Product catalog summary
Overview of the Bell/Boeing V-22 Osprey
The V-22 Osprey is an innovative aircraft that combines the capabilities of a helicopter and an airplane through its tilt-rotor technology. It is designed for various military branches, including the Marine Corps, Air Force, Navy, and Special Operations Command, offering enhanced combat capabilities. The aircraft has different variants such as the MV-22B for amphibious assault, HV-22 for search and rescue, and CV-22 for special operations.
Specifications and Capabilities
The V-22 can transport 24 troops or 20,000 lbs of cargo internally, or 1,000 lbs externally, reaching speeds up to 275 knots. It is equipped with two Allison turbo-shaft engines and cross-coupled transmissions to ensure rotor power even if one engine fails. The aircraft features a composite airframe, advanced hydraulic systems, fly-by-wire controls, and digital avionics.
Eaton's Contributions
Eaton supplies critical components for the V-22, including hydraulics, fuel, conveyance, and actuation products. These include engine-driven pumps, hydraulic power drive units, and various valves and modules for fluid flow and hydraulic power distribution.
Hydraulic System Details
The hydraulic system operates at 5000 psi, featuring components like variable displacement pumps and hydraulic motors. Eaton's products ensure efficient hydraulic power for flight control and utility functions, with features such as pressure compensators and isolation valves.
Additional Components
Eaton also provides components like optical sensors, chip detectors, and desiccant breathers to enhance reliability and maintenance. These components monitor critical systems and ensure the aircraft's operational safety and longevity.
Inline Piston Motor
This motor operates at 5,000 psi with a displacement of 0.105 cu in/rev, used in the blade fold and wing rotation sequence, providing rotary power for a 90-degree structure rotation.
Engine-Driven Pump
Hydraulic power is supplied by three Eaton 5000 psi variable displacement, pressure-compensated inline piston pumps, delivering 38 gpm at 6,000 rpm in helicopter mode and 33 gpm at 5,075 rpm in airplane mode.
Lubriclones
These units monitor bearings and gears, enhancing early failure detection by separating debris particles and removing air from oil with 95% efficiency.
Desiccant Breather
These breathers remove moisture from air entering gearboxes or transmissions to prevent corrosion.
Chip Detectors
These sensors detect metallic debris in engines and gearboxes, acting as a switch when debris bridges the gap between electrodes.
Prismalite®
Prismalite sight gauges allow oil reservoir levels to be read from above or below, indicating fluid coverage with a solid dark area.
Chip Collector
Located in an auxiliary gearbox, these collectors gather ferrous particles, indicating potential component failure.
Sight Gauge
The oblong window allows for viewing large fluid level changes, accommodating various fluids, pressures, and temperatures up to 2000ºF.
Optical Sensors
These sensors detect oil levels in gearboxes, are explosion-proof, and protected from power supply transients.
Differential Pressure Switch
This switch detects filter clogging or low-fuel booster pump pressure, actuating an electrical switch when the pressure differential exceeds a preset value.
Wire Braided Hose Assemblies
Used in low-pressure hydraulic, lube oil, and fuel systems, rated for pressures up to 1500 psi, featuring Teflon® hose with crimp fittings.
Low Profile Ball Bearing Swivels
Operating at 4000 psi, these titanium swivels minimize torque and maximize service life in the V-22 hydraulic system.
Kevlar® Hose Assemblies
These assemblies optimize weight reduction, rated for 5,000 psi in the hydraulic supply system and 4,000 psi in the low-pressure return system.
Convoluted Hose Assemblies
Rated for pressures up to 1000 psi, these assemblies provide flexibility and feature a proprietary silicone cover for fire resistance.
Rynglok® Fittings
These titanium axial swage fittings are used in the V-22's high-pressure hydraulic system, providing a lightweight and reliable means of joining hydraulic lines.

Bell/Boeing V-22 Osprey-2

The Bell/Boeing V-22 Osprey is the first production aircraft in the world utilizing tilt-rotor technology. The tilt-rotor allows the V-22 to takeoff and land vertically, much like a helicopter, and once airborne, transition into horizontal high-speed, high-altitude flight by tilting the wing-tip mounted engine nacelles forward 90 degrees so that the rotors function as conventional propellers. The V-22 is the first rotocraft designed to meet the requirements of four agencies: the Marine Corps, the Air Force, the Navy, and the Special Operations Command. This highly survivable, low-maintenance combat...

Rotor Brake Valve The rotor brake valve has two solenoid-operated, 2-stage, 3-way, 2-position, normally closed valves, an orifice, a check valve and a relief valve. By energizing the proper solenoid with 28 VDC, hydraulic force is applied to or released from the aircraft rotor brake. The brake is applied when the aircraft engines are shut down and prevents the inadvertent rotation of the prop-rotors and their drive train components. This module regulates the hydraulic flow to the winch and hoist hydraulic motors to control speed in response to an electrical input. Speed is independent of motor load....

Ramp Control Valve The ramp control valve contains two solenoid-operated, 2-stage, 3-position, 4-way valves, a solenoid operated 2-stage, 3-way valve, a pressure-reducing valve, relief valve, and pilot-operated check valve. Each of the solenoid-operated valves can also be manually operated. Using either electrical or manual control, the ramp control valve controls hydraulic flow to the actuators, which raise and lower the cargo ramp, open and close the cargo door and latch the cargo door. Remote Switching Valve Each remote switching valve consists of a solenoid-operated, 2-stage, 2-position,...
