Rudder Position Transmitter

Rudder position transmitter

Sensing the absolute value of the rudder angle

The Rudder Position Transmitter senses the absolute value of the rudder angle. It has been designed for direct mounting on the hydraulic tilt ram of the steering gear. The position determined in this way is expressed in both digital and analogue form, allowing the rudder position information to be processed as desired. An additional mechanical scale is mounted on the RPT for optical pick-up of the measured value.
