D H Norton: 235. Development of a Direct Reading Torque Scale for Mass Balancing of Control Surfaces. 1959.

 

Abstract

This paper was presented at the Eighteenth National Conference of the S.A.W.E. May 18-21, 1959, Henry Grady Hotel, Atlanta Georgia.
This paper is concerned with a fixture, to be used by shop personnel, for the direct measurement of torque exerted by a control surface about its own hinge line. The intent of this paper is to improve on the current design.
The design objective was to come up with a new tool incorporating advantages over the current older design in the following areas;
1. Increased accuracy and sensitivity.
2. A significant reduction in time required.
3. A nearly universal application, so that the same basic equipment could be used for future control surfaces by adding a few special adapters or brackets.
4. Utter simplicity of operation.
