Octopus Autopilot Drives - 2000cc/min Reversing Piston Pump - 12Vdc
Advanced Piston Pump Technology for Superior Performance
The Octopus Autopilot Drives 2000cc/min Reversing Piston Pump 12Vdc is designed for precision, efficiency, and reliability in marine applications. Utilizing patented piston pump technology with only three moving parts, this system ensures enhanced durability and exceptional performance. Unlike standard hydraulic gear pumps that leak oil between gears, the Octopus piston pump precisely positions the cylinder ram, resulting in sharper steering and fewer course corrections. This translates to reduced battery consumption and a more efficient autopilot system for your vessel.
Unmatched Efficiency and Power
With an innovative design, the Octopus piston pump delivers over twice the hydraulic output per watt of input compared to traditional gear pumps. This means your vessel benefits from superior power while maintaining lower energy consumption. The pump's accurate ram positioning minimizes unnecessary adjustments, reducing power draw and extending operational longevity.
Customizable Flow Rate for Optimal Performance
One of the standout features of this pump is its adjustable flow rate, allowing users to fine-tune the performance to match their vessel's steering requirements. Unlike fixed-speed pumps that often operate inefficiently, the Octopus Variable Flow Reversing Pump optimizes the speed of the ram, reducing strain and wear on the hydraulic system. This customization ensures precise steering and smoother navigation under varying marine conditions.
Simplified Installation and Maintenance
Designed with user convenience in mind, the pump features built-in shut-off valves, allowing for easy removal without the need to drain the entire steering system. Additionally, its design eliminates the need for a Rudder Feedback unit in non-RFB pilot systems, simplifying the installation process while maintaining superior steering accuracy.
