    摘要: The invention relates to a braking device (1) of an aircraft wheel, comprising a ring (15) which has a plurality of cavities (17) in which actuators (18) are fitted in order to apply a braking force to a stack of discs (11) which extend opposite the ring. The ring is provided with a heat shield (25) which extends opposite a face of the ring directed towards the stack of discs in order to protect the ring from thermal radiation which is generated by the stack of discs.
    According to the disclosure, the heat shield is provided with holes (26) through which the actuators extend and which have a sectional profile which is formed to reflect the thermal radiation away from the device.

    摘要: An aircraft wheel (1) comprising a hub connected to a rim (3) provided with a tire (100), the hub having an outer surface that extends facing an inner surface (4) of the rim (3) and that co-operates therewith to define an annular space for receiving a stack of brake disks including rotor disks having axial peripheral notches, each notch receiving a segment of an axial bar (10) extending projecting from the inner surface (4) of the rim (3), and respective heat shields (20), each in the form of an annular segment, being mounted between the two bars (10) of respective pairs of adjacent bars. Each heat shield (20) includes at least one holder portion bearing against at least one first abutment (19, 119) secured to the rim (3) in order to hold the heat shield (20) in position on the rim (3) elastically.

    摘要: An aircraft landing gear bogie beam including first and second ends and a mounting bearing for connection to an aircraft landing gear main strut between the ends. Each end has a respective axle, and each axle defines a wheel mounting portion on each side of the bogie beam. The bogie beam is arranged to enable the first and second axles to each pivot relative to the bearing about a respective longitudinal axis of the bogie beam by an amount that is sufficient to place a wheel rim of a wheel assembly in contact with the ground in the event of a tyre of the wheel assembly deflating.

    摘要: A landing gear system includes a drive shaft extending through an axle. A wheel with a drive surface is rotatably coupled to the axle. A drive assembly, which has disengaged and engaged states, includes a drive element and an idler element. The drive element, which has an engagement feature, is coupled to the drive shaft for rotation about an axis. The engagement feature has first and second diameters when the drive assembly is in the disengaged and engaged states, respectively. The idler element is frictionally engaged with the engagement feature of the drive element to transfer rotation of the drive element to the wheel when the drive assembly is in the engaged state. The idler element is disengaged from at least one of the engagement feature of drive element and the wheel when the drive assembly is in the disengaged state.

    摘要: A center biased actuator having an outer cylinder, a slave cylinder linearly transposed within the outer cylinder, a rod assembly with a piston linearly transposed within the slave cylinder and a rod extending from the outer cylinder, one or more first dynamic seals arranged to act on a sidewall of the rod to inhibit hydraulic fluid leaking from the outer cylinder, one or more second dynamic seals arranged to act on a sidewall of the slave cylinder or an inner surface of the outer cylinder to inhibit hydraulic fluid leaking from the outer cylinder, and a gas chamber comprising a sealed expandable chamber containing gas. The expandable chamber is arranged to act on hydraulic fluid within the center biased actuator to bias the center biased actuator to assume an intermediate condition which lies between a compressed condition and an extended condition.

    摘要: The invention provides a locking device for preventing movement between two elements (11, 12) that are mounted to move relative to each other, the locking device including a lock (31) mounted to rotate relative to one of the elements in order to present successive angular positions for locking and for release in which the lock alternates between preventing and allowing relative movement between the two elements, the lock being constrained to rotate with a selector (55) of an angular indexing mechanism (50) actuated by a pulse-controlled actuator (70, 71) arranged to push the selector against a spring member (58) in order to cause it to turn on each pulse and thereby cause the lock to pass from one angular position to the other.

    摘要: A structural component, or parts thereof, for a machine system or vehicle, such as an aircraft, is provided. In some examples, the structural component includes at least one embedded passageway or line. In other examples, the passageway or line is formed integrally on the exterior surface of the structural component. In some of these examples, the structural component can benefit from additive manufacturing techniques or methodologies.

    摘要: A control method of an electrical braking system for aircraft includes a plurality of electromechanical actuators capable of applying a braking force on friction members. Each electromechanical actuator includes an electric motor equipped with one or more windings. The braking system further includes at least one power module configured to send to each electric motor winding a phase current and at least one control module configured to control, in response to a braking setpoint, the sending by the power module of a setpoint phase current determined depending on the braking force to be applied. The method further includes the variation of the phase current transmitted to each winding of the electric motor so as to cause the phase current to oscillate around the setpoint phase current.

    摘要: An aircraft landing gear assembly having a reinstating geometry in which a lock link can be moved to assume a first locking condition to inhibit movement of a stay when a main strut is in a deployed condition and a second locking condition to inhibit movement of the main strut when in a stowed condition. An unlock actuator is coupled between a first element of the stay and the lock link such that the actuator can break the lock link from the first locking condition and force it to assume the second locking condition by operational force in a single direction.
