摘要:
A rotor blade assembly includes a rotor blade (20) and a rotatable flap portion (34) located along a span of the rotor blade (20). A linear actuator (46) located inside the rotor blade (20) is operably connected to the flap portion (34) to rotate the flap portion (34) about a flap axis (44) and is absent oil, grease or other fluid lubricant. A rotary-winged aircraft (10) includes an airframe (14) and a main rotor assembly (12) operably connected to the airframe (14). The main rotor assembly includes a plurality of rotor blade assemblies rotatable about a rotor assembly axis (22). At least one rotor blade assembly of the plurality of rotor blade assemblies includes a rotor blade (20) and a rotatable flap portion (34) located along a span of the rotor blade (20). A linear actuator (46) positioned inside the rotor blade (20) is operably connected to the flap portion (34) to rotate the flap portion (34) about a flap axis (44) and is absent oil, grease or other fluid lubricant.
摘要:
A roller bearing comprises inner and outer rings (20,30) defining a toroidal inner raceway rotatable about a bearing axis (A). A plurality of concave rolling elements (10) is arranged in a single row between the outer and inner rings (20,30). Each of the plurality of concave rolling elements (10) is a symmetrical cylindrical roller having circular ends, a roller axis passing through the centre of the circular ends, and a concave side profile (12) that extends continuously between the circular ends. The toroidal inner and outer raceways each have a convex race surface that continuously engages the concave side profile (12) between the circular ends of each concave rolling element (10) with a first radius and extends axially beyond the circular ends of each concave rolling element with a second radius that is less than the first radius.

A rotor blade assembly includes a rotor blade (20) and a movable trim tab (34) located along a span of the rotor blade (20). A linear positioner (46) is located inside the rotor blade (20) and operably connected to the trim tab (34) to move the trim tab (34) thereby reducing rotor blade vibration. A method for reducing vibration of a rotor assembly includes energizing a linear positioner (46) located inside a rotor blade (20) of the rotor assembly and moving an output piston (52) of the linear positioner (46). A trim tab (34) located at the rotor blade (20) is moved to a selected trim tab angle relative to the rotor blade (20) by the output piston (52), and the linear positioner (46) is deenergized thereby locking the trim tab (34) at the selected trim tab angle.
