Part Family: Hydraulic Component

Manufacturers: Hydraulic power packs are manufactured by Piper Aircraft, Mcculloch Corp, and Woodward Hrt Inc.

Functionality of Hydraulic Power Packs: A hydraulic power pack is a self-contained unit that is comprised primarily of a reservoir, a motor, and a hydraulic pump. It also has a directional valve, check valve, pressure relief valve, selector valve, actuator, and filter. Hydraulic power packs can generate massive amounts of power by using fluid to transmit power from one location to another. This can then be used to drive hydraulic machinery. When heavy lifting or repeated directional force is required, hydraulic power packs offer the perfect solution, drawing their power from ratios of area and pressure as defined by Pascal’s law of physics.

FSG: Hydraulic Power Packs are categorized under FSG 28: Engines, Turbines, and Components

FSC: Hydraulic Power Packs are categorized under FSC 2840: Gas Turbines and Jet Engines, Aircraft, Prrime Moving; and Components.

Depending on the aircraft type, hydraulic power packs can also be classified under FSG 16: Aircraft Components and Accessories and FSC 1650: Aircraft Hydraulic, Vacuum, and De-icing System Components

Common Applications: There are different kinds and shapes of brackets depending on the specific application on the aircraft. The most common construction material used on aircraft are aluminum, magnesium, titanium steel, and their alloys. Aluminum brackets are high-strength and light-weight making them ideal for aircraft airframes. Loading brackets are critical in supporting the weight of the engine during handling on the ground and are removed prior to flight. Fixed-place brackets are found in the landing gear, airframe assembly, fuselage, and wings of an aircraft.
