Скачать или смотреть Ever Wondered How Big Ships Steer Steering Gear Room Tour

Step inside the "Steering Flat" of a massive vessel to see the raw power of maritime engineering! In this video, we witness the operation of a 4-cylinder electro-hydraulic ram-type steering gear as it moves the ship's rudder.

Precision Power: Watch as the hydraulic rams push and pull with immense pressure to overcome the force of the ocean against the rudder.

Engineering Excellence: You can see the relief valves, hunting gear, and the massive tiller arm in full motion.

The Sound of Scale: The rhythmic hiss of the hydraulics and the mechanical movement are a treat for any tech lover.

The steering gear is one of the most critical systems on a ship. It converts the electrical signals from the bridge into high-pressure hydraulic force, allowing a single person on the bridge to move a rudder weighing several tonnes.
