Description

The Integrated Drive System/Mono for MKS HV6130 servos is a beautifully engineered external bearing servo frame matched to a custom servo horn and supplied with a set of ultra-rigid pushrods for connecting the servo to flaps and ailerons. The Integrated Drive System/Mono is the latest design of Servorahmen IDS systems. It ensures an low drag slop free and mechanically sound servo to control surface connection.

An Integrated Drive System or IDS is a largely or completely internal linkage between the servo and control surface. It is different from a normal wire based linkage in using much stiffer components, resulting in a more rigidly connected control surface, with much less compliance. Also IDS linkages use much shorter servo arm and control surface horn lengths. This allows the linkage to be enclosed in the wing.

These frames and IDS linkages speed-up servo installation, keep the servo secure and rigidly mounted, and also allow easy removal for maintenance or replacement. The external bearing reduces side load at the servo output arm, reducing compliance and extending the life of the servo. The external bearing and the special rigid IDS pushrod reduces any free play, increasing the stiffness of the control surface, improving control and avoiding flutter problems.

The connection between the servo and control surface is made via a ready-made hard plastic pushrod, so no cutting or gluing is required, making for a quicker and more repeatable installation. 12 of these mono pushrods are supplied in each kit, varying in length between 48 mm and 81 mm, each approx 3 mm longer than the next. These new IDS sets are labelled "Mono" as the pushrod is a monolithic component, not an assembly of parts that can come apart.

Parts supplied in this Mono IDS set:
1 servo frame
1 control surface horn
1 ball bearing
12 plastic IDS pushrods - range between 48 mm and 81 mm length
4 servo arms of different lengths
2 servo mounting screws
4 steel bearing shafts (2 are spares)

Sold singly. Add one to the basket for mounting and connecting one servo. The previous type of IDS sets with pushrods made from an aluminium tube are discontinued and replaced by this new IDS/Mono design.

No official installation guide is available but Piere Rondel has posted this excellent Servorahmen IDS Installation Guide. Also this Horn Installation Drawing is very useful.

NICE

This is a great way to install servos! Much cleaner and more precise. More work to install but well worth the effort.

Review by: Evan

Excellent mail order service ! Generally well moulded parts with tight tolerances. Used these to replace an RDS setup that I was never really happy with. Took a little bit of effort but the IDS fitted in well. The selection of drive rod lengths is an excellent way to go. I had to relieve the sides of the servo end of thr drive rod to fit in the servo horn as it was a little tight. Otherwise great.

SR IDS for HV6130

First about servce: In a word, fantastic. UK to Cali in one week.

The product itself works well but installation directions are lacking. Hypeprflight has posted more info about how to do the installation than anyone else but there was still a lot I had to figure out for myself. I think once you have done a few, its not that hard but if you have never done one, there is alot of figure out.

I did a fair amount of hand work on the pin-holes to make it easier to get the pins in and out.
