Detailed description

Designed for the Garmin GHP 12 autopilot system, the Garmin type 2 linear actuator (part number 010-11573-00) is a self-contained Class B hydraulic drive unit. This actuator is specifically suited for sailboats with a displacement of up to 35.8 tonnes (79,000 lbs). It provides the necessary rudder power for precise and reliable autopilot steering.

Integration and technical performance

The type 2 linear actuator features full integration, including a rudder angle feedback sensor. This feature is essential for the GHP 12 autopilot controller, as it enables accurate display of the rudder position, contributing to smooth maneuvers and preventing overcompensation. The unit is designed to handle a maximum thrust of 2380 lbs (1080 kg) and operates on a supply voltage of 10 to 30 Vdc, with an average current draw of 3-4 A for the motor and 1 A for the clutch at 12 V. Its 303 mm (12 inches) stroke provides sufficient movement range for most rudder configurations.

Design and reliability for the marine environment

The drive unit is designed for installation below deck, ensuring resilience in the under-deck environment. It also complies with the EMC standard (EN 60945:2002) for maritime navigation and radio communication equipment. It is engineered for robust below-deck installation, avoiding exposure to extreme temperatures, excessive vibrations, and fumes. Unlike systems requiring complex hydraulic connections, this actuator is factory pre-filled and tested, simplifying installation while requiring physical stops to limit stroke and prevent unit damage. It complements the GHP 12, which requires an external power unit matched to the vessel’s displacement.

« Analysis of Garmin type 2 linear actuator for GHP 12 »

The Garmin type 2 linear actuator is a critical component for any installation of a GHP 12 autopilot on mid-sized to large sailboats. It is not just an actuator, but the essential power unit that enables the GHP 12’s manoeuvring capability. Its design as a self-contained, pre-filled, and factory-tested hydraulic unit significantly simplifies initial setup, avoiding the complex bleeding often required with external hydraulic systems.

This model is particularly suited to sailboats with a displacement up to 35.8 tonnes. The integration of the rudder angle feedback sensor is a major advantage, providing improved heading accuracy and responsiveness. Installation requires expertise in marine mechanics for physical mounting and the mandatory fitting of external end-stop stops. It is critical not to use the actuator as a travel limiter. Positioning below deck and adhering to maximum tilt angles of 5 degrees are essential to ensure the unit’s longevity. This actuator is the obvious choice for maximizing GHP 12 system performance on sailboats in this category.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What type of hydraulic ram is the Garmin 010-11573-00 and what is it designed for?

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

What is the maximum thrust this ram can provide?

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

Does this ram include a rudder angle sensor?

Yes, the type 2 linear actuator is distinguished by its complete 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.

What is the stroke length of the Garmin 010-11573-00 linear actuator?

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

What is the required supply voltage for this linear actuator?

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

What is the power consumption of this linear actuator?

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

Does the installation of this ram require professional skills?

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

Should this actuator be installed below deck?

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

Should hydraulic hoses be disconnected when installing this ram?

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

Is physical stops for the tiller required during installation?

Yes, the cylinder 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 the fully retracted and fully extended positions.

What components are not included and required for the installation of this hydraulic ram?

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 the end stops to limit the tiller's travel.

Are there any precautions to take regarding the mounting location of the actuator?

Yes, the ram must be securely mounted on a surface capable of withstanding the strong thrust 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.
