tugs – steering gears
Steering gears consist not only of the gears themselves, but also of the hydraulic power unit, and a control system, which is quite complex. If the steering gear is not working, you will lose control of the tug. Therefore, it is critical to keep a high reliability of steering gears.
Challenge
If oil in the steering gear lubrication and hydraulic systems is not kept free from particles, oxidation residues and water, then the steering gear operation may fail. The reason is gradually increasing wear, caused by particles and oxidation residues that are not removed. Repairing or servicing a steering gear is very costly.
Benefits, installing CJC® Oil Filters
- Protect your investment and avoid loss of charter
- Optimise efficiency and operation of the tug
- Reduce risk of steering gear repairs
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Increase the lifetime of system oil
When you install a CJC® Oil Filter solution on your steering gear, you ensure operability of the steering gear and thereby operation of your tug. You get an oil filter with excellent dirt, oxidation and water removal capacities, and the highest dirt holding capacity. This gives you cost savings and better reliability of the steering gear.
Technically, CJC® is known for keeping oil clean and without oxidation residues, which is documented over many years and in several tug steering gear installations.
CJC® Oil Filter solutions are installed with many shipowners worldwide. When you choose CJC® Oil Filters, you ensure a long lifetime of the steering gear, reduce maintenance and you avoid unplanned off-hire. You can even monitor the condition of your system using the Oil Contamination Monitor.
