Q

The follow-up gear on an electro-hydraulic steering gear __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Electro-hydraulic steering gear basic components and how power is transmitted from the wheel to the rudder • What the term follow-up (follow-up control) means in steering systems • Difference between pressure protection, pump control, and position control/feedback in steering gears

💭 Think About

• When you turn the wheel to a certain angle and hold it there, what should the rudder do, and how does the system know when to stop moving it? • Which option describes a function that keeps the rudder aligned with the ordered wheel position, rather than protecting against pressure or automatically centering the rudder? • Think about the word "follow-up": what is following what in this system—pressure, stroke, or position?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice deals with position feedback (matching positions), not pressure relief or automatic centering. • Ask: Does electro-hydraulic steering normally return the rudder to midships when you let go of the wheel, or does it hold the ordered angle? That helps eliminate at least one option. • Verify which option best fits the idea that the rudder movement stops when the commanded position has been reached and is kept in agreement with that command.
