Pitch Trim Actuation

The UH-60 utilizes a Moog, Pitch Trim Actuator as part of the overall helicopter flight controls.Ìý A Pilot’s force input at the stickÌýis mechanically transferred to the input linkage of the Pitch TrimÌýActuator. The input linkage is connected to the output linkageÌýthrough the Boost Actuator, which multiplies the pilot’s input force.Ìý Movements at the output linkages are mechanically transferred to the mainÌýrotor of the aircraft. Trim functionality is controlled by the Pilot’s signal input,Ìýwhich will command either the Pitch Trim Actuator to hold a specificÌýposition, therefore trimming the main rotor in the corresponding direction.

Vibration Control Actuation System

The UH-60 utilizes our Vibration Control Actuation System (VCAS).ÌýThis system replaces traditional passive systems by measuring vibration levelsÌýat key locations in the aircraft and applying cancellation forces in an equalÌýand opposite direction. The VCAS system adjusts these forces as the aircraftÌýmaneuvers and as payloads change thereby increasing overall efficiency.ÌýThis also results in reducing airframe fatigue, pilot fatigue and overallÌýmaintenance costs.

Accumulator

Self-Displacing Accumulator

The SDA (self-displacing accumulator) provides hydraulic pressureÌýto the APU (auxiliary power unit) motor used to start the two engines. ItÌýconsists of high-pressure hydraulic fluid and dry nitrogen chambers separatedÌýby a piston, and a low-pressure hydraulic fluid chamber (reservoir) containing aÌýsecond piston connected to the first piston. A mechanical tape attached to theÌýpiston rod indicates high-pressure chamber volume from 0 (discharged) to 100%Ìý(fully charged). After motor start the hydraulic fluid is circulated, or returnedÌýback to the reservoir (self-displacement).Ìý
