Seals and Wipers for Mechanical and Electromechanical Actuators
AIR7379
The purpose of this AIR is to provide a comprehensive description document that displays various examples of low pressure seals and wipers utilized within mechanical and electromechanical actuators. The document is intended as an overview for those specifying or designing actuators in order to compare existing solutions as reference for implementation.
Rationale: As aerospace applications with mechanical and electromechanical actuators increase and their use includes the demanding requirements and duty cycles of utility and flight controls, a need is seen to create an information guide with which to describe seals and wipers, and the various types that are utilized. This document will meet that need.
