Key Features and Specifications

Equipped with a 38mm bore cylinder and a 7" stroke, the Octopus Linear Drive delivers variable flow rates of up to 5000cc or 1 litre per minute, ensuring optimal performance for a wide range of marine applications. The pump operates at an average current of 4-6 amps and a maximum current of 19amps, making it powerful yet energy-efficient. Its hardover time is suggested to be between 12-14 seconds, ensuring quick response to steering commands. The maximum rudder torque of 750Nm/6,630lbin and peak thrust of 400Kg/882lbs provide the necessary force for efficient steering, even in challenging conditions. Additionally, the pump is suitable for boats up to 14m/45 feet in length, making it versatile for various vessel sizes.

Practical Uses and Benefits

The Octopus 38mm Bore Linear Drive is a simple yet effective solution for driving the rudder on your boat. Its integration with an Octopus reversing pump and marine hydraulic cylinder ensures seamless operation and enhanced steering control. When the autopilot is not in use, the cylinder runs freely, allowing the rudder to move with ease. However, when the autopilot is activated, the solenoid valve locks the cylinder, ensuring precise and consistent steering. The actuator's small translucent oil reservoir makes it easy to check fluid levels, adding to its user-friendly design. With only five moving parts, the Octopus Linear Drive offers exceptional reliability and ease of service, making it a favorite among offshore mariners. Plus, the pump is shipped from our factory completely filled with oil and requires no additional plumbing, simplifying installation and maintenance. Choose the Octopus 38mm Bore Linear Drive for a robust, efficient, and reliable marine steering solution.
