STEERING CABLE The Steering Cable is a push pull mechanical cable which converts the rotary motion of the helm to linear motion at the engine/rudder .
One end of the cable is connected to the helm & the other end to the rudder. Features: Output ends of 316 Stainless Steel Maximum Travel: 9inch (225 mm) Minimum bend radius : 8 inch (200mm) Maximum working load at Tiller end: 5000N (500kg) Cable Outer Diameter: 15.8 mm Spiral inner cable Diameter : 7.8 mm
Mechanical cable steering is durable and reliable and comes in two main forms, each of which has advantages in specific applications. They are: • Rotary (cable wraps around a gear). • Rack & Pinion (cable attached to rack gear moved by a pinion). All mechanical steering systems are for single station use only. Hydraulic steering is the perferred system for dual station boats
requirements. Nautflex Solutions steering cables are designed with a rotary or rack and pinion design to fit various helm space and application requirements. All Nautflex steering cables feature: • A tightly controlled core to conduit fit to offer precise steering. • Outer jacket is constructed with HDPE, a high density polyethylene material that is abrasion resistant and provides a high resistance to water penetration. • All cables feature output ends constructed of stainless steel material for corrosion resistance
