Jedinica snage DD15 namijenjena je za jednostavnu integraciju s sustavima autopilota B&G (H5000, Triton²) i Simrad (AP44, AP48).

Jedinica snage DD15 radi na napajanju od 12 V DC.

Ne, zahvaljujući izravnom pogonu, jedinica snage DD15 znatno je tiša od sustava s užetom ili hidrauličnim pogonom.

Ne, zahvaljujući svojoj mehaničkoj učinkovitosti, jedinica snage DD15 ima optimiziranu potrošnju energije, što je značajan plus na dugotrajnim kruzerskim plovidbama.

Detaljna uputstva za instalaciju priložena su uz proizvod. Preporučuje se temeljito ih pročitati prije početka instalacije.

Kao i svaka pomorska oprema, napajna jedinica DD15 zahtijeva redovito održavanje kako bi osigurala ispravan rad i dugotrajnost. Preporučuje se pridržavanje uputa proizvođača za održavanje.

Jedinica snage DD15 ista je za marke B&G i Simrad. Namijenjena je kompatibilnosti s sustavima autopilota obiju marki.

Jedinica snage DD15 optimirana je za jedrilice od 30 do 40 stopa. Njezina uporaba na većoj jedrilici može ugroziti performanse i pouzdanost.

The average power consumption of the DD15 is 2 amps at 12V. This low consumption is achieved thanks to a pancake motor (flat-winding motor) with an efficiency of 72.5%, significantly higher than standard DC motors.

The DD15 power unit weighs 12 kg (26.5 lb). This optimized weight facilitates installation on board without compromising the boat's structural performance.

Yes, the DD15 is compatible with several Simrad autopilot computers. The achievable rudder torques vary by model:

AC10 (J3000X): 73 kgm at tiller, 140 kgm at full rudder
AC20 (J300X): 80 kgm at tiller, 150 kgm at full rudder
AC42N, NAC-3, AC70: 80 kgm at tiller, 150 kgm at full rudder

The DD15 uses a flat-wound (pancake) motor. This motor type offers several advantages: high starting torque, immediate response to autopilot control signals, an efficiency of 72.5%, and compact dimensions relative to the power output.

The DD15 is equipped with a patented electromagnetic clutch. Unlike friction clutches, it uses two electrically controlled spring pins that engage or disengage the ring gear of the planetary gear train. When unpowered, the clutch is disengaged, allowing manual steering without resistance. Its power consumption is only 1.2 A at 12 V when powered.

The DD15 electromagnetic clutch offers several advantages:

Low friction in disengaged mode, making manual operation easierReduced power consumption (1.2 A at 12V)No wear over time, unlike friction clutchesPrecise engagement and disengagement controlled by the autopilot's computer

Yes, the DD15 is designed for sailboats from 30 to 40 feet. With an output torque of 150 Kgm, it is perfectly suited to a 35-foot sailboat, whether for cruising or regattas, providing precise and responsive helm control.

The DD15 operates on a 12V DC supply, both for the motor and the clutch. It is therefore compatible with the standard power supply of sailboats.

The DD15 drive unit ships with an RF300 rudder feedback unit and a 10-metre cable. This feedback unit is essential for transmitting the rudder position to the autopilot computer.

Installing the DD15 requires precise operation centers to be respected for a 72° (2x36°) rudder swing. Two configurations are possible:

Output center 130 mm, offset distance 106 mm, rudder center 200 mmOutput center 165 mm, offset distance 127 mm, rudder center 250 mmIt is recommended to follow the provided installation manual to ensure optimal operation.

The draglink length depends on the installation setup. Several options are available:

200-300 mm (DL2030)300-400 mm (DL3040)400-500 mm (DL4050)500-600 mm (DL5060)Custom length on requestIt is important to specify the length suited to your installation when ordering.

Yes, the DD15 is designed for seamless integration with B&G autopilot systems (H5000, Triton²) and Simrad (AP44, AP48). It connects directly to the autopilot computer for precise helm control.

The DD15's pancake motor delivers an efficiency of 72.5%, which is significantly higher than the 50% maximum of conventional DC motors. This efficiency results in minimal electrical consumption and maximum mechanical power.

The exact dimensions of the DD15 are detailed in the installation manual (Figure 5-1). The unit is designed to be compact relative to its output power, making it easier to integrate into the often limited space of the helm compartment.

The RF300 tiller pilot feedback unit must be mounted on the supplied bracket using the included screws. With the tiller centered, ensure the transmitter lever and the output lever are parallel and pointing in the same direction. Then attach one end of the pushrod to the output lever.

The DD15 is designed for a rudder travel of 72° (2x36°). The hard-over time depends on the autopilot computer used and the control speed setting.

The DD15 is a direct-drive system that mechanically connects to the rudder quadrant, whereas a hydraulic system uses a ram and pressurized fluid. The DD15 provides a more direct response, less play, simpler installation, and reduced electrical consumption. It is particularly suited to sailboats from 30 to 40 feet where simplicity and efficiency are sought.

The DD15 power unit weighs 12 kg (26.5 lb).

The DD15 power unit motor operates on a 12V supply voltage.

The average power consumption of the DD15 unit is 2 amps at 12V.

The DD15 power unit is designed for sailboats from 30 to 40 feet.

Yes, the DD15 unit is compatible with the Simrad AC10 (J3000X) autopilot computer. In this configuration, the output torque is 73 Kgm at the tiller and 140 Kgm at the full wheel.

Yes, the DD15 is compatible with the Simrad AC20 autopilot computer (J300X). With this autopilot computer, the output torque reaches 80 Kgm at the tiller and 150 Kgm at the wheel.

The DD15 unit uses a pancake motor (flat-wound electric motor). This motor type provides high starting torque and immediate response to autopilot control signals.

When the clutch is powered (engaged), its electrical consumption is 1.2 amperes at 12V.

Yes, the DD15 unit is supplied with an RF300 tiller pilot feedback unit featuring a 10-metre cable.

For an installation with a tiller swing of 72° (2x36°), the mounting hole spacing dimensions are as follows:

Output spacing: 130 mm, Offset distance: 106 mm, Rudder stock spacing: 200 mmOutput spacing: 165 mm, Offset distance: 127 mm, Rudder stock spacing: 250 mm

During installation, mount the rudder feedback unit on the provided bracket. With the tiller centered, ensure the transmitter lever and the output lever are parallel and pointing in the same direction. Then attach one end of the pushrod to the output lever.
