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.
