tiller bolt supplied is suitable for a quadrant or tiller thickness ranging from 20 mm (0.79 in.) to 25 mm (0.98 in.).
