- Description
- Requirement is for overhaul of reparable, B-1B Load Arrestors NSN 1680-01-181-4175MH (PN 1171-3). Description of Reparable Item: The item is designed to permit normal seat adjustment movements and rapid retraction of the B-1B seat carriage prior to ejection. Under high load conditions, which tend to tilt the seat carriage forward, the load arrestor will lock and become a rigid structural member supporting the top of the seat carriage. It will also act as a support member preventing backward tilt of the seat carriage under wind loading conditions during seat ejections. The arrestor consists of a self-contained hydraulic cylinder assembly, an internal piston and check valve designed to permit fluid flow past a piston at movement rates of 1 inch/sec in either direction (normal seat adjustment) and in retraction mode at a rate of 72 in/sec. The load arrestors must be overhauled when they leak fluid. Type of Contract: one-year, FFP requirements contract with three, one-year options. Item was designed by Goodrich to meet Rockwell specification L190C2024. Drawings are proprietary to Goodrich. The Government has no data or test equipment for overhaul, or repair, of this item. No GFP; No CAP. BEQ is 60 ea/year. Contract will provide for G009 reporting with work requirements IAW Statement of Objectives.
