Detailed description

Designed for sailboats up to 36 000 kg (79 000 lbs), the B&G Hydraulic Ram T3 24V is a powerful and efficient linear actuator. It consists of a hydraulic cylinder and a clutch, and is designed to operate with a separate hydraulic pump, motor, and reservoir, offering increased installation flexibility.

Performance and integration

This hydraulic ram operates on a 24V DC power supply. It provides a 300 mm (11.8 inches) stroke and a full stroke-to-full stroke time of 13 seconds. The recommended tiller arm is 257 mm (10.11 inches). It delivers a thrust of 1100 kg (2425 lbs) and a rudder torque of 283 kg (623.9 lbs), ensuring precise course-keeping.

Technical specifications

The B&G Hydraulic Ram T3 24V is compatible with NAC-3, H5000, and AC42 autopilot computers. Its continuous coil consumption is 12 watts. The IP67 rating ensures resistance to temporary immersion and water spray. It is built with an aluminum body (BS1490) and a chrome-plated stainless steel piston rod. Integral relief valves protect the cylinder and its mounting, while a solenoid clutch is used to extend or retract the rod. This model features a separate hydraulic pump, offering increased mounting flexibility for the cylinder. It also supports the "Power Steer" mode, allowing the autopilot to be used as a backup steering system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the primary function of the B&G T3 24V hydraulic ram?

The B&G T3 24V hydraulic ram is a powerful and efficient linear actuator designed for sailboat steering. It is an integral part of an autopilot system, enabling precise rudder control.

For which type and size of sailboat is this hydraulic ram suitable?

This hydraulic ram is specifically designed for sailboats. It is suitable for vessels weighing up to 36,000 kg (79,000 lbs).

What is the required supply voltage for the T3 24V actuator?

The B&G T3 24V hydraulic ram requires a 24V DC supply voltage to operate correctly.

What are the racing performance and end-to-end travel time of this ram?

The T3 24V hydraulic ram provides a 300 mm (11.8 in) stroke and a hard-stop to hard-stop time of 13 seconds, ensuring fast helm response.

What is the maximum thrust and rudder torque provided by the T3 hydraulic ram?

This actuator can generate a thrust of 1100 kg (2425 lbs) and a rudder torque of 283 kg (623.9 lbs), ensuring precise course-keeping and sufficient power.

What is the continuous power consumption of the B&G T3 hydraulic ram?

The continuous power consumption of the B&G T3 hydraulic ram coil is 12 watts.

What is the ingress protection rating (IP) of the B&G T3 24V actuator?

The B&G T3 24V linear actuator has IP67 protection. This means it is resistant to temporary immersion and water spray, making it suitable for marine environments.

What materials make up the body of the T3 hydraulic cylinder?

The B&G T3 24V hydraulic cylinder body is made of aluminum (BS1490 standard), giving it robustness and corrosion resistance.

What is the weight of the B&G T3 24V hydraulic ram?

The B&G T3 24V hydraulic ram weighs 11.773 kg.

Is the hydraulic ram supplied with all necessary hydraulic components, such as the pump and reservoir?

No, the B&G T3 24V hydraulic ram consists of a hydraulic cylinder and a clutch. It is designed to work with a hydraulic pump, a motor, and a reservoir that must be purchased separately.

What are the installation requirements for other hydraulic components?

This hydraulic ram is designed to be integrated into an existing or new hydraulic steering system. It requires a separate hydraulic pump, motor, and reservoir to operate, providing flexibility in installation layout.

What regular maintenance checks are recommended for the T3 ram?

It is recommended to regularly check the mounting base and tiller arm bolt for security to ensure safe and reliable operation of the autopilot drive.

Are there any important safety instructions to follow during installation or use?

Yes, it is imperative to always stay clear of steering components and moving linkages to avoid any risk of pinching or accident.

Which tiller arm is recommended for optimal performance with this linear actuator?

A tiller arm with a length of 257 mm (10.11 inches) is recommended to ensure optimal performance and adequate responsiveness with the B&G T3 24V hydraulic ram.

Is the T3 24V actuator designed for compact installation or does it require separate components?

The T3 24V hydraulic ram requires integration of a separate hydraulic pump, motor, and reservoir. This design offers installation flexibility rather than a compact all-in-one solution.

Does the ram require specific installation for the tiller arm?

Yes, the cylinder is mounted to the tiller arm with a bolt. It is critical to ensure the bolt’s security and proper tightness during installation and during routine checks.

Which B&G autopilot models is it compatible with?

The B&G T3 24V hydraulic ram is compatible with several B&G autopilot computers, including the NAC-3, H5000, and AC42 models.

Can the T3 24V hydraulic ram be integrated into an existing hydraulic steering system?

Yes, the cylinder is designed to be a component of a hydraulic steering system. It can be integrated into an existing system requiring a 24V cylinder, provided the other elements (pump, motor, reservoir) are compatible and correctly sized.

Is this actuator compatible with non-B&G steering systems?

The B&G T3 24V hydraulic ram is specifically listed as compatible with B&G autopilot computers (NAC-3, H5000, AC42). While it may function as a standard hydraulic component, compatibility with autopilot systems from other brands is not guaranteed and must be verified with the third-party system manufacturer.

What is the compatibility of this hydraulic ram with different types of boats?

This actuator is compatible with sailboats. Its capacity makes it suitable for vessels weighing up to 36 000 kg (79 000 lbs), covering a wide range of sailboats.
