–combined with the latest technology
Scan-Steering has continously been working on improvement in quality and performance of all parts of the steering
systems produced by the company.
The latest improvement has been made in the sealing components of the steering gears. The U-gaskets and scrap-
er rings that were used before, have been replaced by the newest technology in teflon gaskets.
This gives a lot of benefits such as great reduction in the normal wear on piston rods, reduced risk of leaks, very
long life-time of the gaskets, which means that no maintenance is required.
With this latest improvement the steering gear will work for a long period of time, whithout requiring repairs or major
overhaul, as long as the required lubrication is made according to manufacturer´s instructions.
Scan-Steering has a very flexible production line, and can make steering gears and systems according to require-
ments. Including high shock resistant anti-magnetic steering rear made in salt water resistant stainless steel and
special construction for navy boats.
Scan-Steering is capable of delivering steering gears with capacity up to 1.000 KNm for single or twin rudder ves-
sels. For twin rudder vessels there are possibilities of mechanical synchronization by means of a connecting rod or
electronic syncronizaition of rudders, where connection rod is not possible to use, such as catamarans etc. in which
case the company´s unique double electronic rudder control system is used.
The electronic rudder control is extremely accurate, thanks to the electronic rudder angle transmitter, which has
now been proven unsurpassed for nearly 10 years. The transmitter operates without potentiometer which means
that there is no mechanical wear and in many cases the rudder transmitter(s) will last for the lifetime of the vessel.
All Scan-Steering´s steering systems are made to meet the requirements of the various classification authorities,
this means that all steering gears etc. are made from approved materials and are constructed, assembled, and
tested in accordance with the rule and regulations of all major classification authorities. Consequently all systems
can be delivered with certificate according to customer´s requirement.

Gyro Compass

Gyrocompass Mini Course

New gyrocompass “MINI course” is one of the most miniature mechanical gyrocompasses in the world.
It is designed to meet the requirements of modern marine industry in wide range of applications due to
its high accuracy, short settling time, small size and other attractive features. The gyrocompass is based
on the dynamically tuned gyroscope; this accurate sensor provides follow-up speed up to 200°/s.
Gyrocompass provides the following data:
• Heading relative to geographical meridian at the vessel’s speed up to 70 knots,
latitude up to 80 degrees (up to 90 degrees in Direction Gyro mode),
roll and pitch angles up to 45 degrees;
• Rate of turn;
• Operation mode data and failure alarm.
Gyrocompass complies with requirements of IMO А.424(XI) and А.821(19), IEC 945-96, ISO 8728-94
and is type approved by Germanischer Lloyd (can be class approved by any class society)
