Pump
The manual pump is an axial piston pump which makes it possible to suck and force back the
oil contained in the circuit when the wheel is turned. Its cubic capacity determines the number of
turns required for a lock to lock manoeuvre. The pump is fitted with a lock valve which prevents
rudder or motor movement when the helm is not operated.
Cylinder
The cylinder is the dictating element towards the selection of a system as it gives the power to
the steering system. Very safe and reliable cylinders. Can work with very high pressure levels!
Working principle
When the helm is turned to starboard, the pump sucks the oil from the port circuit and
pushes it back into the starboard circuit, thus driving the cylinder rodwhich in turn
displaces the rudder or motor. The cylinder body is fixed to the boat.
High quality
L&S systems carry a 2 year warranty and our range of cylinders for fishing and work boats is
approved by Classification Societies such as BV, ABS, LRS, GL and others. All the cylinders and pumps are CE approved.
