TELEMOTOR SYSTEM
Telemotor system :
1)Transmits a mechanical order ie
turning of the steering wheel on the
bridge
2)To a distant system know as the
actuating system, in the steering
compartment
3)The actuating system would turn the
rudder to the ordered or corresponding
angle.

This lever mechanism acts to start & stop the pumping action as
required.
Consider R is connected to the telemotor receiver; P connected to pump
actuating rod ; T connected to tiller arm (feedback link).
1) Neutral position ; O degree at the helm.
2) (a) Turning steering wheel to port, example 5 degrees portside.
(b) Lever moves to the left. R R’ ; P P’ pivoted about T.
(c) Pump starts to pump to starboard cylinder taking suction from
portside.

3) (a) Ram moves towards the left , turning the rudder stock in clockwise direction.
(b) Rudder reaches 5 degree port.
(c) Feedback link is pushed back to the right. T T’ ; P’ P pivoted about R’.
(d) Pumping action stops.
(e) Rudder stays at 5 degree port position.
4) (a) Steering wheel brought back to midship. Telemotor receiver will push the
lever towards the right. R’ R; P P” pivoted about T’.
(b) Pump starts to pump to port side cylinder taking suction from starboard side.
(c) Ram moves towards the right , turning the rudder stock in anti-clockwise
direction.
