RT Conference Proceedings T1 Test bench for helicopter electro mechanical actuation system validation: Design and validation of dedicated test bench for aeronautical electromechanical actuators A1 Echevarria, Imanol A1 Lasa, Joseba A1 Casado, Pablo A1 Dominguez, Alberto A1 Eguizabal, Inigo A1 Lizeaga, Mikel A1 Perez, Raul A1 Berenguer, Oscar AB The introduction of a new product in the aeronautical sector implies conducting characterization tests in an automated, safe and sustainable way. This paper describes a dedicated test bench design and validation that allows characterizing a swashplate Helicopter Electro Mechanical Actuation System (HEMAS). The test bench replicates the operating conditions that the actuator will encounter in service simulating the aerodynamic force by a hydraulic counter load system. The results obtained in validation tests show the ability of the test bench to replicate specified test cases. The validation was performed using a hydraulic cylinder to replicate the motion profile that will be followed by the actuator. The test campaign with the actuator will be performed during 2015.
