Sestav rotorja in sklopke (clutch rotor assy) N007

This clutch is specifically designed to be compatible with the Raymarine Type 1 and Raymarine Type 2 rotary drive units. It is not compatible with other models or types of drive units.

Replacement is usually necessary if you notice one or more of the following symptoms:

The autopilot 'slips' and fails to maintain course.The autopilot engages or disengages noisily or does not do so properly.The autopilot no longer engages at all, even if the electronics appear to be working.You feel abnormal resistance on the helm when the autopilot is disengaged.

Yes, the clutch rotor assy N007 is an original spare part manufactured by Raymarine. Using an official part ensures perfect compatibility and optimal performance for your equipment.

Operation is simple:

When you engage the autopilot, an electrical voltage is sent to the clutch. This electromagnet locks, coupling the engine to the steering system.When you disengage the autopilot, the current is cut. The clutch releases, offering no resistance and allowing you to steer manually.

Replacing the clutch requires basic mechanical skills and some care. You need to disassemble part of the power unit to access the part. If you are not comfortable with this type of repair, it is recommended to have it done by a qualified technician.

No highly specific tools are generally required. However, you will need a basic set of mechanical tools, such as wrenches, screwdrivers, and potentially circlip pliers, depending on the exact assembly of your power unit.

No, not at all. This clutch is designed for a rotary power unit, which drives the rudder via a chain and pinion. Linear actuator autopilots have a completely different clutch system.

Continuing to use a faulty clutch means you cannot rely on your autopilot. The steering function will either be inoperative or unreliable, which can pose safety issues, especially with a reduced crew or during long offshore passages.

Yes, this is an essential precaution. Before any work on the power unit, you must absolutely cut the autopilot's power supply at the circuit breaker or electrical panel to prevent any risk of short-circuit or accidental motor activation.

Yes, the clutch is an electromagnet. It is powered by two electrical wires. During replacement, you will need to disconnect the wires from the old clutch and reconnect those of the new one.

The term "clutch rotor assy" (assembly) indicates it is a complete assembled unit that includes both the clutch (the electromagnetic part) and the rotor (the moving part that transmits motion). You receive the full replacement part.
