Q

The function of the hydraulic telemotor transmitter used in an electro-hydraulic steering gear system is to __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Electro-hydraulic steering gear signal path: from bridge wheel → transmitter → receiver → rudder • Difference between mechanical position indication and hydraulic control signal • What a telemotor actually does in a steering system

💭 Think About

• Trace what happens when the helmsman turns the wheel: what component changes first, and what has to be sent to the steering flat? • Which device’s job is to move fluid under pressure toward the steering gear, and which device’s job is only to SEND a control signal? • Look at each choice and ask: is this describing a control/command function, or an indication/protection/maintenance function?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which part of the system provides rudder angle INDICATION versus rudder ORDER transmission. • Check whether a telemotor’s role is to protect from overtravel or simply to transmit steering commands. • Confirm that a transmitter in a hydraulic telemotor deals with control fluid movement/signals, not with automatic air removal.
