Powertrain Flashcards

1
Q

(COL) What is a planetary gear train?

A

Consists of a central gear (sun gear), intermediate pinons (planetary gears), and a coaxial ring gear. The pinon gears rotate about the sun gear.

Q

What are the two types of rotor brake assemblies? Are they interchangeable?

A

Parker Hanifin and Goodyear. No

35
Q

Magnetic pickup caution?

A

Do not rotate pickup during removal or installation, doing so damages the alignment pin and mag pickup.

36
Q

Describe magnetic pickup

A

Provides RPM signal to ENG page and MSPU. MSPU monitoring mode is group 1 components only, triggered at 90% RPM, sensed by MSPU through TACH 3.
Housed on same axis as secondary clutch - allows no Nr reading on APU.
