Abstract:

The development of a high force linear motor suitable for directly actuating an aircraft hydraulic power control valve used on a flight control system actuator is described. A breadboard unit was fabricated and tested and met the 80 lb. midpoint force requirement with an input of 4.4 amperes 1.1 ampscoil. A modified F-4 aileron actuator incorporating the force motor and position LVDTs met the frequency response requirements. Three sets of brassboard equipment each consisting of a modified F-4 aileron actuator incorporating a new force motor and position LVDTs and an electronic control box were designed, fabricated and tested. One set was subjected to and satisfactorily completed flightworthiness tests. The remaining are available for flight testing.
