ACS CONTROLS

The ACS line of controls was manufactured by Aircraft Spruce and Specialty Company from 1980 to 1985. As of June, 1985 the controls have been manufactured by ACS Products Company in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. The manufacturing and inspection procedures have been approved by the FAA and original equipment manufacturers. The following engineering data will aid in properly identifying the control most suited to each individual requirement. Also shown are some available options for the controls such as plastic protective covering and steel sleeves for clamping the control to the aircraft structure. The ACS A-790 vernier control and the A-800 friction lock control have been approved by the FAA for installation in the Cessna 150, 152, & 172 series aircraft. PLASTIC COVERING ON CONTROL CASING All ACS controls can be supplied with a bIack Polyolefin (PO) protective cover. Price of the PO cover carries a base price of $3.00 plus the length of control in ft. multiplied by 1.50 for lengths to 10 ft. For lengths over 10 ft., use $3.00 base price plus $1.90/ft. for PO cover plus a $25 set-up fee. STEEL SLEEVES ON CONTROL CASING unswaged when specified. Add $7.50 for installation of sleeves on A730 & A740 controls. Cadmium plated 2" long steel sleeves can be added to the casing to provide clamping points for securing the control to the aircraft structure. Specify sleeve location (measurement taken from under the panel nut to mid-point of sleeve). Sleeves are normally swaged to the casing but will be left Price/Sleeve $4.00 THREADED STEEL SLEEVES ON CONTROL CASING Threaded steel sleeves (bulkhead fittings) can be added to the casing to provide secure clamping of the control where it passes through a bulkhead. The cadmium plated sleeves are 2" long, with 1-1/2" length of 7/16-20 threads. Specify sleeve location (measurement taken from under the panel nut to mid-point of sleeve). Sleeves are normally swaged to the casing but will be left unswaged when specified. Add $7.50 for installation of sleeves on A730 & A740 controls. HOW TO ORDER CONTROLS STOCK CONTROLS - All stock controls are identified by a part number as shown in the descriptions of the controls. To order a stock control, specify control type, knob color, length to nearest 1/8" (measured as described in text), and any added features such as PO cover on flexible casing or steel sleeves centered at specified distances from panel nut (lengths of stock controls are in whole-foot increments and only lengths listed are stocked). Include 7-digit part number as shown in text. SPECIAL-LENGTH CONTROLS - If you require a special-length control, specify control type, knob color, length to nearest 1/8" and any added features such as PO cover, etc. Special-length controls carry a set-up charge in addition to the cost of the control (calculated as described in the texts). CUSTOM CONTROLS - If you do not find the type of control you require in this catalog, send a detailed sketch with dimensions, or the old control as a sample, to Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co., 225 Airport Circle, Corona, CA 92880-2527 (1-800-824-1930). Custom controls are priced like similar stock controls but with a $35 set-up and engineering charge added, plus costs for any special parts which must be fabricated for the control.
