70102-08200-050 Tail Rotor Pitch Control Rod – OEM Flight Control Linkage for Sikorsky H?60/S?70 Helicopters

Description

The 70102-08200-050 Tail Rotor Pitch Control Rod is a precision?engineered flight?control linkage used on Sikorsky H?60 and S?70 series helicopters. This component transfers pilot?commanded inputs from the tail rotor servo to the pitch change mechanism, enabling accurate adjustment of tail rotor blade pitch for yaw control and anti?torque stabilization. Built from high?strength alloys with corrosion?resistant rod ends and bearings, it is designed to withstand continuous cyclic loading, vibration, and tensile forces encountered during demanding helicopter operations. The assembly incorporates adjustable end fittings to ensure proper alignment, preload, and smooth control response throughout the aircraft’s flight envelope.
