B. Power Unit
(1)
The power unit consists of a three-phase ac induction motor and a rotary actuator, which comprises a planetary gear set, torque limiting device, and a disconnect clutch. These components are housed within an aluminum casing.
(2)
AC Motor
(a) The ac motor is a bi-directional squirrel cage, induction type. The motor operates at 965 (+125/-100) RPM and is capable of driving the actuator under all operating-load conditions. The motor housing is vented to the atmosphere to eliminate possible moisture condensation.
(3)
Rotary Actuator
(a) The rotary actuator is powered by the bi-directional, ac motor. Motor output is through a torsion bar pinion shaft. The pinion serves as the sun gear in a three-planet gear system. Equally spaced around the sun gear, and meshing with it, are three planet gears, which are supported by a driven cage. Meshing with all planet gears is a common, fixed ring gear. The driven cage drives the input shaft of the torque limiting device. All planetary gears are mounted on needle bearings.

Torque Limiting Device and Disconnect Clutch
(a)
The torque limiting device is functionally designed to protect the aircraft structure from stalled ac motor loads. The device is comprised of a number of clutch discs. One set of discs are made of steel and splined internally to mate with the output of the planetary gear system cage. The other set of discs consist of steel plates with sintered friction material facings, and are splined externally to the output clutch element. This clutch disc pack is held under spring pressure. When the load torque is greater than the clutch setting, the spring pressure is relieved by a ball detent sensor; and the clutch discs slip.
CAUTION: THE TORQUE LIMITING DEVICE IS FUNCTIONALLY INOPERATIVE WHEN OPERATING THE AIRSTAIR IN THE MANUAL MODE OR WHILE AIRSTAIR MOVEMENT IS RESTRICTED IN TRANSIT DURING POWERED OPERATION. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESTRICT AIRSTAIR MOVEMENT WHILE OPERATING OR DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO THE AIRPLANE STRUCTURE OR THE AIRSTAIR.
(b)
The output of the torque limiter is coupled to the rotor of an electrically-operated, single disk, dry operating friction clutch. When power is applied to the ac motor, the clutch rotor and armature engage to drive the gearbox. The clutch is engaged by an electromagnetic field generated by rectified ac. One phase of the three-phase ac applied to the motor is used to generate the magnetic field. Therefore, as long as power is applied to the ac motor, the clutch will remain engaged. When power is interrupted, the clutch is disengaged by spring force.
