Rotary Vane Steering gear
SIT, through its division CS Controls, demonstrates exceptional capabilities in designing and implementing advanced steering systems, notably featuring rotary vane actuators. With extensive experience in serving the marine and defense sectors, CS Controls excels in providing tailored solutions to complex challenges. For a client needing a versatile vessel capable of refueling underway ships, CS Controls delivered a comprehensive steering gear system. This system included rotary vane actuators, hydraulic power units, storage tanks, and essential controls such as follow-up steering control, autopilot, and rudder angle indicators.
This project also addressed the need for retrofitting an aging fleet with modern, high-speed steering units, underscoring SIT's capacity to handle demanding specifications and integrate next-generation technology into existing platforms. Through rigorous design verification and integration across various systems, SIT ensured that the performance of these vessels met or exceeded expectations. By starting from first principles in design, SIT not only fulfilled stringent requirements but also guaranteed significant maintenance savings, projecting a vessel lifespan extension of at least 40 years. This ongoing commitment sees SIT delivering a new, customized system approximately every four weeks, continually adapting to emerging client needs and technological advancements.
Tiller Design Steering Gear
SIT stands out in the design and manufacturing of advanced electrohydraulic steering systems, particularly excelling in tiller steering designs for military and marine vessels. These systems, integral to the maneuverability and control of a range of vessels, combine robust mechanical components with sophisticated electronic control mechanisms. Tiller steering systems, in particular, are renowned for their direct connection to the rudder, offering precise control and immediate responsiveness, which is crucial in high-pressure maritime and military environments.
The electrohydraulic technology that powers these systems marries the robustness of hydraulic actuators with the precision of electronic feedback controls, enhancing overall system reliability and efficiency. This integration allows for smoother operation and better handling characteristics, critical for vessels that require quick directional changes and stable navigation. SIT's commitment to technological innovation and quality manufacturing ensures that each tiller steering system meets stringent industry standards and client specifications, providing a dependable solution for demanding naval applications.
