Linearna gred za tip 1 za GHP 12

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

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

This is a standalone mechanical drive 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 enhanced 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 inches).

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

The hydraulic ram 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 area, as exposure to water would damage the equipment. Additionally, no part of the hydraulic ram should come into contact with the boat, quadrant, or tiller arm throughout its full range of motion.

Yes, installing physical stops (not included) is mandatory. They must limit the actuator stroke to 294 mm (11.57 inches) between its fully retracted and fully extended positions. The actuator 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 drill bits, wrenches, an M8 hex bit or screwdriver.

No, it is essential not to cut the cables connected to the linear actuator. Cutting the actuator's cables would void any possibility of repair or replacement in case of failure.
