We have a few of the first production MGL Autopilot servos for display at Osh at the MGL booth.
This professional level servo is machined from solid aluminium. It fully integrates all electronics. The servo is able to measure forces acting on the servo arm so it becomes simple to show out-of-trim forces on an EFIS display or use this information for automated trim systems.
Available in different force ranges, the standard offering does a useful 4.6Nm torque (including during arm positioning). Maximum torque is electronically adjustable over a wide range.
The servo is not limited to any particular movement range or angles and can be utilized even in applications requiring multiple turns. Threaded holes on the servo face can be used to fit mechanical stops as needed to prevent dead center positioning. The output shaft is supported by two ball bearings which allows full application of torque even at high axial load angles.
The servo features contactless, zero wear position feedback, is highly accurate and does not have a deadband. Fast arm movement allows use of the servo in full authority autopilot and flight stabilization systems.
Mechanically the servo follows the form factor of popular servos and thus is compatible with typical mounting brackets. However, the servo construction includes threaded mounting holes on the servo sides making it possible to omit any form of bracket in many installations. Easy and strong bulkhead or airframe member mounting is now possible.
The servo includes both a CAN interface as well as a multidrop RS232 interface (multiple servos on a single RS232 port). The servo protocol is to be released to the public.
