Siłownik liniowy typ 1 do GHP 12

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 on 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 water-resistant. 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 tiller arm. The tiller arm is not included with the actuator.

The included tiller pin is designed to be used with a quadrant or tiller arm with a maximum thickness of 20 mm (0.79 in).

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

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

Yes, installing physical stops (not included) is mandatory. They must limit the cylinder travel to 294 mm (11.57 inches) between its fully retracted and fully extended positions. The cylinder must never be used as a travel 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 critical 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 failure.
