Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the reliable operation of heavy-duty steering gears, such as the MHI Steering Gear from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. This robust Ram Type Steering Gear has been in service since 1970 and is available in four variants: MHI Ram-200, MHI Ram-500, MHI Ram-2000, and MHI Ram-5000. The power range spans from 30 to 250 kW, making it suitable for a variety of vessel sizes. The electric-hydraulic drive system is designed with a dual hydraulic power unit (HPU) and a Rapson slide, enhancing its durability and performance. Common issues like ram seal leakage, tiller arm bushing wear, Rapson slide block deterioration, and HPU relief valve malfunction can be addressed through standard maintenance procedures. Spare parts for the MHI Steering Gear are available from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan, with a lead time of 3-6 weeks for delivery within Asia. Regular service and timely replacement of worn components will help maintain the optimal performance and longevity of your MHI Steering Gear.
