Version 16.10 AF-6600 AF-5000 Series Install Manual 43
Once a suitable mounting point for each servo has been determined, the next step is
to fabricate a mount for the servo to attach to the aircraft. Generally this will be a
bracket made of sheet metal or corner stock. Dynon recommends using 6061 T6
aluminum with a minimum thickness of 0.050” for the best balance of strength to
weight. When fabricating a mounting bracket, refer to the servo dimensions below. Be
sure to leave ample room for the arm and attached linkage to move through a
complete range of motion without interference.
In normal operation, autopilot servos can reach temperatures that can be very
uncomfortable to, and perhaps cause burns to unprotected skin. Thus, servos
should be mounted in an area, or in such a manner to prevent accidental skin
contact. If mounting the servo in an exposed area is necessary, a shroud should be
installed (that doesn’t restrict ventilation) that protects against accidental skin
contact with the servos.
Push-Pull Servo Dimensions
Use the following dimensions (in inches) for reference when planning and implementing your
installation.
