The Octopus 1000cc/min Reversing Piston Pump 12Vdc, part number OCTAF1012, is an autopilot pump designed for marine steering systems. This Type 1 adjustable reversing pump is suitable for hydraulic cylinders up to 15 cubic inches. Utilizing piston pump technology, it aims to provide efficient hydraulic output with reduced power consumption compared to standard gear pumps. The design minimizes oil leakage, contributing to precise rudder positioning and potentially sharper steering. This precision can reduce the need for a Rudder Feedback unit in non-RFB pilot systems, simplifying installation. The pump features an adjustable flow rate, allowing configuration of the ram speed to suit specific vessel requirements. Additionally, it incorporates inbuilt shut-off valves in the manifold, enabling pump isolation for servicing without requiring the steering system to be drained.
This Octopus piston pump is designed for use with hydraulic cylinders up to 15 cubic inches.
The piston pump design aims to deliver over twice the hydraulic output per watt of input compared to standard gear pumps. Its accurate ram positioning can reduce unnecessary course corrections, potentially cutting battery consumption by up to half.
No, this pump is designed for non-RFB pilot systems. Its precise ram positioning eliminates the need for a Rudder Feedback unit, simplifying installation.
The adjustable flow rate allows the user to precisely control the speed of the ram. This enables setting the optimal hard over time for the vessel, which can reduce unnecessary battery consumption, pressure, strain, and wear on the hydraulic system.
