B&G Suspension RAM-T1-12V Hydraulic Autopilot Ram 12V Type 1 for Boats 7-10 Tons

The B&G RAM-T1-12V is a self-contained hydraulic linear actuator designed for marine autopilot systems on vessels from 7 to 10 tons (11 to 16 meters) with mechanical primary steering. This Type 1 hydraulic ram combines a cylinder, pump, motor, clutch, and reservoir in a single pre-filled, sealed unit—eliminating the need for external hoses, reservoirs, or complicated hydraulic installations.

Key Features:

• High-efficiency 12V DC drive unit delivering maximum power with minimum consumption (2-4A average, 22.5A peak)
• 9.84-inch (250mm) stroke with 1,543 lb (700kg) thrust capability
• Integrated Power Steer mode allows autopilot operation in case of manual steering failure
• Disengaging clutch allows free movement with primary steering when autopilot is off
• Internal relief valves protect against rudder strikes and grounding damage
• 8.39-inch (213mm) tiller arm coupling radius for versatile mounting
• Aluminum construction with 28-inch overall length
• 13-second hard-over time for responsive steering

Compatible with B&G and Simrad autopilot computers including the NAC-3 and H5000 systems. Designed for yachts with cable or rod steering systems that can be back-driven. The integrated hydraulic system provides reliable, efficient autopilot performance for coastal and offshore cruising.
