Description and Features
The rudder head is a fundamental component of the steering system, providing secure attachment and smooth operation of the lifting and lowering mechanism for the rudder blade. Made from high-strength, corrosion-resistant composite materials, it is known for its durability and resistance to water, salt, and dynamic loads. The head is designed for a 28mm diameter rudder shaft.
Design Features:
Quick Rudder Attachment:
The internal reinforcing ribs of the housing form a conical shape, allowing the rudder to be securely fixed in place. To install, simply insert the rudder into the housing, and to remove, rotate it around its axis and carefully pull it out. This mechanism is especially useful for frequent mounting and dismounting of the rudder.
Integrated Cam Mechanism:
The housing is equipped with an integrated cam mechanism that connects to the rudder blade. This provides precise control and ensures the blade remains securely fixed in the desired position.
Durable Mounting for Long-Term Use:
For situations where long-term attachment is required, additional mounting options are available. The user can choose the most suitable method from the provided options (see attached photos).
Advantages:
- Convenience: Easy installation and removal of the rudder.
- Flexibility: Option for both temporary and permanent fixation.
- Reliability: The design is built to withstand demanding operational conditions, ensuring stable performance of the steering system.
The rudder head is ideal for catamarans, dinghies, and other vessels where frequent adjustments and high reliability in the steering system are essential.
