Raymarine Rotary Drive Type 2 – 12V
Chain-and-sprocket steering wheels on cruising vessels up to 44,000 lbs gain 3,000 lb-in of torque from this Raymarine Type 2 rotary drive, turning a 33 RPM shaft via #40 or #50 chain links at 12V.
- 3000 lb-in torque moves 44000-lb vessels
- 33 RPM shaft speed delivers rapid response
- Electromechanical clutch ensures zero manual helm drag
- Cast aluminum housing resists corrosive engine rooms
The Raymarine Rotary Drive Type 2 12V is a heavy-duty electromechanical chain-drive actuator for compatible mechanically steered vessels. It uses a reversing 12V DC motor to turn the steering shaft through a correctly sized marine chain and sprocket arrangement. The drive is intended for vessels up to 20,000 kg, or 44,000 lb, displacement, and must be used as part of a complete autopilot system with a compatible actuator control unit, control head, heading sensor, and steering linkage. [252][264]
The Type 2 rotary drive develops up to 3,000 lb-in, or 340 Nm, of peak torque and has a listed shaft speed of 33 RPM. It draws 5A to 7A typically and up to 15A under full load. The 6 kg cast-alloy drive measures approximately 255 mm deep by 160 mm wide and includes a sprocket and installation hardware. Its electromechanical clutch reduces steering drag when disengaged for manual helm control.
Before Ordering
Confirm a compatible mechanically steered vessel up to 44,000 lb, a matched high-current course computer or ACU, steering-shaft and chain access, correctly engineered sprocket ratio, #40 or #50 chain compatibility, 12V power, 15A peak circuit capacity, 255 mm by 160 mm mounting space, structural support, and protected installation environment before purchase.
