Accurate Rudder Position Monitoring for Marine Steering Systems

Precise rudder angle feedback is essential for safe vessel handling and steering system monitoring. Using a lever arm mechanism and resistive output, this rudder angle sender converts rudder movement into a signal suitable for connection to a compatible rudder angle gauge. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials and featuring an isolated earth return, it is designed for reliable operation in marine environments while supporting accurate indication of rudder position.

Key Features

• 40° Port to 40° Starboard Measurement Range – Provides accurate rudder position feedback across a total operating range of 40°–0°–40°.
• 0–190 Ohm Resistive Output – Compatible with matching rudder angle indicators using a standard 0–190 Ohm signal.
• Lever Arm Design – Utilises a mechanical lever arm arrangement to accurately track rudder movement and position changes.
• Ungrounded Configuration – Features an isolated earth return to enhance electrical safety and system compatibility.
• Marine-Grade Construction – Manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials to withstand long-term exposure to marine conditions.
• Suitable for Single Gauge Installations – Designed for connection to a standard 52mm rudder angle gauge system.
• Reliable Position Feedback – Delivers consistent signal output for accurate rudder angle indication and steering system monitoring.
• Stern Rudder Installation – Commonly mounted to the rudder horn to provide direct measurement of rudder position.

Reliable rudder position feedback assists with vessel manoeuvrability and steering awareness. Suitable for a wide range of marine steering and navigation applications.
