INTRODUCTION
The elastomeric based rotor system on
the AS350 creates in flight dynamic forces
that causes feedback in the cockpit flight
controls. To counteract these forces the
AS350 is equipped with a single hydraulic
system that assists with the pitch changes
and dampens out dynamic feedback on
the main and tail rotor blades.
GENERAL
The hydraulic system is comprised of
a reservoir, variable delivery pump, a
hydraulic distribution block, 3 servo control
manifolds, 3 main rotor servos, a single tail
rotor servo and on certain models a yaw
load compensator.
Components
Reservoir
The hydraulic reservoir is secured by two
clamps to the aft side of the conical
housing of the main gear box and is
constructed of light aluminum alloy
(Figure 170). It has a capacity of 2.1 liters
and is equipped with a sight glass on
the right side of the reservoir to view the
level of the hydraulic fluid. The reservoir
is equipped with a vented cap that can
be easily opened to add hydraulic fluid to
the system and a strainer mounted in the
reservoir opening to filter out debris when
adding fluid to the system. Hydraulic fluid
from the reservoir flows by gravity to the
hydraulic pump.
