Testing Aircraft Components
Sun Test Systems develops, produces, installs and services high-quality test equipment for testing various components of civil and military aircraft and helicopters.
Test Stands for Aircraft Component
Having merged the experience from Verolme Test Stands and HML with ours, we have created a complete line of state-of-the-art Test Stands for:
- Hydraulic components
- Pneumatic components
- Fuel components
- Generators and IDG’s.
Tailor made solutions
Beside this range of standard Test Stands, we also produce tailor made solutions for any thinkable component testing.
A skilled Service Organisation guarantees fast and efficient support in the field. This is recognised by our customers, for some of which we now also service equipment of other make.
Advantages
- High operational reliability and availability of the test equipment
- Focus on low Total Cost of Ownership
- High ease of use, multi employability and low noise level
- Open software source
- Customer specific wishes are possible
- Customer Support and Service.
Universal hydraulic test stand
This hydraulic test stand is designed for testing a wide range of both linear and rotating aircraft and helicopter components in an efficient and safe way. This test stand has the unique Gun-drive capability for the hydraulic motor of the F16 gun drive.
Applicable Aircraft:
- All existing helicopters and aircraft.
- All existing fighters: F16, F18, F35 JSF, Typhoon, Eurofighter, Mirage, Hawk, Tornado, Alpha Jet etc.
Capabilities
In principle every hydraulic component can be tested on this bench, as long as LRU’s specifications are within those of the bench.
- Linear Actuators (auto-cycling), with or without limit switches
- Valves
- Hydro motors
- Hydro pumps (up to15.000 RPM)
- Gun Drive (for F16, automatic), with auto RPM-Torque Closed-Loop-Control Curves, timing measurements
- Main Landing Gear Servo (automatic recording hysteresis curve).
General characteristics
- Fully computer controlled, testing in Manual, Semi-Auto and Automatic mode
- 2 identical 3500 psi 35 GPM pumps with flow measurement can be both separately pressurized or flow controlled
- Pumps can be combined to one test point for full flow of 70 GPM and flows can be combined to one test point with flow readout on flow meter
Rotating parts (Hydro pumps and motors) test compartment
- Electric Powered Drive 0..13.000 RPM, 98kW
- Computer controlled hydraulic rotational brake, 8.000 RPM with Rotating Torque Transducer. Can be used in both Speed Control or Torque Control mode
- The oil flow to Hydraulic motors can be regulated using pressure flow regulation
- Outlet Pressure and Case Drain Pressure regulation with integrated
Linear components test compartment
- High Flow Low pressure outlet
- 3 regulated and flow metered return systems
- 3 computer controlled 0 to 30VDC 5A power supplies
- Computer Controlled Servo Current, 0..200mADC
- 6 general use Pressure Transmitters (gauge and differential) with different ranges
- Static computer controlled high pressure nitrogen system, with possibility for automatic leak tests (time/pressure loss)
- Pneumatically controlled oil components provision
- Automatic computer controlled temperature regulators (up to 150°F) are included in the software.
