Description / Abstract:
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) defines all the relevant issues that affect the generation of an Interface Control Document for Mechanical Actuation Sub-Systems. It is intended to provide to all parties involved with the generation of Mechanical Actuation Sub-Systems, a definition of documentation, drawings, reports and design parameters required to assure a successful development of mechanical actuation sub-systems forAerospace-Military and Commercial applications.
Purpose:
This ARP is intended as a guide, in the preparation of interface requirements, for Mechanical Actuation Subsystems used in Aerospace-Military and Commercial applications. This document focuses on mechanical actuation subsystems to position control surfaces, weapon systems, cargo bay doors and other similar mechanisms, in response to manual or automatic power control system inputs. Detail requirements necessary to completely define the mechanical subsystem interfaces, whether in a Procurement Specification and/or a separate Interface Document, are the responsibility of the procuring agency.
