Detailed description

The Raymarine E12208 linear hydraulic ram is a critical component for autopilot systems, designed specifically for vessels equipped with a 24 V electrical circuit. This type 2 model replaces the previous M81201 reference and provides steering by supplying the hydraulic force required to the tiller arm or quadrant.

Design and positioning in the Raymarine range

The E12208 stands out with its 24 V power supply, making it compatible with the electrical systems of larger vessels. Within the Raymarine range, it is positioned alongside the E12207 model, its 12 V equivalent, both being type 2 rams. For vessels requiring greater thrust power, Raymarine offers type 3 rams, such as the M81202 (12 V) and M81203 (24 V), which are intended for more demanding applications in terms of boat size and rudder load. The E12208 is therefore optimized for mechanical steering systems requiring intermediate thrust force, suitable for a wide range of sailboats and motorboats.

Installation and maintenance

Installing the E12208 ram requires mounting on a structure capable of withstanding considerable mechanical force, such as a substantial frame element of the vessel. Absolute cleanliness is crucial when handling the hydraulic system to prevent the entry of particles that could impair the operation of the check valves. The system allows manual disengagement of the unit in case of failure, facilitating maintenance or switching to manual mode. The connection is made to the route computer, following precise wiring guidelines to ensure EMC compliance and system performance.

« Analysis of the Raymarine E12208 24V hydraulic linear actuator »

The Raymarine E12208 linear hydraulic ram is a key component for the performance of autopilot systems on 24 V-equipped vessels. Its classification as a Type 2 model makes it ideal for a wide range of cruising sailboats or medium to large motorboats where intermediate thrust is required without the over-dimensioning of a Type 3. It is critical to ensure that the mounting structure of the ram, as well as the tiller arm or rudder quadrant, are sized to withstand the specified peak thrust levels to guarantee reliability and safety at sea. Professional installation is strongly recommended, particularly for precise alignment of the ram and connection to the steering system. The hydraulic system filling and bleeding procedure must be carried out with absolute rigor to avoid any introduction of air, which could significantly degrade the responsiveness and precision of steering. The ability to quickly disengage the ram from the steering system is a significant advantage for safety and ease of manual intervention in emergencies or during maintenance. This 24 V model is the logical choice for integration into existing 24 V electrical architectures, eliminating the need for voltage converters or separate systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the primary function of the Raymarine E12208 hydraulic linear actuator?

The Raymarine E12208 hydraulic linear actuator is a critical component for autopilot systems. It provides steering by delivering the necessary hydraulic force to the tiller arm or quadrant of your vessel.

What is the required supply voltage for the Raymarine E12208 hydraulic linear actuator?

The Raymarine E12208 hydraulic linear actuator is designed specifically for vessels equipped with a 24 V electrical system.

What is the difference between the Raymarine E12208 linear hydraulic ram (type 2) and the type 3 models?

The E12208 is a Type 2 cylinder, optimized for mechanical steering systems requiring intermediate thrust force. Type 3 cylinders, such as the M81202 (12 V) and M81203 (24 V), are designed for more demanding applications in terms of boat size and rudder load, offering higher thrust power.

Which Raymarine autopilot systems is the E12208 linear drive compatible with?

The E12208 linear drive is compatible with Raymarine course computers. Additional information on hydraulic linear drive operation and compatible course computers is provided in the SPX system installation guides and SPX system commissioning instructions, as well as in the SeaTalkng reference manual.

What are the important precautions to take when installing the E12208 hydraulic linear actuator?

Absolute cleanliness: It is crucial to maintain impeccable cleanliness when handling the hydraulic system to prevent particles from entering that could impair the function of the check valves.Structural strength: The actuator must be mounted on a very solid structure of the vessel, capable of withstanding considerable mechanical force. The structure, tiller arm, or quadrant must be able to handle peak thrust levels.Safety: Ensure the vessel's power supply is turned off before starting installation. Keep hands away from moving parts to avoid any risk of pinching.

How can I manually disengage the ram in case of failure?

In case of failure, you can manually disengage the ram. To do so, pull the red tab to release the R-clip. Then lift the drive unit manually to disengage it from the tiller shaft and the steering mechanism. Note that a washer is present under the R-clip.

Is this actuator suitable for all types of boats?

The E12208 actuator is designed for mechanical steering systems and is suitable for a wide range of sailboats and motorboats requiring intermediate thrust force. Its 24 V power supply makes it compatible with the electrical systems of larger vessels.
