LIFT AND HOLD DIFFERENTIAL LIFT PDU UTILIZING A PERMANENT MAGNET ROTOR

A power drive unit (PDU) for moving cargo relative to a cargo bay (152) of an aircraft (150) includes a cam shaft (109). The PDU also includes a lift cam (108) coupled to the cam shaft and configured to cause the PDU to be in at least one of a raised position or a lowered position based on rotation...

Zusammenfassung:A power drive unit (PDU) for moving cargo relative to a cargo bay (152) of an aircraft (150) includes a cam shaft (109). The PDU also includes a lift cam (108) coupled to the cam shaft and configured to cause the PDU to be in at least one of a raised position or a lowered position based on rotation of the cam shaft. The PDU also includes a permanent magnet motor (102) configured to generate a cogging torque sufficient to resist rotation of the cam shaft such that the PDU remains in the raised position in response to power being removed from the permanent magnet motor.
