ROLLS-ROYCE TENFJORD STEERING GEAR

ROLLS-ROYCE STEERING GEAR-TENFJORD is a heavy-duty marine electro-hydraulic steering gear system originally developed by Tenfjord, later acquired by Rolls-Royce Marine. This marine electro-hydraulic steering gear system converts bridge steering commands into hydraulic oil flow to actuate rudder cylinder and control vessel rudder angle. This marine electro-hydraulic steering gear system provides closed-loop rudder position feedback for accurate heading control under different sea conditions. This marine electro-hydraulic steering gear system integrates hydraulic power unit, manifold, servo valves and control PCB for ship manoeuvring.

This unit is a vital marine steering gear spare part assembly for cargo ships, offshore vessels and supply vessel overhaul. The marine steering gear spare part assembly receives setpoint signals from bridge steering wheel and autopilot system. The marine steering gear spare part assembly monitors rudder angle, hydraulic pressure and oil temperature continuously. The marine steering gear spare part assembly can replace faulty control and hydraulic components to restore vessel steering function.

It delivers reliable rudder angle closed-loop regulation for marine vessel manoeuvring systems. The rudder angle closed-loop regulation routes high-pressure hydraulic oil to move rudder stock precisely. The rudder angle closed-loop regulation compensates load disturbance during vessel turning. The rudder angle closed-loop regulation triggers alarms for low oil pressure, high temperature and rudder limit faults.

TENFJORD steering gear is installed inside vessel steering gear room. It is classic marine electro-hydraulic steering system for merchant ships and offshore platforms.
