Vetus DS Dual Station Gearbox Control Unit
The Vetus DS dual station gearbox unit is engineered to combine the mechanical action of two single-lever control stations and deliver a single, synchronized output to the engine gearbox lever. It enables reliable gearshift control from two locations on vessels equipped with a single engine, forming an essential part of a complete dual-station mechanical control system. For full functionality, the DS unit is paired with the Vetus DSKITF dual station throttle unit.
Main Features
- Provides gearbox actuation from two independent control stations
- Combines the movement of two single-lever controls into one gearbox output
- Required per engine for dual-station gearbox control
- Designed for installation in the engine compartment
- Forms a complete system when used with the DSKITF throttle dual-station unit
Technical Overview
Parameter Details Application Dual-station gearbox control Function Combines two command stations into a single gearbox output Accessory System Around the Engine Compatible Units Works with DSKITF (throttle dual-station unit) Control Type Mechanical linkage
System Requirements
- One DS gearbox dual-station unit is required per engine
- One DSKITF throttle dual-station unit must also be installed for a complete dual-control system
- Each unit handles one function: gearbox (DS) and throttle (DSKITF)
Application
The Vetus DS unit is designed for vessels with two helm stations requiring synchronized gearbox control. It ensures smooth, reliable mechanical actuation of the gearbox lever from either station, providing consistent operation in dual-station marine control systems. When combined with the DSKITF throttle unit, it forms a full dual-station solution for single-engine installations.
