Q

On an electro-hydraulic steering gear, which of the listed devices will keep the rudder from over traveling the bridge signal?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Electro-hydraulic steering gear control chain from wheel order to rudder movement • Difference between indicating devices and controlling/follow-up devices • How the system prevents the rudder from moving beyond the ordered angle

💭 Think About

• Which device directly compares the bridge order with the actual rudder position and stops movement when they match? • Which option is only telling you where the rudder is, versus actually influencing when the hydraulic movement stops? • In a follow-up steering system, what part of the system causes the pump or control valve to return to neutral when the ordered angle is reached?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is purely an indicator (no control action). • Identify which choice is part of the automatic follow-up control loop between wheel and rudder. • Ask yourself: which component is specifically designed to stop further rudder travel once the ordered angle is reached?
