When the desired rudder angle is attained by a typical double ram electro-hydraulic steering gear, the __________.

Question 1 of 27070

When the desired rudder angle is attained by a typical double ram electro-hydraulic steering gear, the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• electro-hydraulic steering gear basic operation (pump, rams, control system) • how a follow-up system keeps the rudder at the ordered angle • what actually stops oil flow and ram movement once the commanded angle is reached

💭 Think About

• Think about which component’s job is to compare the ordered rudder angle with the actual rudder angle. • Ask yourself: in normal operation, does stopping at the ordered angle usually involve dumping pressure, shutting off motors, or changing the pump output stroke? • Which option sounds like a control action (fine adjustment) versus a safety/protective action (overpressure protection)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice refers to an automatic control element (part of normal follow-up control). • Distinguish between relief valves (protective, overpressure) and normal stopping of movement at the set angle. • Consider that main electric motors on steering pumps are usually kept ready to respond, not constantly started/stopped for each small rudder movement.
