DD15 teljesítményelem

A DD15-es teljesítménymodul maximális 150 Nm-es nyomatékot biztosít, pontos kormányvezérlést tesz lehetővé, még nehéz körülmények között is.

A DD15 teljesítménymodul egysége tökéletesen integrálható a B&G (H5000, Triton²) és a Simrad (AP44, AP48) automata kormányrendszerekkel.

A DD15-es teljesítménymodul 12 V DC tápegységről működik.

Nem, a közvetlen meghajtású kialakítása miatt a DD15-es teljesítményegység sokkal halkabb, mint a kábeles vagy hidraulikus rendszerek.

Nem, a mechanikai hatékonysága révén a DD15-es teljesítménymodul energiafogyasztása optimalizált, ami jelentős előnyt jelent a nagy tengeri túrák során.

A részletes telepítési utasításokat a termékkel együtt szállítjuk. Az installálás megkezdése előtt ajánlott alaposan áttanulmányozni azokat.

Ahogy minden tengeri berendezésnek, a DD15-es teljesítményegységnek is rendszeres karbantartásra van szüksége a megfelelő működés és hosszú élettartam érdekében. Ajánlott a gyártó karbantartási utasításait követni.

A DD15 teljesítményegység ugyanaz a B&G és a Simrad márkákhoz. A két márka automata kormányzó rendszereivel kompatibilis kialakítású.

A DD15 teljesítményegység optimálisan 30-40 láb közötti méretű vitorlásokra lett tervezve. Nagyobb méretű vitorláson történő használata kompromittálhatja a teljesítményét és a megbízhatóságát.

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

The DD15 power unit weighs 12 kg (26.5 lbs). This optimized weight makes installation aboard easier without compromising the boat's structural performance.

Yes, the DD15 is compatible with several Simrad autopilots. The achievable rudder torques vary depending on the 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 pancake motor (flat-wound motor). This motor type offers several advantages: high starting torque, immediate response to autopilot control signals, 72.5 % efficiency, 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 wheel operation without resistance. Its power consumption is only 1.2 A at 12V when powered.

The DD15 electromagnetic clutch offers several advantages:

Low friction in disengaged mode, making manual handling 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 is supplied with an RF300 rudder feedback unit and a 10-meter cable. This feedback unit is essential for transmitting the rudder position to the autopilot computer.

Installing the DD15 requires precise mounting centers for a 72° (2x36°) tiller travel. Two configurations are available:

Output center 130 mm, offset distance 106 mm, tiller center 200 mmOutput center 165 mm, offset distance 127 mm, tiller center 250 mmFollow the provided installation manual to ensure optimal operation.

The length of the pushrod depends on the installation configuration. 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 suitable for 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 flat-wound motor of the DD15 shows an efficiency of 72.5%, which is significantly higher than the maximum 50% 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 RF return unit must be mounted on the provided 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 tiller quadrant, whereas a hydraulic system uses a ram and pressurized fluid. The DD15 offers a more direct response, less play, simpler installation, and reduced power consumption. It is particularly suited to sailboats of 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 at a voltage of 12V.

The average electrical consumption of the DD15 unit is 2 amperes 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 full rudder.

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

The DD15 unit uses a flat-wound electric pancake motor. This motor type provides high starting torque and an 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 return unit featuring a 10-metre cable.

For an installation with a tiller swing of 72° (2x36°), the following center-to-center dimensions apply:

Output center-to-center: 130 mm, Offset distance: 106 mm, Rudder stock center-to-center: 200 mm Output center-to-center: 165 mm, Offset distance: 127 mm, Rudder stock center-to-center: 250 mm

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