速得無線測力環(huán)現(xiàn)在在飛機現(xiàn)場救援任務中起到了重要作用。
Straightpoint load cells and shackles are key components of aircraft recovery kits that pull planes free when they have become stuck away from taxi areas and runways.
AMS是英國一家專門提供飛機救援設備的公司,其設備主要用于在飛機起落架陷于松軟地基之下的情況下進行的安全救援工作。
Farnborough, UK-based AMS Aircraft Recovery Ltd. is a specialist in the supply of equipment for aircraft de-bogging, which essentially involves the removal of a plane from an area where the undercarriage or landing gear has become bogged down on soft ground.
AMS公司提供各種類型和規(guī)格的飛機救援設備,包括連接卸扣、吊帶和用于監(jiān)測動態(tài)負載用的速得設備,在遇有大型飛機的條件下還可能用到平衡梁。這些設備的一端通過氣動減震裝置連接飛機起落架,另外一端則連接著提供動力來源的絞車或拖車等設備。
AMS supplies kits of varying types, sizes and capacities that typically include load cells, bow shackles and synthetic round slings, although additional items, such as spreaders, are sometimes required for recovering larger planes. The equipment is attached to the oleo strut, a pneumatic shock absorber used on landing gear, at one end and a tug, tractor, winch or pulling force at the other.
速得無線測力環(huán)采用優(yōu)質(zhì)的航空級鋁合金材料制造而成,并且其內(nèi)部核心結構也經(jīng)過了提升改進。為滿足客戶需求,AMS公司近期又采購了一臺25噸的速得無線測力環(huán)和10個25噸的弓形卸扣。
AMS recently ordered a 25t Radiolink Plus load cell and 10 25t bow shackles to assemble such kits for aviation customers. Fittingly, the wireless load cell is constructed of high-quality aircraft grade aluminium, whilst boasting an advanced internal design structure.
AMS公司的馬克奈特先生表示,力值監(jiān)測技術現(xiàn)在在我們的日常工作中已變得越來越重要。有些飛機制造商都明確規(guī)定了,其制造的飛機在起吊或水平移動的過程中,每一個位置上的受力都必須進行監(jiān)控。
Mark Knight, director, AMS Aircraft Recovery Ltd., said: “Force measurement technology is becoming an increasingly important component in this common aircraft recovery scenario. Some aircraft manufacturers state that every force that is applied to any part of their planes must be measured and monitored during lifting and moving applications.”
每一架飛機的救援操作指南都會提供在各種不同救援條件下救援設備使用者所需要了解的信息,包括索具允許的連接點位和可以加載的最大力值。
Every plane has an aircraft recovery manual that provides information the users of a de-bogging kit need in a myriad of recovery situations. The documentation will state where slings can be attached and the maximum forces that can be applied.
馬克先生解釋說,以世界上最大的空客A380客機為例,單一油液減震柱上所能承受的最大力值為65噸。開展救援時,如果是飛機前側的鼻錐起落架,我們一般都選擇一個單一的連接點。更多的情況下,我們則是在主起落架上選擇兩個連接點。
Knight explained that on the world’s largest aircraft, the Airbus A380, for example, the maximum force that can be applied to any single oleo strut is 65t. De-bogging applications can involve a single attachment to the nose cone landing gear at the front of the plane, but more common recovery operations involve two connection points on the main landing gear.
馬克先生接著解釋說,對于多點連接,我們的救援團隊可以將力在飛機上分散開來,不管力作用在什么位置上,了解其大小都是非常重要的。雖然很多飛機都規(guī)定有一些專門用于連接起落架的工具設施,但大多數(shù)情況下機場很少備有這些工具設施。所以,我們的客戶也清楚,出現(xiàn)意外或緊急情況時總是需要臨時準備這些,我們即提供這種服務。
Knight said: “With multiple connection points a recovery team can spread the force across the plane, but it is still vitally important to know the forces wherever they are being applied to the aircraft and the towing machine. Many aircraft have specific tooling that can be attached to the undercarriage, which can be connected in turn to the sling, but airports rarely have them in stock so our customers are familiar with having to improvise during crisis management.”
