The synchronization valve 1/2” is used for systems on which the two rudders cannot be connected by a mechanical tie bar (for example on catamarans).
This valve is capable of resetting the synchronization of the rudders by making the synchronization manoeuvre thus bringing the hydraulic cylinders to the end of the stroke without having an operator in the steering room to open and close the ball valve so the synchronization can be made directly from the control station.
The valve can be used for all types of systems: manual, electrohydraulic, servo assisted and electronic.
