R -- RAST TRAVERSE AND TAIL GUIDE WINCH PUMPS SOL N68335-96-RFI-621 DUE 101096 POC Ms. Darla Kelly Code 2330, (908) 32307437. Buyer/Contracting Officer is J. Fackenthal. The Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division, Lakehurst, NJ is seeking potential sources, industry comments, product information, or proposed ideas for Traverse and Tail Guide Winch (TGW) pumps. The requirements for the Pumps are as follows: the Continuous Motor Speed shall be 1800 rpm; the Continuous Operating Pressure Range shall be between 3000-3200 rpms. The minimum Gallons per Minute (GPM) capability to be provided by the Pumps during the following operational phases is: ''Slow Traverse''-powered by Traverse Pump only. ''Fast Traverse''-powered by both Traverse and TGW Pumps. ''Tail Guiding''- powered by TGW Pump only. The theoretical GPM capabilities at 100% volumetric efficiency for the Traverse Pump is 3.8-4.9 for Slow Traverse, 9.0-10.0 for Fast Traverse and 0 for Tail Guide. The theoretical GPM capabilities at 100% volumetric efficiency for the TWG Pump is 0 for Slow Traverse, 4.5-5.5 for Fast Traverse and 4.5.-5.5 for Tail Guide. The actial volumetric efficiency at 3000 psi and 1800 rpm should be 91% or higher. The Enviromental Temperature range shall be 0-50 deg. C. The Hydraulic Fluid shall be MIL-H-17627 Military symbol 2075 TH. The Viscosity shall equal 28.8-32.2 centistokes at 40 degrees C (104 F). The contamination shall equal NAS 1638 Class 10 or better. Hydraulic Fluid temperature operating range shall be 126 deg. F to 150 deg. F. Case coolant flow is available at 150 psi. Supply Boost Pressure equals 150 psi. Mounting dimensions shall be SAE J744. The direction of rotation shall be C.C.W. locking on drive shaft. Swashplate control: Traverse Pump requires a two speed control. General space constraints are 24'' wide by 24'' high by 15'' long. The written specs for the motor shaft location may be obtained by request. Respondents to this Request for Information are invited to submit a statement of general interest, a discussion of the feasability of the above described modifications, or a statement of the capabilities to develop an item with such modifications. This synopsis is not a Request for Proposal and does not commit the Government to make an award of a contract. Any information submitted may or may not be included in any future procurement. The Government will not pay for any information that is received in response to this request, nor will the Government compensate any respondents for any costs incurred or associated with the development of any information provided.
