How Ship Steering Works? (Hydraulic Steering System) 

Thank you for the comment. Sure. Do share and support

He meant the command signal or order from bridge is an electrical signal to actuator in steering gear room which maybe, telemotor or electrical solenoids valves.

Thank you! Cheers!

A hydraulic steering gear system uses hydraulic pressure to operate the steering mechanism of a vehicle or vessel. The system consists of a hydraulic pump, hoses, and a steering mechanism. When the driver turns the steering wheel, the pump creates pressure in the hydraulic system, which then activates the steering mechanism, causing the wheels or rudder to turn in the desired direction. An electro-hydraulic steering gear system uses both hydraulic pressure and electronic controls to operate the steering mechanism. The system consists of a hydraulic pump, hoses, electronic sensors, and a control unit. The driver's input is transmitted to the control unit through electronic sensors, which then determines the appropriate hydraulic pressure to be applied to the steering mechanism to turn the wheels or rudder in the desired direction. In summary, the main difference between hydraulic and electro-hydraulic steering gear systems is that the latter incorporates electronic controls and sensors to provide more precise and efficient control of the steering mechanism

Easy to maintain

@@marineinsight Thanks

👍

Actuator helps turn the Rudder.

and what about stopping?
