Power Transfer Unit (PTU) Aircraft Hydraulic System


Share :

The PTU is able to transfer power but not fluid. It transfers power between two hydraulic systems. Different types of PTUs are in use; some can only transfer power in one direction while others can transfer power both ways. Some PTUs have a fixed displacement, while others use a variable displacement hydraulic pump. The two units, hydraulic pump and hydraulic motor, are connected via a single drive shaft so that power can be transferred between the two systems. Depending on the direction of power transfer, each unit in turn works either as a motor or a pump.
