Hebe: A New Steering Control System

Posted by Irina Tabakina

MacGregor presented a new addition to its Hatlapa product range: the steering control system, Hebe. It is offered as an integrated part of the company’s Hatlapa range of steering gear solutions and its inclusion will deliver operational and equipment compatibility benefits for customers. The name Hebe for the steering control system follows the tradition of naming Hatlapa’s steering gear products after Greek gods and goddesses, Hebe is the goddess of youth.
“Hebe main steering control systems are designed for operation from nominal 24V DC or 110/230/440V AC power supplies and are suitable for virtually all SOLAS vessel types and high speed craft,” said Carsten Pump, Hatlapa steering gear specialist at MacGregor. “They can also offer cost effective control solutions for smaller non-SOLAS units such as workboats and patrol craft.”
The Hatlapa steering gear portfolio comprises four-cylinder ram-type steering gear up to 8,893 kNm, two-cylinder ram-type steering gear up to 950 kNm, rotary vane-type steering gear up to 1,100 kNm, twin-rudder steering gear, compact piston type steering gear and rudder carriers.
