Engine Mounted Gearboxes (EMADs)

Engine mounted accessory drives (EMADs) — Our EMADs are manufactured with care and precision, using SkyEdge Geared Solutions or customer designs to meet the engine manufacturers’ specifications. Low profile casings help minimize engine frontal area and facilitate engine installation. EMADs provide power for fuel pumps, alternators, and lubricant and scavenge pumps. SkyEdge Geared Solutions contributes to prototype EMAD design and manufacture, such as for the F119 and YF120 engines. SkyEdge Geared Solutions EMADs have also gone into service on many military and civilian engines.

AIRFRAME MOUNTED GEARBOXES (AMAD)

Airframe mounted accessory drives (AMADs) — Every TRIUMPH Geared Solutions accessory drive is built to the highest standards of precision and reliability. The AMAD provides power for the aircraft’s hydraulic pumps, auxiliary fuel pumps and electrical generators. It also provides engine starting capability by transmitting power from auxiliary power units. Our AMADs incorporate carburized and ground gearing and, if the specification requires, AGMA Class 14 standards. Each drive is designed for high power density to minimize weight. Special features such as self-pressurizing lubrication systems assure proper operation at all altitudes within a given flight envelope. The AMADs also contain a disconnect feature which allows ground crews to disconnect the unit for maintenance and performance of electronic and hydraulic systems checks without the engine running.
