  8. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

  9. Hydraulic fluid is gravity fed from the reservoir to the pump assembly, which pressurizes the fluid and sends it through the pressure regulator valve. This valve regulates system pressure to approximately psi. 600 +/-50

  10. The hydraulic pressure switch, located downstream from the filter, continually monitors system pressure and will close if the pressure falls below psi. A hydraulic pressure light illuminates when the switch closes and goes out when the pressure rises above psi. 300 400

  11. Sequence valve Differential relief valve Pilot valve

  12. Sequence Valve • Hydraulic pressure on the sequence valve pushes down on the poppet valve and spring, thereby opening a return port for fluid to return to the reservoir. • If pressure is lost, the sequence valve closes, trapping fluid in the servo which will continue to dampen main rotor feedback (vibrations).

  13. Differential Relief Valve • The function of the differential relief valve is to cause fluid to be routed to the return line if back pressure exceeds system pressure. • Heavy main rotor loads are one possible source of excessive back pressure

  14. Pilot Valve • The pilot valve is mechanically connected to the flight controls and receives input from movement of the controls. This causes the pilot valve to move and allow fluid under 600 psi pressure to enter the actuator, which then moves the flight controls. When the flight controls reach the desired position, the pilot valve centers and fluid flow to the actuator is stopped.
