STEERING ACTUATOR FOR A STEER-BY-WIRE SHIP'S CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAID STEERING ACTUATOR

摘要

The invention relates to a steering actuator (1) for a ship's control system, designed as a linear electromechanical actuator and comprising an electric motor (2), a controller (11) that is connected to the electronic control unit of the ship's control system (ECU) via a CAN bus and an angle sensor (12) that is connected to the controller (11) for determining the angular position of the rudder (13). The electric motor (2) is designed as a vector-controlled brushless motor.
