Abstract:
A test apparatus is provided for testing a sensorless check device of an actuator. The sensorless check device is arranged to be used by mechanically moving a check device pin from a resting position to an actuation position and then releasing the check device pin to allow it to return to a resting position urged by an elastic return mechanism. The test apparatus comprises: a piston for contact with an actuator surface associated with the check device pin; a piston spring for urging the piston toward the actuator surface, wherein the piston spring is softer than the elastic return mechanism of the check device; and an adjustment and testing mechanism.

Claim (Index 12):
A system for checking a flight actuator, wherein the flight actuator comprises a sensorless check device, wherein the system comprises the sensorless check device and a testing apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , and wherein the sensorless check device is a check device for a flight actuator primary load path failure detection device of the type that disconnects a position sensor from the primary load path in the event of a primary load path failure, the check device comprising: a mechanical linkage for simulating disconnection of the position sensor by permitting relative movement of at least first and second mechanical parts of the actuator that are unable to move relative to one another in normal use without failure of the primary load path, wherein these first and second mechanical parts include a first mechanical part with movement detected by the position sensor of the primary load path failure detection device.
