Conning Tower Mechanism for model submarine type 212 (v2014) 247,00 €

Thu, 28 Mar 2024 11:47:31 +0100

This mechanism drives periscopes, radar, snorkel and antennas in- and outwards of the conning tower.

New version with cylinder made of stainless steel.

When the model submerges, i. e. Piston Tank is filling, the pressure within the model increases. At about 80% filling volume the pressure within the boat activates piston movement in a cylinder built into the mechanism. This movement moves a slide into the conning tower on which the devices are mounted.

As soon as the submarine reemerges to the water surface the pressure within the model decreases (as the Piston Tank empties), whereby periscopes, radar, snorkel and antennas retract.

The mechanism also serves as safety indicator. Should the model suffer a leakage during its dive, the over-pressure within the boat will decrease forcing the conning tower mechanism to extract. A clear indication to bring the model back safe to shore and check for a possible leakage.

Fully-built and painted unit.

PLEASE NOTE: This mechanism is suitable for NEW VERSION of 212, only (purchase date Nov. 2014 and after).

Static Diving Model Submarine with Piston Tank

Type 212 of the German Navy is today’s most modern submarine.
This is its counterpart in 1/70 scale.

Result: a handy sized model submarine equipped with a sensor controlled Piston Tank – performs and dives just as in full size.

This model submarine developed by ENGEL offers besides radial parting with bayonet lock ring and Tech Rack© very compact dimensions and easy handling. Hull, sail and all other attaching parts are highly detailed. The Tech Rack© slides into the front part of the hull offering easy access to most of the boat’s internal components.

Building is straight forward and quite simple as all parts are prefabricated is highly detailed and sturdy.
The hull is made of super strong ABS with a thicknes of more than 3 mm and ready-assembled with bayonet lock ring and aft bulk head.
Control planes and ridges are cast in resin.

The Tech Rack© is constructed of sturdy CNC-machined, interlocking parts, reinforced with ready-made brass bars. Piston Tank included features AutoStop, meaning that the piston drive will automatically stop at an instant as soon as the tank is completely filled or emptied. Piston Tank and electronic switch unit CTS2 are both fully built forming a compact unit without extensive and frail wiring.

As all ENGEL sub models the 212 also comes with a full safety package including

• loss of transmitter signal
• loss of receiver signal
• low battery monitor
• pressure switch
