1
Q

(COL) What is a planetary gear train?

A

Consists of a central gear (sun gear), intermediate pinons (planetary gears), and a coaxial ring gear. The pinon gears rotate about the sun gear.

Study These Flashcards
A

Three stage
292 rpm main rotor (701C)
4863 rpm tail rotor

25
XMSN emergency features?
Silver plated steel bearing racers Felt wicking disks in drive shafts Twice the normal backlash Can operate with one of two oil systems inop (check valves and float diverter)
26
XMSN major components?
Housing 2 input clutch assemblies Primary gear train Secondary gear train
27
XSM housing description?
lightweight magnesium alloy Four piece assembly Cover (curvic coupling - torsional loads) Intermediate gear support housing (oil galleries) Lower housing assembly ( oil sumps, galleries, support of input clutch assemblies, and accessory mounting) Accessory cover (internal oil jets)
28
Input clutch assembly description?
``` Contains overrunning (Sprag) clutches 2 hours permissible with no impairment Does not affect 30 min emergency window ```
29
Describe the 3 stages XMSN gear reduction
Input pinion gear to cluster gear 9939 to 4546 Cluster gear to intermediate helical gear 4546 to 1160 Intermediate helical gear to planetary gear 1160 to 292 Cluster gear to tail rotor drive gear 4863 (LH cluster)
30
What gear drives the XMSN oil pumps?
Lower splined portion of cluster gears
31
What type of damper rings are installed on the XMSN and where are they located?
Spirolox damper rings are installed on the cluster gears and intermediate helical gear.
32
Which intermediate cluster gear is primary? How many teeth?
No. 2 is primary with 85 teeth (84 on No.1)
33
How is the APU able to run accessory components without driving the rotor?
Overrunning clutches are installed on each intermediate cluster gear ( and tail rotor drive gear?)
34
What are the two types of rotor brake assemblies? Are they interchangeable?
Parker Hanifin and Goodyear. No
35
Magnetic pickup caution?
Do not rotate pickup during removal or installation, doing so damages the alignment pin and mag pickup.
36
Describe magnetic pickup
Provides RPM signal to ENG page and MSPU. MSPU monitoring mode is group 1 components only, triggered at 90% RPM, sensed by MSPU through TACH 3. Housed on same axis as secondary clutch - allows no Nr reading on APU.
37
What prevents collateral damage in the event of a generator seizure?
Nylon spline adapters
38
How are generators sealed?
Plain encased seal in housing and cork stopper in driveshaft.
39

12 micron Bypass indication at 23+/-2 psid (thermo lockout below 29.5 C oil temp) deactivated 46-67 C Bypass value opens 38+-4 psid
42
XMSN pressure switch parameters?
Signal SP at 28+/-2 psi decreasing, removed at 45+/-2 psi increasing.
43
XMSN temperature switch parameters?
Provide signal to SP when reaches 140+/-12 C removed when drops to 123+/-12 C
44
XMSN normal operating pressure?
60-85 psi
