Product catalog summary
Introduction to Arkwin Industries
Arkwin Industries is a leading expert in hydraulic systems for aerospace and defense sectors. The company specializes in designing, testing, manufacturing, and supporting precision hydraulic and fuel system components for various applications, including civil and military aircraft, helicopters, spacecraft, and turbine engines. Arkwin is renowned for its quality and reliability, attracting top engineering and technical talent.

Rotor Brake Systems
Arkwin's rotor brake systems are designed to provide pressurized fluid to brake calipers, slowing the rotation of helicopter rotor blades during engine shutdown or startup. These systems include components such as master cylinders, reservoirs, accumulators, control valves, and servicing provisions.

Platforms
The rotor brake systems are compatible with platforms such as the H-60 Series, S-76, and Bell 525.

Operational Characteristics
  • Provides hydraulic pressure and stored volume to actuate and hold brake calipers, preventing rotor blade movement.
  • Operated by a mechanical handle, either integral or remote.
  • Features a detent in the "Unlocked" position and a locking device for the "Locked" position.

Design Characteristics
  • Operating pressure up to 1,000 psig.
  • Dual output pressures available, solenoid actuated.
  • Bypass features to compensate for normal brake wear.
  • Multiple mounting options.

Major Components
  • Mechanical operator and linkage.
  • Spring-loaded accumulator.
  • Housing and actuating piston.
  • Service features and valves.

Sample Brake Components
  • Side load tolerant piston and cylinder.
  • Relief valves and spring-loaded accumulator.
  • Air over oil reservoir and vent valves.
  • Detent and locking assemblies.
  • Service, fill, and bleeding provisions with fill level sight glass.

Key Features
  • S-76 Rotor Brake Accumulator.
  • Bell 525 Rotor Brake Master Cylinder.

Rotor Brake Components-1

Rotor Brake Components Rotor Brake systems provide pressurized fluid to the brake caliper by activating an operator handle to slow the rotation of the Helicopter rotor blades for engine shutdown or startup. Master cylinders, reservoirs, accumulators, control valves, and servicing provisions are included in many systems. Operational Characteristics: Provides hydraulic pressure and stored volume to actuate and hold a brake caliper to prevent movement of helicopter rotor blades Operated by mechanical handle (integral or remote) Detent provided in "Unlocked” position and locking device provided to hold lever in "Locked” position Major Components - Mechanical operator and linkage - Spring loaded accumulator - Housing - Actuating piston - Service features - Valves Design Characteristics: • Operating pressure up to 1,000 psig • Dual output pressures available, solenoid actuated • Bypass features can compensate for normal brake wear • Multiple mounting options Arkwin Industries is the technical expert in all things hydraulic for aerospace and defense. We design, test, manufacture, and support precision hydraulic and fuel system components for civil and military fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, spacecraft, turbine engines, and other special applications. Our reputation for quality and reliability, as well as our location, allow us to attract some of the best engineering, technical, and manufacturing talent available.
