- Description
- The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Radar Product Division, (RPD), has a requirement for 51 each of a Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) Elevation Drive Bearing Enhancement. The device must perform both as a bearing, with certain specifications relating to that function, and also as a bull gear, which has its own unique specification requirements. The fabrication processes applied to the two parts of the bearing need to be complimentary and comopatible in order for both the bearing and the bull gear requirements to be met satisfactorily. Titan Systems Corporation, Datron Advanced Technologies Division, located in Simi Valley, CA, is the manufacturer of the TDWR pedestal, including the antenna mounting yokes, the elevation housing, and the elevation bearings that connect those assemblies together. Titan Datron built the gearboxes, antenna mounting yoke, and the elevation housing, and it alone possesses the drawing that fully specify these interfaces with the elevation bearings, e.g., the torque load and the flatness of the machined mounting surfaces. Titan Datron conformance with the constraints caused by form, fit, and function requirements of the drive bearing is paramount to the ability of the bearing to perform its required bearing and bull gear functions for 20 years, which is its specified life. Titan Systems Corporation, Datron Advanced Technologies Division is the only known source since they are the manufacturer of the gearboxes manufactured to their drawings and specifications. The specification drawing includes requirements for testing, inspection, quality control, and certification of materials for the TDWR's elevation drive bearings. These elements are critical to achieving the high American Gear Manufacturer's Association quality code that will be required of the new gears. That quality code compliance, along with surface smoothness as specified in the Titan Datron drawing are the key improvements of this specification set that will contribute to longer gear life.
