Engine maintenance tool 98D27403003003

The 98D27403003003 FIXTURE STRUT THSA Bracket is an OEM-specified Airbus maintenance tool. Designed to work as part of the broader horizontal stabilizer fixture suite, this specialized support bracket provides the critical mating interface between the aircraft's empennage structure and the primary load-bearing fixture strut during heavy flight control maintenance. Precision Positioning & Structural Protection When an Airbus Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer Actuator (THSA) is disconnected for servicing, the massive horizontal tail must be mechanically immobilized. While the primary strut handles the raw weight, the 98D27403003003 bracket ensures that this immense load is safely distributed across the airframe's approved hardpoints. By providing exact geometric positioning, it prevents the main strut from slipping or inducing localized stress fractures into the composite or aluminum structural lugs. This meticulous load transfer is essential for protecting the structural integrity of the aircraft and ensuring the absolute safety of the technicians working in the tail section. Key Features & Benefits • Airbus OEM Specification: Engineered to the exact tolerances required for Airbus fly-by-wire aircraft THSA maintenance procedures. • Secure Load Transfer: Acts as the vital interface that disperses the horizontal stabilizer's static weight safely into the supporting fixture strut. • Pinpoint Positioning: Ensures the tail section is locked at the exact aerodynamic angle required for accurate flight control rigging and actuator mating.
