Powerful, low current consumption hydraulic linear drives designed for long passage making. Using Octopus piston pumps that are three times more efficient than a gear pumps and can be expected to halve the battery consumption doubling the effective range of the autopilot on one battery charge. Octopus variable flow rate precisely controls the speed of the ram, reducing battery consumption, pressure, strain and wear on the hydraulic system. Available either with the pump mounted on the cylinder or mounted separately. Octopus linear drives are available with a large range of stroke and pump sizesDrives are suitable for boats up to 80ft (24.4m) - 44,000lbs (20,000kg)Standard drives are available with the pump either mounted on the ram or separately
