S-2 Servo Specifications

The Navaid servo actuator is fast, fast enough to operate in turbulence and help smooth out the ride.  This is made possible by the use of position feedback (in addition to the rate feedback used in most autopilots) in the servo amplifier.   Position feedback also makes it easier to adjust the servo response to that of the aircraft.

The S-2 has about the same torque (30 in-lb) as a comparable type-accepted servo.   The pilot can override the servo at any time.  An adjustable slip clutch is set to limit the maximum output torque as desired.

When the autopilot is disengaged, the servo becomes free wheeling.  Removing electrical power causes a solenoid to release, decoupling the gear train.

S-2 CRANK

The crank arm version with a pushrod has become virtually "the" way to attach the servo to the ailerons. 

S-2 CAPSTAN

An aircraft having control cables linking the stick to the ailerons will need a capstan drive.
