Off-Axis Load Abort Manifold

Aerospace structural test articles are often very expensive and precious items, especially for large-scale products. Any damage during the test can potentially cause significant loss and financial costs. Moog's Hydraulic Off-Axis Load Abort Manifold ensures adequate testing protection for test engineers.

Overview

Effective System Protection in a Reliable and Cost-Effective System

Test abortion control has been the key technique adopted to unload the test article in a managed, predictable, and controlled way. This is not only a necessity for single axis tests, but also needed for mutiple axis simultanious unloading scenarios.

The Moog Off-Axis Load Abort Manifold (LAM) is specially designed to work with test actuators and controllers to create a controllable abortion scheme to unload the energy from the test articles and rigs to protect them damage and prevent worker injury.

Functions

  • Combine with Moog Servo Valves to perform conventional servo control of actuators
  • Limit the pressure in multi-axis directions to prevent overloading
  • Remove load from test articles under controlled and predictable speeds
  • Release pressure upon power off or unexpected power loss
