APC

Starter Generators

Aircraft Parts Corporation , has been supplying the aircraft industry with starter-generators for fixed-wing and helicopters, used in corporate/business, commuter, military, law enforcement and special mission markets, since 1961. Our product line has continuously evolved as the industry transitioned from piston to turbine engines. We were not left at the gate as the aircraft industry swung from analog to digital. Our full range of products, cover the entire DC power distribution system within an aircraft.

Many years ago, APC coined the phrase, “long life brush”. These long life brushes not only increased the brush life of APC starter-generators, they also extended the brush life of other manufacturers starter-generators. The “XL” series of APC starter-generators when first introduced, extended no-touch TBO’s, to greater than 1000 hours for some aircraft installations, and many in the industry are still trying to catch up! Today, with the introduction of our new XL2 brush system, our “XL” series of starter-generators are approaching a no-touch TBO of up to 2000 hours on some aircraft. See for yourself why only an APC generator is made to meet today’s aircrafts unyielding demands.

Generator Control Units

Complimenting our line high performance starter-generators , our Generator Control Units (G.C.U.), consistently outperform the industry standards. The Generator Control Unit incorporates all the normal control and protective functions required for a single or multi-engine powered aircrafts 28 V DC electrical power system. The control units use solid state components mounted on printed circuit boards. The boards utilize special solder pins which also serve as connector pins for ease in testing. The generator control units are compact and lightweight and have been designed to operate with APC 28 V D.C. starter-generators and other compatible machines designed to the requirements of MIL-G-6162. Each APC model number reflects the individual calibration and features required for each application. These requirements will be determined by the engine, installation and a customers’ specific needs.

Aircraft Parts Corp. was the first to introduce the patented “torque-limiting” system that reduces the wear of engine components. Unlike other G.C.U’s we have models that incorporate special functions requested by aircraft manufacturers to control other systems within the aircraft, saving them the cost and weight of separate control components.
