Ultraflex Rudder Angle Sensor 10-180 Ohm

The Ultraflex 60701R single rudder angle sensor is a specialized component designed for precise measurement and transmission of information about the current rudder position in watercraft such as motorboats, yachts, or fishing boats. This device is a key element of steering monitoring and control systems, enabling accurate reading of the rudder deflection angle on an indicator mounted on the helmsman's dashboard. The sensor is installed directly on the steering mechanism—usually on the steering arm or near the gearbox—using dedicated brackets and mounting screws, ensuring stability and resistance to vibrations and marine conditions. The sensor operates on the principle of a resistive transducer (potentiometer), whose position change generates an electrical signal proportional to the rudder deflection angle. This allows integration with analog rudder angle indicators or electronic systems, including autopilots. The product features high resistance to moisture, salinity, and temperature variations, making it a reliable solution in demanding operational conditions. The Ultraflex 60701R sensor is used both in new installations and during upgrades of existing steering systems, providing safety and comfort in vessel handling.
