KELLY MFG (RC ALLEN) RCA26AK/26BK Series TSO'd Electric Attitude Indicators SKU: RCA-GAU-AI-26AK/26BK

The FAA TSO'd RCA26AK (14V) and 26BK (28V) series of electric attitude indicators (artificial horizons) by KELLY MFG (RC ALLEN) are known for their dependability and ruggedness. They incorporate tremendous advances in presentation, precision, and reliability.With a proven track record for dependability and ruggedness, the attractive new extended color schemes and ultra-precise spherical presentation (eliminating old parallax problems) they set a new standard for safety.These gyros provide a more accurate IFR reference for the beginning instrument pilot or a Cat II captain. A new three phase motor/inverter is designed into the gyro enabling it to operate at lower temperatures which extends to useful life. The instruments employ a new, high precision air erection system which provide erection torque for maintaining a proper vertical alignment reference. The erection air is supplied by a turbine pump which is integrally coupled with the gyro motor. Through maximum utilization of unitized construction the design is free of resonant frequencies below 100 HZ and thus cannot respond to low frequency disturbances which can cause dither and premature wear out of the unit. The display portion of the instruments has a directly coupled roll movement, and a pitch movement mechanism identical to that of the field proven vacuum gyros produced by R.C.Allen since 1966. A "pull to cage" spring type force limited mechanism assures immediate alignment and stability whenever power has been applied to the gyro, a feature non-existent on vacuum driven gyros. These artificial horizons have a hybrid inverter which converts the aircraft DC power to the required voltage and frequency for motor operation. All units have a pull cage knob and a power failure flag that drops into view whenever the supply voltage is lost or when the voltage has dropped below a level of acceptable for proper operation of the gyro. Slip indicator can be added to satisfy FAA AC91-75 upon request. Available in 14V or 28V voltage versions with fixed or movable pointer, lighted or unlighted, power failure flag, panel tilt and optional inclinometer. Mating connector MS3116E8-4S and panel screws are now included with each new instrument at no extra charge.
