Shear Section In The Drive Shaft Gearbox Component???
Hi,
-Are the drive shaft of ALL gearbox components (like oil pump, fuel pump, EDP, IDG,...etc) fitted with a shear section?
If not what are the components that are not fitted with a shear section? I am wondering because I read that certain oil pumps are not fitted with a shear section.
-How often the gearbox or the tower shaft fails?
Is it possible that the splined drive (the splined item in the gearbox that drives the drive shaft of a gearbox component, I am not sure about the exact name of this technical word) fails and cannot drive an operative drive shaft of a gearbox component (like EDP, IDG,...). How often this happens?
Feedback appreciated. Thank you.
Best regards
