Ram Air Turbine Actuators

Fuel Driven Actuators provide actuation force to direct engine control components and provide electrical feedback of vane position to the engine computer.  Our stable of proven high reliability, low maintenance, and fire-resistant designs are capable of >250,000 cycles and operating pressures up to 2,250 psig.  We offer multiple mounting options, linear position sensing transducers, 3”+ diameter bores, and 3.5”+ strokes with servo valve applications in master/slave configurations.

Thrust reverser systems help to enable shorter landing distances and reduce wear on the braking system by slowing down the aircraft after touch-down. The actuator extends to deploy the system and retracts to stow it.  Arkwin’s proven designs are capable of >250,000 cycles with the application of high external loads. Our thrust reverser system  actuators operate at pressures up to 5,000 psig and feature multiple integrated control features for filtration, flow, and directional control. We offer multiple mounting options, linear position sensing transducers, 3”+ diameter bores, and 25”+ strokes.  Arkwin advanced locking mechanisms can be constructed from using feature multiple pawl configurations  depeding the application requirements.   Locks  can be integrated with visual and electrical lock indication  or position sensing.  Arkwin designs unlock with loads up to 20,000 pounds and hold over 33,000 pounds in operation.
