Linear actuator for outboard
#10
Re: Speed of the actuator, I use a 70mm/s actuator, it was actually too fast for my setup, as I am mirroring the movement of my main engine. Basically, the autopilot moves the main engine to steer with a electric hydraulic pump, and the actuator moves the auxiliary engine at the same (close to the same) time. I had to slow the speed down using software, otherwise the Auxiliary engine would always try to beat the main engine to the new position. I figure I am using about 1/3 of the speed. Having a little extra is not bad though, so I would recommend 70mm/s, and you can always slow it down in the settings if you have to.
