Hydraulic steering systems with electric power assistance
When the size of the vessel or the loads on the rudder require higher performance than that provided by a manual steering system, electric power assistance is the ideal solution to maintain steering precision and driving comfort.
BCS Marine electrically power-assisted steering systems combine the reliability of traditional hydraulic systems with the comfort and precision provided by electro-hydraulic assistance.
Designed to reduce steering effort and improve steering sensitivity, they represent the ideal solution for vessels requiring high maneuvering performance and significant steering loads.
Thanks to the integration of hydraulic and electronic components, these systems ensure smooth, precise and reliable control in every operating condition, while maintaining ease of installation and low maintenance requirements.
Power-Assisted Hydraulic Power Units
Hydraulic power units for power-assisted steering are designed to provide the power and responsiveness required for correct steering system operation.
Available in a wide range of configurations for pleasure and professional use, they are sized according to the characteristics of the vessel and the operating requirements of the system.
The compact design and high level of component integration reduce onboard space requirements, simplifying installation and maintenance operations and reducing fitting-out times.
The high reliability of the components, combined with perfect integration with the BCS Marine product range, makes it possible to create efficient, precise and long-lasting systems.
