Preliminary Design of a Hydraulic Power Supply for a Laminar Jet Angular Rate Sensor

The preliminary design of a hydraulic power supply for a laminar jet angular rate sensor is described. The requirements upon which this design was based are that the power supply provide stable pressure and flow rates (of the order of 10 psi and 1 l min) over the military temperature range (-60 F to...

Description
Summary:The preliminary design of a hydraulic power supply for a laminar jet angular rate sensor is described. The requirements upon which this design was based are that the power supply provide stable pressure and flow rates (of the order of 10 psi and 1 l min) over the military temperature range (-60 F to 180 F). Reliability, safety, small size, and low cost are also factors that were considered. State-of-the-art equipment and passive control are specified. Also presented are test plans for measuring the performance of the proposed power supply and a limited literature review of potential hydraulic fluids. (Author)
