Testing of a Pneumatic Servomechanism.

Abstract

A unique low pressure pneumatic, high torque rotary actuation technique applicable to aircraft primary or standby flight control is described. This drive, the Bendix Dynavector actuator, incorporates an integrated captive vane orbital pneumatic motor with a high ratio epicyclic transmission. The demonstration of this rotary actuator technology has been accomplished by the design, fabrication and testing of two 10,000 lb-in torque capacity drives designated models PH-391-U1 and U2.
