It is typically used on sailboats and mid-size yachts to drive the rudder actuator with exact ram positioning, delivering faster, cleaner steering with reduced battery drain.\u003c\/p\u003e ✅ TWICE THE POWER: The piston design delivers over twice the hydraulic output per watt vs gear pumps. \u003cbr\u003e\n✅ HALF THE POWER CONSUMPTION: Precise ram positioning minimizes corrections and energy use. \u003cbr\u003e\n✅ PINPOINT ACCURACY: Ram returns to required position, often removing the need for a Rudder Feedback unit. \u003cbr\u003e\n✅ INBUILT SHUT-OFF VALVES: Isolates the pump for service without draining the steering circuit. \u003cbr\u003e\n✅ ADJUSTABLE FLOW RATE: Fine-tune hard-over time to match your boat’s cylinder ram and sailing conditions. \u003cbr\u003e 💡 What is a reversing piston pump used for in marine autopilot systems?\nHere's a concise explanation.\n- Provides precise ram control by directly driving the hydraulic cylinder with a piston, minimizing leakage.\n- Improves efficiency by delivering higher hydraulic output per watt and reducing power waste.\n- Simplifies installation with built-in shut-off valves and fewer components like Rudder Feedback units.\n- Helps extend battery life on vessels with power constraints.\nThis handy setup keeps autopilot performance strong and energy-smart across varied seas. \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bearings Canada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52222465179967,"sku":"VXB00H2JRKH8","price":1616.07,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0887\/4750\/8031\/files\/octopus-reversing-piston-pump-front-view.jpg?v=1772831415","url":"https:\/\/bearingscanada.com\/products\/octopus-octaf202417141-reversing-piston-pump-10-31","provider":"Bearings Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
