The Vetus VDACT actuator unit (article: VDACT) is an essential component of the V-DOCKER maneuvering system, responsible for converting joystick and CAN-bus commands into coordinated control of the propulsion engine and thrusters. Designed for vessels with a single mechanically controlled engine and bow/stern thrusters, it enables smooth sail-by-wire operation, multiple helm stations, and retrofit installation without major modifications to existing equipment.

Vetus VDACT Actuator Unit for V-DOCKER Engine and Thruster Control Integration
The Vetus VDACT actuator provides the physical control interface between the V-DOCKER joystick system and the vessel’s propulsion and thruster equipment. It processes input from the V-CAN network and converts it into direct mechanical or electrical commands for engine throttle and thruster operation. This enables highly accurate docking control, eliminating drifting and allowing operators to maneuver confidently in tight spaces.
Key Features
- Dedicated actuator for V-DOCKER maneuvering systems
- Coordinates propulsion engine and thruster output for precise boat handling
- Supports sail-by-wire replacement of mechanical throttle control
- Enables multiple helm stations via V-CAN networking
- Suitable for retrofit without replacing the existing engine or thrusters
- Ensures smooth and reliable control during docking maneuvers
Application
System Compatibility Vetus V-DOCKER Purpose Actuator interface for engine and thrusters Engine Type Single mechanically controlled engine Thruster Configuration Bow and stern thrusters Installation Type New build or retrofit Control Network V-CAN bus
The VDACT actuator is a core element of the V-DOCKER system, enabling seamless and responsive maneuvering performance through integrated engine and thruster control.
