KUS Sensor for Rudder Position Indication, 87–900 Ohms – Precise Position Measurement for Hydraulic Steering Systems

Gain absolute control during every harbor maneuver and make precise course corrections on the open sea! The original KUS rudder position sensor (87–900 ohm characteristic curve) was developed specifically for boats and yachts with hydraulic steering systems. Unlike traditional linkage transducers mounted on the rudder, this sensor is directly coupled to the movement of the hydraulic cylinder. It converts the mechanical steering angle into a highly precise analog resistance signal ranging from 87 ohms to 900 ohms.

As a result, the sensor delivers an absolutely error-free, vibration-free signal to your helm station, allowing you to read the exact position of your propeller or rudder blade in the cockpit at any time with millimeter precision.

⚠️ Important Note on Ohm Compatibility & Display:

This special sensor operates exclusively within the resistance range of 87–900 ohms.

Please note that standard European rudder angle indicators (0–190 ohms) are not compatible with this sensor. To ensure error-free operation, order the matching 52mm version directly with:

Combine this sensor directly with our special KUS Small 52mm Rudder Angle Indicator (87–900 ohms) from our store.

Advantages & Technical Highlights at a Glance:

Specialized for hydraulic cylinders: Enables direct, backlash-free measurement of the rudder position right at the steering component—ideal for outboard motors and Z-drives with hydraulic assistance.
Wear-free reed technology: No exposed sliding contacts that can corrode or become inaccurate in a marine environment. The internal magnetic system guarantees decades of maintenance-free operation.
Premium stainless steel construction (AISI 316): The housing and mechanical components are made entirely of saltwater-, acid-, and oil-resistant V4A stainless steel.
Full IP67 protection: The sensor and cable outlet are completely sealed against dust and water. It easily withstands constant splash water at the stern or in the damp bilge.
Universal 12V / 24V operation: Suitable for all standard marine electrical systems when used with the appropriate KUS display instrument.

🛠️ Accessory tip from Tenten-Boats:

Are you planning to retrofit a convenient hydraulic steering system? This sensor can be mechanically adapted perfectly to our high-performance Hydrodrive hydraulic steering systems and provides the perfect visual feedback on your system right in the cockpit.
