The steering gear is an equipment which play a prominent role in the ship handling.
The following four characteristics are especially required of the steering gears. They are "high reliability", "high durability", "high accuracy", and "torque characteristic" in line with actual rudder load. The Electro Hydraulic Steering Gear of Kawasaki with such four characteristics has been delivered to various sized ships all over the world and highly evaluated.
Features
