🔍 Key Concepts

• Think about what kind of system is most commonly used to move very large, heavy machinery smoothly and with fine control on ships. • Consider how traditional rudders and controllable-pitch propellers are turned or actuated on large vessels. • Azipods must be able to rotate continuously (often 360°) under heavy load—what actuator type is usually chosen for that job?

💭 Think About

• Which type of steering/actuation system is known for providing very high torque and smooth, precise movement for heavy marine equipment? • On large ships, which system is most commonly used for main steering gear: pneumatic, electro‑mechanical, hydraulic, or something else? • Which option sounds more like a power transmission description rather than a specific steering/actuation method?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options represent realistic steering/actuation methods commonly used in shipboard steering gear. • Consider which system can reliably provide continuous rotation under high load with fine position control. • Eliminate any choice that sounds more like a general power transmission term than a steering actuator type.
