B737 Gear lever

[Steve A]

I just copied this design today and i'm well pleased with the result, Thanks a million Gwyn. Got my first annunciators working on the mip too as i wired a battery circuit into the gear up/down led's and connected them to the micro switches.

Now all i need is the gear knob to crown it all. (its in the post)

Hello,

Iam looking for some measures for the 737 Gear leveler. Can someone post his measurements, that would be nice.
Thanks,

Any particular dimensions you need? Or all of them!

Hello Sean,

i need all of them. I have only pictures from the Opencockpits Gear leveler, it seems to as hard to built it on my own.
Thanks,
Markus

Hi Markus

It's not the easiest thing to measure, but here goes:

Diameter of wheel = 36mm
Thickness of wheel = 14mm

Length of thicker shaft attached to wheel = 27mm (from where it leaves the thinner shaft to the point it touches the circumference of the wheel.
Diameter of thicker shaft = 22mm

Length of main (thinner) shaft = 55mm from when it protrudes the MIP (68mm total length)
Diameter of main shaft = 20mm

Trigger is 22mm deep and is 30mm from MIP

If I've missed any, let me know.

Sean,
are this the measurements from OC gear leveler?
if not, can you attach some please.
Thanks,
Markus

I do not need them all. These are just pictures Open cockpits Gear Leveller, it seems so hard to build yourself.

Aerosim will soon be supplying B737 gear lever handles aswell as full sets of B737 and B777 TQ handles. I already have the B777 Pitch & Trim molds completed and ready for sale, these are the first available anywhere I believe!

Can somebody supply a schematic drawing of the Engravity and/or OpenCockpits gear lever mechanics?

I've sofar all the materials and want to re-design my existing lever and replace it with the improved one. After redesign i can share the drawings here.

Thanks in advance,
