B&G Hydraulic Ram T2 – 12V

Connect a compatible hydraulic steering system to a B&G autopilot with the B&G Hydraulic Ram T2 12V. This 12V linear drive is specified for vessels up to 20,000 kg, or 44,000 lb, displacement and uses a 250 mm, or 10 inch, stroke. It works with NAC-3 and AC42 autopilot computers, while the mechanical installation attaches to a tiller arm or steering quadrant. Plan the drive selection around the existing steering geometry and vessel displacement.

Typical current draw ranges from 8A to 15A, requiring a properly planned 12V electrical circuit. The ram has an IPX6 rating for external parts and operates from minus 10°C to 55°C. It is compatible with internal linear feedback, while the supplied package contains the ram unit, mounting foot, and hardware. A heading sensor, autopilot computer, control display, and complete steering system remain separate system requirements.

Drive and Steering Integration

This B&G hydraulic ram is a linear steering drive, not an independent autopilot control display or heading sensor. It connects to compatible hydraulic steering systems through a tiller arm or steering quadrant. The system requires a compatible NAC-3 or AC42 autopilot computer, vessel heading source, steering hardware, electrical circuit, and properly matched mechanical geometry.

The 250 mm stroke and the 20,000 kg displacement limit should be reviewed against the exact vessel and steering installation before ordering. Mounting, hydraulic connections, tiller-arm geometry, cable routing, and feedback requirements should follow B&G documentation. Internal linear feedback compatibility is specified, but system requirements vary with the selected autopilot and steering configuration.

Why Choose the B&G Hydraulic Ram T2 12V

The B&G Hydraulic Ram T2 12V provides a 250 mm linear-drive option for compatible hydraulic steering systems on vessels up to 20,000 kg displacement. Buyers can compare its 12V supply, 8A to 15A typical current draw, NAC-3 and AC42 compatibility, tiller-arm or quadrant mounting, internal linear-feedback compatibility, IPX6 external-parts rating, and included mounting foot with other autopilot drive types.

Warranty and Support

B&G warranty terms vary by product and region, and the supplied specifications do not provide a named warranty period for this hydraulic ram. can help you review vessel displacement, 250 mm stroke, hydraulic steering compatibility, NAC-3 or AC42 requirements, mounting geometry, 12V power needs, and included ram components before purchase. Review the applicable B&G warranty coverage and documented package contents before ordering.

Before Ordering the B&G Hydraulic Ram T2 12V

Confirm that your vessel has a compatible hydraulic steering system, a tiller arm or steering quadrant, an NAC-3 or AC42 autopilot computer, and a displacement at or below 20,000 kg, or 44,000 lb. You should verify the 250 mm stroke requirement, ram mounting geometry, 12V circuit capacity, 8A to 15A current range, hydraulic connections, internal-feedback needs, and included mounting-foot hardware before purchase.
