MAGNETIC BRAKE - CYCLIC CONTROLS

A magnetic brake assembly is installed in both the fore-and-aft and lateral cyclic control system. Each brake assembly is secured to the airframe structure. It consists of a rotary shaft which can be mechanically actuated and an electrically actuated magnetic brake that will hold the rotary shaft at any point in it's travel when actuated by a switch on the cyclic stick.

Magnetic Brake - Tail Rotor Controls

A magnetic brake and force gradient assembly are connected to the linkage for force trim and control centering functions. The brake is secured on the right main beam, and has an arm on it's rotary shaft which can be braked and held at any point of travel by use of a switch on the cyclic control stick.
