Flight controls require extreme auditing prior to in-flight use. FUTEK's MAU300 Gear Shift Load Cell provides quality assurance engineers with the appropriate tools to monitor the force applied to helicopter cyclic controls (joysticks).

How It Works

• Helicopter cyclic controls (joysticks) are responsible for lateral and longitudinal movements of the aircraft
• To ensure that these mechanism are operating properly, quality assurance engineers can install FUTEK's MAU300 Multi-Axis Gear Shift Load Cell into the shaft of each joystick.
• The MAU300 performs measurements in both the Fx and Fy directions.
• These force measurements can be read upon a digital display, such as FUTEK's IPM650 Panel Mount Display or SENSLOG Handheld Display, or streamed to a PC utilizing FUTEK's USB Solutions.
• Once streamed to a PC, that data can then be monitored by FUTEK's SENSIT™ Test and Measurement Software. SENSIT™ can monitor up to 16 channels of measurement readings, as well as live graph and data log.
