Detailed description

The B&G T2 24V hydraulic autopilot ram is a fully integrated power unit, combining cylinder, pump, motor, clutch, and reservoir in a sealed, pre-filled assembly. Designed for sailboats with reverse-drive mechanical steering systems, its one-piece design simplifies installation by eliminating the need for external hoses and reservoirs. Manufactured in the UK, this ram is intended for below-deck installations only.

Performance and positioning

This actuator delivers a maximum intermittent thrust of 700 kg and a rudder torque of 149 kg/m. Within the B&G actuator range, the T2 model stands out from the T1 due to its superior speed. It completes a full port-to-starboard stroke (255 mm) in 9 seconds, compared to 13 seconds for the T1, while delivering the same maximum thrust. This performance makes it ideal for responsive autopilot systems. It is compatible with B&G autopilot computers such as the NAC-3 and the H5000.

Technical specifications of the RAM-T2-24V

This model operates on 24V DC. Current consumption is 1.3A under typical use (at 25% load) and 12A under maximum intermittent load of 650 kg. The unit weighs 8 kg. The body is made of aluminum and the piston rod of chrome-plated stainless steel for maximum durability. The engine displacement is 234 cc. The unit is protected by an IP67 rating and can operate in a temperature range of -15°C to +55°C. Compliance includes CE (Directive 2014/30/EU), EMC BS EN 60945:2002, and BS EN 28846:1993 for flame retardancy.

Design and safety

The hydraulic cylinder incorporates internal pressure relief valves calibrated to 62 bar (equivalent to 730 kg) to protect the system from shocks in the event of grounding or rudder impact. In case of main rudder failure, it allows the autopilot's "Power Steer" mode to be used for emergency control. A quick-release system with an "R-Clip" pin on the rudder shaft allows the cylinder to be manually disengaged from the rudder quadrant. The 12-watt clutch connects via a DIN 43650 plug. The recommended hydraulic fluid is a mineral oil of type ISO VG10 to VG40.

Expert opinion

Pol CONIN

Digital Manager

« Reliable hydraulic power for B&G autopilots »

The B&G T2 hydraulic ram is a proven power unit and a fundamental component of B&G autopilot systems for cruising and racing sailboats. Its 700 kg thrust force, coupled with a fast 9-second hard-over time, ensures essential helm authority and responsiveness in challenging sea conditions. The IP67 rating and compliance with marine standards (EMC and ignition) testify to its robust design, essential for equipment installed below deck. We particularly appreciate the presence of the quick release, a non-negotiable safety feature that allows for instant manual control takeover. It is a top choice for reliable and high-performance installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the supply voltage of this B&G T2 hydraulic ram?

This B&G T2 hydraulic autopilot ram is designed to operate with a 24VDC supply.

Is the B&G T2 ram compatible with my existing autopilot system?

The compatibility of the B&G T2 ram depends on the specifications of your existing autopilot system. Check the supply voltage (24V), required thrust, and connection interfaces to ensure compatibility.

Where can I find the installation manual for the B&G T2 ram?

The installation manual for the B&G T2 ram is available for download on the product page, in the documentation section.

How can I remove the motor from the B&G T2 ram if necessary?

To remove the motor, unscrew the two M6 cap screws and remove the motor, coupling, and watertight O-ring seal.

Does the B&G T2 ram have a quick-release tab?

Yes, the B&G T2 ram is equipped with a quick-release tab that allows for immediate manual override of the helm if needed.

What is the weight of the B&G T2 hydraulic ram?

The weight of the B&G T2 hydraulic ram is 8 kg.

What are the main technical specifications of the B&G T2 24V autopilot hydraulic ram?

The B&G T2 24V hydraulic autopilot ram has the following technical specifications:

Power supply: 24V DC
Maximum intermittent thrust: 700 kg
Rudder torque: 149 kg/m
Full stroke time (port-starboard over 255 mm): 9 seconds
Current consumption:
Typical (at 25% load): 1.3 A
Maximum intermittent (at 650 kg): 12 A
Weight: 8 kg
Displacement: 234 cc
Materials: Aluminum body, chrome-plated stainless steel piston rod
Ingress protection rating: IP67
Operating temperature range: -15°C to +55°C

Which autopilot computers is this hydraulic ram compatible with?

This ram is compatible with B&G autopilot computers, including the NAC-3 and H5000 models. It is specifically designed for sailboats with mechanical steering systems that can be driven in reverse.

What is the performance difference between the B&G T2 and T1 ram?

The T2 model differs from the T1 primarily in its execution speed. While both models deliver a maximum intermittent thrust of 700 kg, the T2 ram completes a full port-starboard stroke (255 mm) in 9 seconds, whereas the T1 takes 13 seconds for the same stroke. This superior performance makes the T2 ideal for more responsive autopilot systems.

What are the specific installation requirements for this autopilot linear drive?

The B&G T2 24V autopilot linear drive is designed exclusively for below-deck installations. Its one-piece design, which integrates the cylinder, pump, motor, clutch, and reservoir, simplifies installation by eliminating the need for external hoses and tanks.

It is essential to maintain clear access to the R-Clip quick-release system on the rudderstock to allow manual disengagement of the linear drive from the tiller system when required. This linear drive is intended for sailboats equipped with mechanical steering systems that can be driven in reverse.
