Electro-mechanical & Electro-hydraulic Actuators
EMA Flight Control Actuator Prognostics
Impact Technologies, in partnership with Lockheed Martin
and Parker Hannifin Corporation have developed a suite of prognostic techniques for flight control actuator electronics. Electro-magnetic actuator electronic units utilized within many
of our programs support a robust initiated and continuous Built In Test (BIT) capability. Based on a rigorous and comprehensive analysis simulation and associated highly accelerated life
testing (HALT) program the Impact PHM algorithms were able
to detect incipient faults, identify failures and provide prognostic information before the faults are identified by the BITs.
