N110
Electric (modern)
Moog rotary loaders and Brunner CLS-E brushless servo drives with integrated electronics. Programmable force profiles on yoke, rudder, and throttle.
Independent third-party repair of the hardware behind simulator control feel: Moog rotary loaders and Brunner CLS-E electric drives on yoke, rudder, and throttle force-feedback loops, plus legacy hydraulic servo valves on older training systems.
N100 Where these valves sit
Below are the four control-loading architectures and the servo drives or servo valves that come off them for rebuild.
N110
Moog rotary loaders and Brunner CLS-E brushless servo drives with integrated electronics. Programmable force profiles on yoke, rudder, and throttle.
N120
Moog and Parker D1FP servo valves driving hydraulic actuators on older simulators. Common on platforms built before 2010.
N130
Mixed architectures with electric yoke and hydraulic rudder, or vice versa, often after partial retrofit work on aging simulators.
N140
Parker and Kollmorgen drives in custom integrations and university trainers. Specialty force-feedback rigs on research and engineering simulators.
N200 What NC Servo does
Same shop, two technologies. Electric drives and hydraulic servo valves both come through the bench. Component-level rebuild and verification on the same hydraulic and electronic stands.
N210
Power stage, gate driver, DC bus capacitor, and IGBT replacement on Moog rotary loaders and Brunner CLS-E drives.
N220
Bearings, encoders, and winding repair on the brushless servo units used in electric force-feedback systems.
N230
Spool, sleeve, pilot stage, and torque motor work on Moog, Parker, and Rexroth servo valves on legacy control loaders.
N240
Hydraulic test stands for valve verification and electronic test setups for drive and servo unit performance characterization.
N250
Stock is hit or miss, but legacy electric drives and discontinued hydraulic loaders show up often enough that we can pull from past jobs when we have a match. Ask about a specific part number.
N260
Hardware repair only. PLC programming, control-feel tuning, and simulator qualification stay with the customer or training-center integrator.

N400 Common faults
Control loading systems run continuously through every training session. Failures fall into four categories across the electric and hydraulic technologies seen at the bench. Recognize one? A part number is enough to start.
| Drive electronics | Failed IGBTs, blown DC bus capacitors, gate driver damage on electric loaders. Often follows a power-event or cooling-fan failure on the simulator cabinet. |
|---|---|
| Mechanical wear | Worn bearings on brushless servo units, encoder damage from wiring strain, and winding insulation faults after extended service. |
| Hydraulic servo valve | Spool wear, contamination scoring, pilot-stage null shift, and torque motor coil damage on legacy hydraulic loaders. |
| Connector and cabling | Damaged connectors at the pilot input, cable strain at the entry point, and contamination on the connector pins after years of cockpit-area service. |
N500 Workflow
Same four-step path through the shop whether the unit came off a CAE Type D simulator or a Brunner CLS-E retrofit on a regional trainer.
N510
Call or email with the part number, simulator make, and a photo of the nameplate if it helps.
N520
Tech inspects the drive or valve and runs it on the appropriate stand to confirm what failed.
N530
We call back with the cost and a rough turnaround. Nothing is started without your sign-off.
N540
Failed components replaced from inventory or off donors, the unit verified under load, and shipped back.
