primary load path failure verification and detection devices, clamping, and flight control actuator

摘要

A verification device is provided for a flight 13 actuator primary load path failure detection device of the type that disconnects a position sensor 15 from primary load path 1 in the event of a primary load path failure. The verification device comprises: a mechanical connection 40, 42, 44 for simulating disconnection of the position sensor 15 by allowing relative movement of at least the first and second mechanical parts 32, 34 of the actuator which are unable to move a relative to each other in normal use without failure of the primary loading path 1, wherein these first and second mechanical parts 32, 34 include a first mechanical part 32 with movement detected by the position sensing device 15 position sensor 15. primary load path failure 13.
