Aerospace series - Modules for Electro-Mechanical Actuators in Aircraft

Scope

This CEN workshop agreement proposes standards for modules of EMAs to be used in aeronautical applications. The modules are to be used in all kinds of airframes, fixed wing and helicopter, and all classes of aircraft, from business-jet to large aircraft. The level of standardization depends on the module. For some modules a higher level is considered feasible and profitable than for other modules. In particular for the electronic modules the proposed level is higher than for the mechanical modules because the electronic modules tend to have a much higher level of commonality between different EMA applications and interfaces with the same data and power busses in the aircraft, whereas the mechanical modules interface with aircraft parts that are tailored for the application of the EMA in the specific location of the aircraft.
