FAQs

Getting to Know Engine StandThe AGSE Engine Stand PW4000-100 represents a pinnacle of aviation ground support equipment, specifically engineered for the safe handling and transportation of Pratt & Whitney’s PW4000-100 series engines. This robust stand combines superior engineering with practical functionality, featuring a modular design with a detachable cradle (AM-2700) and base (AM-2701). The stand’s versatile configuration accommodates various engine models within the PW4000 family, making it an invaluable asset for maintenance facilities and airlines.

Features and Applications Engine StandThis premium engine stand excels in both stationary support and transportation scenarios. Its innovative design incorporates shock-absorbing mechanisms through integrated mounts and retractable casters, ensuring optimal protection during engine handling. The stand features high-capacity polyurethane wheels (5″ x 10″) rated at 5,000 lbs per caster, complete with braking systems and swivel locks for secure positioning. For enhanced durability, the structure is protected by Skydrol-resistant enamel paint and includes corrosion-resistant hardware throughout.

Technical Specifications Engine StandThe stand’s adaptable design accommodates different PW4000-100 series engine variants with precise dimensional configurations. When configured for PW4164/PW4168 engines, it maintains a centerline height of 64.5 inches (164 cm), while the PW4168A setup positions at 64.75 inches (164 cm). The structure incorporates forklift accessibility from both sides and features strategic tie-down points for secure transportation. A convenient document storage compartment is integrated into the design, ensuring important paperwork stays with the equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical lead time for gas turbine overhaul services?

The lead time for gas turbine overhaul services ranges from 6 to 14 weeks, depending on the damage assessment, parts availability, and whether hot-section repairs are required. Expedited options may reduce this by 30%.
Do you provide customizations for legacy turbine control systems?

Yes, we retrofit legacy systems (e.g., GE Frame 5, Siemens V94.2) with modern digital controllers, typically completing hardware integration within 4-8 weeks. Software migration requires additional validation time.
How often should industrial gas turbines undergo performance testing?

We recommend annual performance testing under ISO 3977-2 standards. Critical applications (e.g., offshore platforms) may require semi-annual tests with emissions compliance checks.
Are your radiation-hardened (rad-hard) semiconductors compliant with MIL-PRF-38535?

All rad-hard devices (e.g., FPGA, ADC) are QML Class V certified under MIL-PRF-38535 and tested to MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 for SEU tolerance. Full qualification reports are available upon request.
What temperature ranges do your military-grade ICs support?

Our ASICs and power management ICs operate across -55°C to +175°C ambient temperatures, with derating curves provided in military temperature range (MTR) datasheets.
Are PMA parts interchangeable with OEM components?

Our PMA parts (e.g., actuators, sensors) hold FAA/EASA Form 1 certification and match OEM form/fit/function. Installation requires SB/MB documentation per FAA AC 23.1529.
What traceability standards do you follow for aircraft fasteners?

All NAS/MS fasteners include full DNA traceability: melt source (AMS 2301), heat/lot numbers, and AS9100-compliant MTRs with ultrasonic test reports.
How do you handle urgent AOG (Aircraft on Ground) requests?

AOG orders ship within 4 hours for stocked items (FAA-PMA, EASA Part 21G). Non-stock critical parts trigger priority manufacturing with 72-hour max turnaround.
