The core business of Kwant Controls is the design and manufacturing of various types of control units for the electrical remote control of practically all kinds of propulsion and steering devices, such as: traditional main engine/clutch/CPP-FPP shaft lines, tunnel thrusters, azimuthal thrusters, rudders and water jets.

Specs

The steering wheels are equipped with an adjustable friction device that keeps the wheel in position when released, and acts as a steering damper when moved by hand. Optionally, they can be spring loaded for auto return to midship position. The default electrical signal transmitter is a 2KOhm potentiometer that returns 10-90% of its supply voltage. The IP rating is IP56. A LED illuminated dial is included. Also available in a miniaturized execution, also known as the PMA-96.

IP level: IP40 / IP56 (without buttons or with watertight buttons)

Available output signals

  • 2KOhm;
  • 5KOhm;
  • 4-20mA;
  • Integrated CAN;

Options

  • Spring loaded i.e. the steering wheel will be forced to midship position when released, by means of a special coiled spring;
  • Electric shaft stepper servo motor for automatic line up with remote stations or autopilot system;
  • 4-20mA outputs;
  • Directional contacts or pushbutton switches for NFU (Non Follow Up) steering.
  • An alternative for the wooden wheel models is the steering hub, a very rugged device that will accept commercially available steering wheels from third party suppliers.

Steering wheels are type-approved by ABS, BV, CCS, DNV-GL, LRS, NKK , RINA and RMRS.
