Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4112441A1] A steering system (1) installed in a ship includes: a hydraulic actuator (2) that turns a rudder plate (11) via a rudder stock (12) that penetrates a ship bottom; and a pump (41) that delivers hydraulic oil. A first actuating chamber (22) and a second actuating chamber (23) of the hydraulic actuator are connected to a switching valve (3) by a pair of supply/discharge lines (44, 45). The switching valve (3) is connected to the pump (41) by a pump line (42). The switching valve (3) includes a spool (31). The spool (31) is shifted by a shifting mechanism (5). The shifting mechanism (5) is configured such that a shifting speed of the spool (31) is electrically changeable.
