Hartzell Engine Tech has received FAA parts manufacturer approval (PMA) for its PowerUP brand Bendix S-20 and S-200 direct replacement 4- and 6-cylinder magnetos.
The magnetos are used on both Lycoming and Continental engines and have application for Cirrus SR22 and SR22T airplanes, as well as Robinson R22 and R44 helicopters.
The magnetos include a number of product improvements, including contact assemblies with a stainless-steel mainspring with precision-aligned contacts, Torx drive screws in key locations, including ship-loose harness attaching screws, hex-and-slot timing and vent plugs for easier serviceability, and durable billet breaker covers for enhanced longevity, the company said.
The PowerUP direct replacement magnetos also offer pilots and aircraft owners an alternative not subject to other manufacturers’ service bulletins or airworthiness directives.
“Designed with performance improvements in key components like the coil, capacitor, breaker points, and impulse coupling, the PowerUP magneto delivers superior quality and reliability for aircraft owners,” Rick Quave, Hartzell Engine Tech vice president of engineering, said in a statement.
