    摘要: A landing gear actuation system is disclosed herein. The landing gear actuation system includes a trunnion sprocket (210) coupled to a movable member (206), a drive motor (212), and a flexible drive member (214) extending between and to the motor (212) and the trunnion sprocket (210). The motor (212) is configured to move the flexible drive member (214), wherein the movement of the flexible drive member (214) moves the trunnion sprocket (210) and the movable member (206). The flexible drive member (214) may be a belt or a chain.

    摘要: A damping actor selector may be configured to transition a multi-actor damping system from a first damping actor configuration to a second damping actor configuration. The multi-actor damping system may be used in a shock strut assembly to alter a damping curve of the shuck strut assembly. The damping actor selector (170) may be coupled to a metering pin (140) of a shock strut assembly. The damping actor selector may be configured to rotate the metering pin to transition the multi-actor damping system from a first damping actor configuration to a second damping actor configuration. The first damping actor configuration may correspond to a first damping curve. The second damping actor configuration may correspond to a second damping curve. The first damping curve being different than the second damping curve.

    摘要: A main orifice plate assembly may be configured to transition a multi-actor damping system from a first damping actor configuration to a second damping actor configuration. The multi-actor damping system may be used in a shock strut assembly to alter a damping curve of the shuck strut assembly. The main orifice plate assembly may be a part of a main orifice assembly including an orbital cam. The main orifice plate may include a flow restrictor (162). The flow restrictor may be configured to retract or deploy in response to main orifice plate rotating about the orbital cam. The first damping actor configuration may correspond to a first damping curve. The second damping actor configuration may correspond to a second damping curve. The first damping curve being different than the second damping curve.

    摘要: A helically shaped dynamic seal ring is provided. The helically shaped dynamic seal ring includes a spirally wound body (232) and a snubbing orifice area (702, 704) formed in the spirally wound body. The spirally wound body is configured to expand in response to contacting a snubbed stroke range of an actuator piston (204). The spirally wound body is configured to contract in response to distancing from the snubbed stroke range of the actuator piston.
