Electric Flap Actuator

Post by Wayne G. O'Shea » Fri Feb 17, 2012 11:02 pm

Now that I've woke up to what you are talking about Steve, I have one here
that is completely wired up to a limit switch plate, that gets attached
under the end of the mixer arm on a Rebel/Elite, and the control toggle
switch for the panel (it also has the built in adjustable switches on the
unit if you wanted to use them instead). It also has the pivot mounting
block as well as the alum channels and everything as removed to mount it in
the area where the rear window would be. I removed it from a Rebel that I
bought / reworked / sold and shipped to Maui, as neither I nor the guy that
bought the airplane can stand electric flaps (but we've had that heated
discussion here before so lets no go there again!! ;o)) ! ) Had about 10
hours on it since installation.

It an SKF model CARL 22X50X1/D24B by one label on it and CAXB22x50 on
another. 24 volt model (so it runs 1/2 speed on 12 volts for a nice movement
speed!)

Now that Steve has let you know what they are worth if anyone is interested
send me a personal email so I can tell you where to send the cash and I will
cover the postage to send it out to you in Canada or USA (other countries
negotiable!)!

Cheers,

Guy, I have one coming out of the states for 170 us by parcel post. Best
price here in Edmonton was 300 cdn plus shipping via ups, over 350 plus.
They
come in 12 & 24 volts are about 6 1/2 " long retracted and weigh 1.25 lbs
have
a 2" stroke (available in 2,4 & 6") and has builtin limiter switches that
shut
off and each end of stroke. Completely enclosed and have long life time of
cycles. They also have ones with potentometers (not spelled right) will
indicate their position on a meter. The one I saw in Bob,s plane was added
after completion. He mounted it parrell to the mixer bar and used another
bellcrank to keep the assembly under the window. I am not putting in a
rear
window so I will mount mine at 90* to the bar. Try running a search under
linear actuators on the internet. I'm at work right now but can get the
company name if you need it or can't find it on the internet. They were
made
by Warner Elec. but now distributed by another company. Name escapes me
right
now.
