Hydraulic Reversing Pump PR+
Hydraulic Pump for marine hydraulic steering
Hydraulic Pump for marine hydraulic steering
Manufactured in our factory in the UK and designed for the marine autopilot market, these quiet gear pumps are the drives of choice for major autopilot manufacturers around the world. The range from 0.6 to 2.5 litres per minute is water resistant to IP67 and fully certified to the Recreational Craft Directive (including ignition protection) and the navigational EMC standard. With low power consumption and high performance these pumps are ideal for all types of marine craft.
Hydraulic Actuator ML+40
Integrated Hydraulic Pump, Actuator & Reservoir
Integrated Hydraulic Pump, Actuator & Reservoir
Founded 50 years ago, Hydraulic Projects Ltd have always manufactured power units for the marine industry. The first integrated hydraulic linear actuator was produced in 1991, winning our founder the British Design Award. Since then the actuator family has been improved with inter-changeable motors and significantly reduced back-drive. These quiet units combine a cylinder, pump and reservoir in one neat self-contained package and are widely used on sailing yachts with primary mechanical steering.
Constant Running Pumps PC45 & PC30
Constant running pumps for marine steering
Constant running pumps for marine steering
The versatile PC constant running power units use a heavy-duty fan cooled motor driving a choice of 2 pumps giving outputs of up to either 3.0 or 4.5 L/min.
For use in heavy duty applications on larger yachts or commercial craft these units come fitted with pressure compensated flow controls, relief valves and cylinder lock valves as standard. Developed specifically for marine autopilot applications in the commercial and larger pleasure boat market the PC pumps can be used with single or twin ram systems.
