Shimadzu Corporation has received orders from Boeing of the United States that makes Shimadzu newly in charge of manufacturing the Horizontal Stabilizer Elevator Feel Actuator for the Boeing 737, 747-8, and 767 airplanes.

Since restarting our aircraft equipment business over a half century ago, in 1955, Shimadzu has developed and manufactured many aircraft components through technology license agreements with companies involved in the U.S. aircraft industry. Shimadzu started producing parts for Boeing, the world's largest commercial aircraft manufacturer, in 1976, for their 737 model. Since that time, we have steadily built up the business by delivering components for Boeing 747/757/767/777 models, such as gearboxes, check valve for pneumatic system, electromechanical actuators, and parts for doors, landing gear, and wings. In 2006, Shimadzu received a package order for major components used in the Boeing 747-8 trailing edge flap drive system.
Based on this experience of system development, Shimadzu has now received an order for horizontal stabilizer elevator feel actuators for Boeing 737/747-8/767 models, which is a new area of commercial aircraft flight controllers for Shimadzu, who is in charge of their production. Shimadzu hopes that receiving orders for a wider range of components will lead to steadily developing business as a system manufacturer in the commercial aircraft equipment industry.

Boeing 737/747-8/767 Horizontal Stabilizer Elevator Feel Actuator

The component for which Shimadzu will be newly responsible for manufacturing is the feel actuator on 737/747/767 models. The feel actuator is a part of the flight control system that actuates the elevator on the horizontal stabilizer.
When the pilot operates the control stick, this actuator enables the pilot to feel the loads on the actual elevator surface. When the pilot operates the control stick, the actuator determines the corresponding aircraft speed and horizontal stabilizer angle, then actuates the piston with high hydraulic pressure, controlled by the hydraulic controller, when the aerodynamic load on the elevator surface is high or with low hydraulic pressure when the aerodynamic load on the elevator surface is low.
