Rudder system include rudder stock, rudder pintle, rudder blade, stern shaft, propeller shaft, intermediate shaft etc. It is a very important part of steering system because it makes sure the vessel change direction. Marine forged rudder stocks are made from high-strength materials such as steel, and are typically manufactured using a forging process, which involves heating the metal and shaping it using pressure or impact. This process results in a strong, durable, and reliable rudder stock that can withstand the stresses and forces associated with steering a vessel. The rudder stock is also named the rudder shaft, which connects the steering gear with the rudder blade; the rudder stock transmits the steering gear’s turning force to the rudder blade to steer the ship. Usually, the rudder stock is made of forged steel. The rudder stock connects to the rudder blade by hydraulic cone fit or flange coupling; and connects to the tiller by hydraulic cone fit, a key connection, or by clamping rings for smaller rudders. Stainless steel sleeves are fitted in the way of bearings to protect the stock from getting damaged.
