Servo assisted engine control device, especially for boats, includes electric servo motor activated by control unit linked to electronic sensor for tube joined to push=pull cable housing

摘要

An electric motor (13) is used as the servo motor, and the push-pull cable housing (8) contains an electric position sensor (21) linked to an electronic control unit. The sensor sends a signal to the control unit when a tube (7) joined to the cable housing is moved from the neutral position as a result of forces acting upon the housing due to the control cable (5) being moved by a control rod (9) in the opposite direction to the tube. The control unit then activates the servo motor in order to move the motor control rod (19).
