Description
The 70106-08006-044 Tail Rotor Control Rod is a precision?built flight?control linkage used on Sikorsky H?60 and S?70 series helicopters. This component transmits mechanical 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. Constructed from high?strength alloys with corrosion?resistant rod ends and spherical bearings, it is engineered 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.
