Definitions
- Freeplay can be defined, but without limitation, as the positional or rotational variation in mechanical parts. All aircraft include movable control surfaces for directional control during flight. Control surfaces, which are movable, include, but without limitation, the rudder, the aileron, the elevator, and the all-moveable horizontal tail of an aircraft. These control surfaces, particularly those operated in a military environment must be monitored for the freeplay of the control system. Excessive freeplay can result in flutter, vibrations, fatigue, divergence, or other instabilities. Historically, freeplay testing involves using complex ground fixtures. This testing is time consuming, requires a large team, and is very expensive.
- Freeplay is typically tested by applying a known load to the control surface and measuring the corresponding deflection. This is repeated over numerous different loads (both positive and negative) for a minimum of three cycles.
- a rotational variable differential transformer is used to measure rotation between a rudder and a tail of an aircraft, while a test hydraulic actuator and a load cell are used to record the load.

Abstract
Description
- The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for governmental purposes without payment of any royalties thereon or therefor.
- Freeplay can be defined, but without limitation, as the positional or rotational variation in mechanical parts. All aircraft include movable control surfaces for directional control during flight. Control surfaces, which are movable, include, but without limitation, the rudder, the aileron, the elevator, and the all-moveable horizontal tail of an aircraft. These control surfaces, particularly those operated in a military environment must be monitored for the freeplay of the control system. Excessive freeplay can result in flutter, vibrations, fatigue, divergence, or other instabilities. Historically, freeplay testing involves using complex ground fixtures. This testing is time consuming, requires a large team, and is very expensive.
- Freeplay is typically tested by applying a known load to the control surface and measuring the corresponding deflection. This is repeated over numerous different loads (both positive and negative) for a minimum of three cycles. For example, a rotational variable differential transformer is used to measure rotation between a rudder and a tail of an aircraft, while a test hydraulic actuator and a load cell are used to record the load. Such setups are labor intensive and take a significant amount of time.
- The latest United States Navy program requires that a freeplay test be performed after every flight. This adds excessive cost and time to aircraft maintenance. Therefore, an alternative method to test freeplay of control surfaces is needed. In particular, there is a need to test the free play of a ruddervator. A ruddervator may be defined, but without limitation, as a pair of control surfaces on a v-tail design that perform the function of both a rudder and an elevator.
- The present invention is directed to a system with the needs enumerated above and below.
- The present invention is directed to a freeplay measurement device for measuring freeplay in a ruddervator. The measurement device includes a forward horseshoe assembly, an aft horseshoe assembly, a L-shaped locator, a connecting assembly, a load applicator, and a measuring device. The forward horseshoe assembly forms a half of an ellipse that can slip on the forward half of the tail. The aft horseshoe assembly forms a half of an ellipse that can slip on the aft half of the tail and ruddervator. The L-shaped locator is for aligning the forward horseshoe assembly on the tail and perpendicularly extends from the forward horseshoe assembly. The connecting assembly connects the forward horseshoe assembly and the aft horseshoe assembly when each is placed over the tail and the ruddervator. The load applicator is for applying loads on the ruddervator. The measuring device is for measuring the deflections of the ruddervator being tested, and is attached to the forward horseshoe assembly.
- It is a feature of the present invention to provide a freeplay measurement device that is easy to use and is inexpensive.
- It is a feature of the present invention to provide a freeplay measurement device that can measure freeplay quickly, and utilize less than two people.
- It is a feature of the present invention to provide a freeplay measurement device that does not require use of hydraulics or complex computer programs.

Themeasuring device 700 is for measuring the deflections of theruddervator 80 being tested, and is attached to the forward horseshoe assembly 100 (particularly the second forward u-shaped bracket 120). - As seen in
FIGS. 1 and 2 , in the preferred embodiment, theload applicator 400 can be a machine screw jack apparatus with ajack screw 451 and aload handle 452 for increasing or decreasing the load. However, any type of load applicator that is practicable can be utilized. The load applicator (or machine screw jack apparatus) 400 may be attached to the aft horseshoe assembly 200 (particularly to both the first aft u-shapedbracket 210 and the second aft u-shaped bracket 220) via ajack mount assembly 453. Thejack mount assembly 453 may be a bracket that connects the two aft u-shapedbrackets load applicator 400. Theload applicator 400 can include aruddervator bracket 455 that communicates with theruddervator 80 being tested (via a load indicator gauge 776) such that load is applied to theruddervator 80. Theload applicator 400 may also include adigital load indicator 454 which indicates the load being put on theruddervator 80. - The
freeplay measuring device 10 may also include at least oneclamp assembly 775. Theclamp assembly 775 is at least one clamp attached to aforward support brace 500 that secures thedevice 10 to thetail 50 and theruddervator 80. Two of thesupport braces 500 opposite the twoclamp assemblies 775 have apolycarbonate contact surface 575 attached in such a way as to provide a sufficient clamp force from theclamp assemblies 775 and so that thetail 50 being tested is not damaged. - As seen in
FIG. 1 , the measuringdevice 700 may be two id-c indicators that are attached to theforward horseshoe assembly 100 via ameasuring device bracket 705 and can be connected to theforward horseshoe assembly 100 via measuring device screws 706. - Typically, a
tail 50 includes atip 55 and amass balance 60. In the preferred operation, as seen inFIGS. 4A and 4B , theforward horseshoe assembly 100 is positioned until the L-shapedlocator 600 corresponds with thetip 55 of thetail 50 and is positioned under themass balance 60 of thetail 50. Theaft horseshoe assembly 200 is slipped over the back end of theruddervator 80, aligned with theforward horseshoe assembly 100, and theruddervator bracket 455 is aligned with theruddervator 80. In other embodiments, there may be multipleruddervator brackets 455 for equal distribution of load on theruddervator 80. Once eachhorseshoe assembly tail 50 and theruddervator 80, theaft horseshoe assembly 200 is attached to theforward horseshoe assembly 100 using the connectingassembly 300. As shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , the connectingassembly 300 may be eight connecting assembly screws. However, any type of connecting assembly that is practicable may be utilized.

Theload applicator 400 is then engaged and a load is applied to theruddervator 80. The load handle 452 is turned until the desired load is achieved by reading the digitalload gage indicator 454. The corresponding deflections, as observed on the two dial indicators are recorded with the load. This process is done in increments of 10% of the maximum desired load until 100% is achieved. Then theload handle 452 is turned in the opposite direction such as to incrementally unload the control surface. This is done in 10% increments until the maximum negative load is achieved. For each step the load and corresponding deflections are recorded. The load handle 452 is then turned in the original direction in increments of 10% until zero load is achieved all the while recording load and deflections.
