| 7172 electronic helm |
The Model 7172¡¯s basic purpose is to provide an electronic signal to the hydraulic steering gear for positioning of the rudder.
Normally the 7172 is equipped with two potentiometers.
The first would be used with our 7173 interface to send the rudder to either port or starboard. This gives precise rudder positioning, when used in conjunction with our 7168 or 7174 feed-back units.
The second potentiometer can be used to indicate rudder demand. The actual rudder position is fed back via the 7168 or 7174 to separate the rudder angle indicator 7175.
The construction of our 7172 is all bronze and stainless steel, and is designed to give years of trouble-free service. Straight ahead detent is provided. The wheel has approximately three turns from hardover to hardover.
The heavy duty construction allows the helmsman to hang onto the wheel in the roughest of weather without causing any damage to this unit. |
