Intermediate Gearbox Azimuth Sensor

The Intermediate Gearbox Azimuth Sensor is a component that belongs to the supply class Helicopter Rotor Blades, Drive Mechanisms And Components in the supply group Aerospace Craft Components And Accessories.

This sensor is specifically designed for use in the intermediate gearbox of a helicopter. It is responsible for measuring the azimuth angle of the gearbox, which is the horizontal angle between the gearbox and a reference point. This information is crucial for the proper operation and control of the helicopter's rotor system.

The Intermediate Gearbox Azimuth Sensor is typically equipped with advanced sensing technology, such as accelerometers or gyroscopes, to accurately measure the azimuth angle. It is designed to withstand the harsh operating conditions of a helicopter, including vibrations, temperature variations, and high levels of mechanical stress.

The sensor is connected to the helicopter's control system, providing real-time data on the azimuth angle of the intermediate gearbox. This data is used by the pilot and the helicopter's flight control system to ensure precise control of the rotor system and optimize the helicopter's performance.

Overall, the Intermediate Gearbox Azimuth Sensor plays a critical role in the safe and efficient operation of a helicopter's rotor system, making it an essential component in the aerospace industry.
