STEERING PARTS AND COMPONENTS

 Handle/Helm is part of the ships steering mechanics that changes the rudder's direction in the
water as the ship goes in another direction. The helm is part of the ships steering mechanics that
changes the rudder's direction in the water as the ship goes in another direction.
 Spoke in a ship's wheel the extension beyond the rim that acts as a handle by which the wheel
is turned.
 Tiller Rope rope leading forward from either end of the tiller to the wheel or other steering
device.

 Platform a raised level surface on which people or things can stand.

 Tiller rope slots the tiller ropes enters slots at the top of the platform, attaches to two sheaves
below deck.

 Pedestal a bridges or another steering stations pedestal or support for a tiny steering wheel.
The gearwheels and top portion of the shafting that convey the motion of the wheel to the
steening engine are located in the stand.

 AXEL/Spindle the axle of a ship's steering wheel will be connected to a spindle, which will then
pass through a barrel.

 Felloe forming a row of handles that extend beyond the rim of the wheel.
A ship's steering system works through the linkage between its three main parts: the telemotor,
control unit, and power unit. The telemotor receives the desired angle order from the wheelhouse
and transmits it to the control unit, which in turn controls the power unit.

1. Control Unit: It conveys the desired rudder angle from

bridge to steering flat.
2. Power Unit: After receiving the signal for a designed
rudder angle from the control unit, it generates force
with immediate effect to move the rudder to a certain
angle.
3. Transmission to the rudder stock: It is the means by
which the movement of the rudder is accomplished.
