Termine o frase Italiano: asservimento sulla macchina del timone
From a letter talking about problems with a ship:

"... era incattivato un braccetto meccanico dell'asservimento sulla macchina del timone."

I have looked up individual terms but not sure if what i have written makes sense when I put them together:

"a mechanical arm of the interlocking on the steering gear had gone wrong"

does this make sense? "mechanical arm OF the INTERLOCKING ON the steering gear"??

Thanks!

Spiegazione:
Asservimento here refers to the servomechanism on the power steering or "steering engine" of a ship.

Steam steering engines had the characteristics of a modern servomechanism: an input, an output, an error signal, and a means for amplifying the error signal used for negative feedback to drive the error towards zero.

Spiegazione:
No the English version you have proposed does not make much sense:
My version,
"A mechanical arm on the rudder mechanism linkage jammed" or broke or froze or malfunctioned - incattivare - means "gone bad"
