Electrohydraulic steering gears of РМ type
Steering gears are designed for operation and installation in single- and double rudders gears aboard ships of various purposes. In double rudders gears, synchronous rudders shifting is provided by the upper level system.
Steering gears satisfy requirements of Russian and foreign classification societies.
Electrohydraulic steering gears РМ160-2, РМ250-2 and РМ400-2 of standard size PM have similar design scheme:
- Four-cylinder, power drive of ram-link-motion type with manual or automatic actuation of four cylinders (main operation mode) or two cylinders (separate hydraulic systems) with other two cylinders with a damaged pipeline being disconnected;
- Three motor-driven pump units – two main units and one stand-by; main pump units can be installed on the power drive or separately; the stand-by unit is installed separately from the power drive;
- Auxiliary hydraulic equipment;
- Start-protecting and signalling electric equipment connected to ship’s mains, 3-phase a.c., 50 Hz, 380 V;
- Local control system with indication of the steering gear parameters or control system of "Corrax" type.
Local control system is adapted to any digital system of upper level providing remote operation mode with such control types as "Automat", "Follow-up", "Non-follow-up".
Local operation mode includes such control types as "Follow-up" and "Non-follow-up".
