Integrated Drive Generators

Hi all,

Perhaps I was too generic with my last questions. FYI, I've since found that indeed the thread sizes are aviation specific under the NAS standard, and that the functional parts are not very suitable for other industries but may overlap with static power generation units (if anyone knows quite how much overlap then that would be appreciated!).

Focussing in further, I thought I'd take a look at the integrated drive generators as I caught wind that they cost up to 70k just to refurbish, so I'm hoping there is an industry out there begging for IDG components - being that one man's trash could be another man's treasure. If anyone has knowledge regarding the internals of an IDG or potentially any suggestions for reuse then I'd be very appreciative. Perhaps a component manual, if such a thing exists?

Kind regards,

Ben
