Bennett A-1115 Actuator Lower Hinge Pin for Trim Tab Actuators

The Bennett A-1115 Actuator Lower Hinge Pin is a replacement lower hinge pin for Bennett trim tab actuators. Bennett actuators are built as strong but flexible nylon/fiberglass hydraulic cylinders, and their piston-like arms push the trim tabs into position as hydraulic pressure is applied. A key design feature of the Bennett actuator is that fluid flows through a concealed hole in the upper hinge at the top of the actuator, which eliminates the need for external hoses that would otherwise be subject to damage. The lower hinge pin is the pivot point at the base of the actuator assembly, allowing the actuator to move as the trim tab is raised and lowered.

Bennett offers its actuators in a few configurations to suit different installation needs: the A1101A is the standard actuator, the A1101EX is built with an external line connection for situations where the interior of the transom is totally inaccessible, and the A1200S is designed for installations where space is limited. The A-1115 lower hinge pin is a maintenance and repair part for keeping an existing Bennett actuator in working order without replacing the entire assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Bennett A-1115 Actuator Lower Hinge Pin used for? The Bennett A-1115 is a lower hinge pin used to service and repair Bennett trim tab actuators, providing the pivot point at the base of the actuator assembly.

Is the A-1115 a complete actuator or a repair part? It is a repair part, not a complete actuator. The Bennett A-1115 replaces just the lower hinge pin on an existing Bennett actuator.

Why do Bennett actuators route fluid through the upper hinge instead of external hoses? Bennett actuators are designed with a concealed fluid passage through the upper hinge at the top of the actuator, which eliminates external hoses that would otherwise be exposed to damage. The A-1115 lower hinge pin services the opposite end of this same actuator design.

What materials are Bennett actuators made from? Bennett actuators, which the A-1115 lower hinge pin services, are built as strong but flexible nylon/fiberglass hydraulic cylinders with piston-like arms that push the trim tabs into position.

What is the difference between the A1101A, A1101EX, and A1200S Bennett actuators? The A1101A is Bennett's standard actuator, the A1101EX uses an external line connection for cases where the inside of the transom is totally inaccessible, and the A1200S is designed for installations where space is limited. The A-1115 lower hinge pin is a service part for the Bennett actuator line.

How much does the Bennett A-1115 Actuator Lower Hinge Pin weigh? The Bennett A-1115 Actuator Lower Hinge Pin weighs 1 pound.

Does replacing the lower hinge pin require removing the whole actuator? The A-1115 is intended to service the lower hinge of an existing Bennett actuator; review your current trim tab actuator setup and replacement needs before ordering to confirm the correct repair approach.

What is the product UPC for the Bennett A-1115 hinge pin? The Bennett A-1115 Actuator Lower Hinge Pin carries UPC 666285315804.

Will the A-1115 fit any Bennett actuator model? The A-1115 is designed as a lower hinge pin for Bennett trim tab actuators; check your existing actuator model, such as the A1101A, A1101EX, or A1200S, before ordering to confirm compatibility.

What function does the lower hinge pin serve on a Bennett actuator? The lower hinge pin, such as the Bennett A-1115, forms the pivot connection at the base of the actuator, allowing the piston-like arm to move as it pushes the trim tab into position.
