An adjustment tool is disclosed herein. For example, an adjustment tool is provided comprising an input gear having gear teeth and an output gear having gear teeth, wherein the input gear and the output gear are in meshed engagement, an input shaft centrally coupled to the input gear, wherein the input gear is configured to rotate about the input shaft, and a housing supporting the input shaft for rotation and supporting a fastener, wherein a tooth of the output gear protrudes from the housing.

Eccentric tool

A bogie articulation mechanism is provided comprising, for example, a first torque link and a second torque link coupled for rotation about a pivot joint, the first torque link coupled to a bogie beam, a pitch trimmer having a first terminus and a second terminus, the first terminus coupled to the pivot joint, a bell crank having a pivot point, a first coupling point and a second coupling point, first coupling point couple to the second terminus of the pitch trimmer, and a reaction link coupled to the second coupling point of the bell crank.

Bogie beam articulation mechanism

A bogie beam sensor may include a bracket and a target arm pivotably coupled to the bracket. The bracket may be coupled to a bogie beam. A sensor may be coupled to the bracket, and a target may be coupled to the target arm. A drive link may be coupled to the target arm and a piston. In response to the bogie beam pivoting with respect to the piston, the drive link may cause the target arm to rotate with respect to the bogie beam. The sensor may detect movement of the target on the target arm, and an angular position of the bogie beam may be determined based on the position of the target.

Bogie beam angle sensor

A rocking bogie mechanism may include an upper link, a lower link, a central link, a forward link, an articulation actuator, a trimmer, and a bell crank. The upper link may be coupled to a cylinder at a first joint. The lower link and trimmer may be coupled to the piston at second joint. The upper link, lower link, and central link may be coupled at a third joint. The articulation actuator may be coupled to the upper link at a fourth joint. The trimmer and bell crank may be coupled at a fifth joint. The central link and bell crank may be coupled at a sixth joint. The articulation actuator and bell crank may be coupled at a seventh joint. The central link and forward link may be coupled at an eighth joint. The forward link may be coupled to a bogie beam at a ninth joint.
