  • Chapter 7: Aircraft Materials, Hardware, & Processes › Aircraft Metals › Push-Pull Tube Linkage

    Push-Pull Tube Linkage Push-pull tubes are used as linkage in various types of mechanically-operated systems. This type linkage eliminates the problem of varying tension and permits the transfer of either compression or tension stress through a single ... vibration and bending under compression loads. Figure 7-66. Acres sleeve identification. A. Drill out corrosion or damage to existing hole to 1/64 oversize. B. Select proper type and length acres sleeve for existing fastener. C. Bond sleeve in structure…

  • Chapter 9: Aircraft Electrical System › Wire Termination › AN/MS Connectors

    module blocks. Environmentally resistant connectors should be used in applications subject to fluids, vibration, heat, mechanical shock, and/or corrosive elements. When HIRF/lightning protection is required, special attention should be given to the terminations of individual or overall shields. The number ... manufacturer or the appropriate governing agency must be followed. Figure 9-158. Electrical connectors. Types of Connector Connectors must be identified by an original identification number derived from MIL Specification (MS) or OEM specification. Figure 9-159 provides information about…

  • Chapter 7: Aircraft Materials, Hardware, & Processes › Aircraft Metals › Identification and Coding

    Identification and Coding Bolts are manufactured in many shapes and varieties. A clear-cut method of classification is difficult. The shape of the head, method of securing, material used in fabrication, or the expected usage can identify bolts. AN-type ... type or a special purpose bolt. • AN standard steel bolts are marked with either a raised dash or asterisk or a single raised dash. AN aluminum-alloy bolts are marked with two raised dashes to indicate corrosion-resistant steel. • Additional…
