Moog FCS Offers Advanced Force Control Technology for Aircraft Structural Testing

Moog FCS is a recent addition to Moog, following the acquisition of FCS Control Systems by Moog in 2005. Originally formed from a division of the Fokker Aircraft Company, Moog FCS has a long history of providing hydromechanical and electromechanical control systems. The control technology was developed to provide high fidelity loading to flight control systems used in aircraft flight simulation applications. This flight control loading capability was soon developed and adapted for use in new applications such as full-scale static load and durability testing of aircraft structures, testing for product development in the automotive industry and even in haptic devices which are small robots designed to present to a human user the feeling of actually touching a virtual or remote world.

Aircraft structural testing is a demanding control application, as it requires the introduction of accurately controlled forces derived from hydraulic actuators, synchronously applied by up to two hundred actuators at a time. Hence, Moog FCS moved from “control loading” to “load control” applications.
