Octopus Autopilot Drives - 1200cc/min Reversing Piston Pump - 12Vdc
Advanced Hydraulic Efficiency for Precision Steering
The Octopus Autopilot Drives 1200cc/min Reversing Piston Pump 12Vdc is engineered for superior hydraulic performance in marine autopilot systems. Featuring patented piston pump technology, this unit maximizes efficiency by delivering over twice the hydraulic output per watt of input compared to conventional gear pumps. Its precision-driven design enhances rudder accuracy, reducing unnecessary course corrections and optimizing battery consumption.
Unlike traditional gear pumps that leak oil between the gears, the piston pump mechanism ensures exact ram positioning, leading to sharper steering response and improved energy efficiency. This advanced technology eliminates the need for a Rudder Feedback unit in non-RFB pilot systems, simplifying installation while maintaining exceptional control.
Optimized Power and Performance
The Octopus 1200cc/min Reversing Piston Pump is designed to operate efficiently with lower power consumption. Its adjustable flow rate allows for performance customization based on the specific vessel requirements, ensuring the best balance between speed, accuracy, and energy efficiency.
Additionally, built-in shut-off valves in the pump manifold provide easy servicing, allowing the pump to be removed without draining the hydraulic steering system. This feature ensures seamless maintenance while maintaining system integrity.
