Lineáris tolattyú típus 1 a GHP 12-hez

The Garmin linear actuator type 1 is specifically designed for sailboats with a displacement of up to 13 tonnes (approximately 28,500 pounds).

This linear actuator delivers a maximum thrust of 400 kg (approximately 800 pounds), ensuring responsive and precise rudder movements.

The maximum stroke of this linear actuator is 303 mm (approximately 12 inches). It is important to note that the stroke must be limited to 294 mm (11.57 inches) by external physical stops to prevent damage to the unit.

The Garmin linear actuator type 1 operates with a supply voltage between 10 V and 30 V.

Average power consumption of this actuator is as follows:

Average clutch consumption: 0.5 A at 12 V. Average motor consumption: 1 to 2 A at 12 V.

The Garmin linear actuator Type 1 is designed to operate within a temperature range from -15 °C to 60 °C (5 °F to 140 °F).

This is a standalone mechanical training unit, providing targeted efficiency for sailboat steering.

No, this linear actuator is not waterproof. It must be installed in a location where it will not be exposed to immersion, splashes, or water spray, as exposure to water could damage it.

This linear actuator is specifically designed for seamless integration with Garmin GHP 12, GHP Reactor, and Reactor Mechanical autopilots.

Yes, the Garmin linear actuator type 1 is compatible with an external rudder angle sensor for increased steering accuracy.

Yes, you can connect the linear actuator to an existing quadrant or a tiller arm. The tiller arm is not included with the actuator.

The included tiller pin is designed for use with a quadrant or tiller arm with a maximum thickness of 20 mm (0.79 inches).

Professional installation of the linear actuator is highly recommended, as specific knowledge of the rudder's operation is required for correct installation and to achieve optimal performance.

The actuator must be installed in a location where it will not be exposed to immersion, water droplets, or hose spray. It is essential to mount it in a dry place, as water exposure would damage the equipment. Additionally, no part of the actuator must come into contact with the boat, the quadrant, or the tiller arm throughout its full range of motion.

Yes, installing physical stops (not included) is mandatory. They must limit the cylinder stroke to 294 mm (11.57 inches) between its fully retracted and fully extended positions. The cylinder must never be used as a stroke limiter, as this would damage it.

For installation, you will need the following items:

A tiller arm specific to your boat (not included).Physical stops (not included).Mounting hardware (bolts, washers and nuts, not included).Tools such as safety glasses, a drill and bits, wrenches, an M8 hex socket or screwdriver.

No, it is imperative not to cut the cables connected to the linear actuator. Cutting the actuator cables would void any possibility of repair or replacement in case of a problem.
