Question 1 of 27070

When there is no movement of the rams of an electro-hydraulic steering gear system, the tilting box of the axial piston hydraulic pump is __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Axial piston variable-displacement pump operation in electro‑hydraulic steering gear • Relationship between swash plate / tilting box angle and oil flow to the rams • What happens in the hydraulic circuit when no movement of the rudder rams is required

💭 Think About

• If the rams are not moving, what must be happening to the flow rate from the pump to the actuator cylinders? Increasing, decreasing, or essentially zero? • How does changing the tilting box (swash plate) angle change pump displacement and therefore the direction and amount of flow? • Would the steering gear still develop high torque or move oil through the cylinders if the rudder is not being ordered to move?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check how a variable‑displacement axial piston pump behaves when the swash plate is at zero angle versus a positive or negative angle. • Verify whether a recirculation mode would still involve oil flow and heat generation, even if the rams don’t move. • Confirm which tilting box condition corresponds to no effective flow and no ram motion in the steering system.
