ATTACHMENT I The stabilizer actuator test stand (P/N ST-00463) is used to functionally test the stabilizer actuator after overhaul. The physical structure of the test must be capable of withstanding a minimum load of 2500 lbs. without any bending or deformation. The stabilizer actuator is vertically mounted on the test stand with one end stationary and the other end movable through a hydraulic actuator. The test stand consists of the following components: a. Hydraulic Actuator - The hydraulic actuator is capable of applying a regulated load of 0 2500 lbs. on the stabilizer actuator during the entire extend or retract cycles. b. Hydraulic Pressure Regulator - The pressure regulator is used to select hydraulic pressures applied to the stabilizer actuator during the functional test. c. Hydraulic Pressure Gauge - The hydraulic pressure gauge is used to monitor hydraulic pressure applied to the stabilizer actuator. The gauge must be certified at least monthly. d. Digital Position Readout - The digital position readout indictor is used to monitor the travel of the stabilizer actuator. Signals to the indicator are picked up from a rigid mounted linear potentiometer and movable wiper attached to the hydraulic actuator. The digital readout is accurate to 1/1000th of an inch. e. Linear Scale - A linear scale, graduated in 100th of an inch, is permanently mounted on the test stand to verify the digital readout. A tool of known length is used to verify the linear scale and digital readout before the stabilizer actuator functional test is performed. The tool length must be certified at least yearly. f. Lapse Timer - A lapse timer is coupled to the control switches and the stabilizer actuator to monitor travel time during the extend and retract cycles. The lapse timer must measure seconds to be accurate to 1/100th of a second. g. Trim Controller - The trim controller is used to simulate two-speed input to the stabilizer actuator primary motor. The trim controller part number is EM 2079-6. h. Pre-Select Timer - The pre-select timer is used to check stabilizer actuator travel vs. time, voltage and amperage inputs in accordance with the functional test. i. Power Supply - The power supply is variable through 0-30 volts DC and 0-3 amperes DC. j. DC Voltmeter - The DC voltmeter must be capable of measuring 0-30 volts DC and must be certified at least yearly. The voltmeter is used to monitor the voltage inputs to the stabilizer actuator in accordance with the functional test. k. DC Ammeter - The DC ammeter must be capable of measuring 0-30 amperes DC and must be certified at least yearly. The ammeter is used to monitor the amperes inputs to the stabilizer actuator in accordance with the functional test. l. Millivolt Meter - The millivolt meter is used to monitor the stabilizer actuator linear potentiometer for a smooth and steady signal output. The meter is 0-50 volts graduated in 100 mv increments. m. Switches - Necessary switches installed to operate the stabilizer actuator primary and secondary motors to extend or retract. n. A digital or Simpson 260 meter, not a part of the test stand, is used to verify the resistance of the stabilizer actuator linear potentiometer. The digital or Simpson 260 meter must be certified at least every 90 working days. FOOTER:
