Abstract:
A gearbox assembly comprising a plurality of component parts in torque transmission connection via gear, shaft and/or housing components; the assembly further comprising means for providing redundancy at selected locations where failure can lead to loss of torque transmission between component parts of the assembly.
Abstract:
A device for opening or closing an aircraft door includes an electric motor; a connector to connect the motor, and a driver. The driver includes a screw and nut system having a screw rotationally driven by the motor. The driver is configured to drive continuously and in sequence the connector with the door in a translational movement along one preset direction and then in rotational movement.

Abstract:
A device according to the present invention comprises: a tubular body (2) and a first attachment means (6), a piston (30) provided with a rod (12) connected to a second attachment means (10), the piston (30) sliding inside the tubular body (2) and defining inside said body a working chamber filled with hydraulic fluid, an accumulator comprising a rigid shell (20) inside of which a separation means (40) is located, defining a compensation chamber (42) that is filled with hydraulic fluid and is in communication with the working chamber, and a chamber (47) filled with pressurized gas, the rigid shell (20) being a metal shell produced by means of welded assembly and the accumulator being made such as to obtain an entirely welded enclosure (47) containing the gas.
Abstract:
An aircraft door actuator, including: a pneumatic cylinder for the opening of the door including a chamber into which a pressurized gas is injected via a first port, means for supplying the chamber of the cylinder with pressurized gas, via a supply pipe and said first port, means for setting the chamber to atmospheric pressure when the piston is in the position for opening the door, so as to allow said door to be moved into the closing position, including: a pressurized gas exhaust pipe a gate-valve means for guiding the opening of the gate-valve via the pressurized fluid located in the chamber when the door is in the opening position, so as to open the exhaust pipe in order to set said chamber of the cylinder to atmospheric pressure in a rapid manner once the door is open.
Abstract:
A device and a control method are described for a swinging aircraft door (3), mobile around a swinging axis (21) substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft via a motorized mechanism and having integrated boarding stairs (31). The method includes the capture of electromagnetic or ultrasonic radiation using at least one sensor (401, 501); the detection of something on the stairs on the basis of captured electromagnetic or ultrasonic radiation, in order to deduce therefrom whether a detection condition is satisfied or not; and, driving of the motorized mechanism in order to control the closure of the door in response to a closure command except in case of detection of something on the stairway.
Abstract:
This device comprises: a pneumatic cylinder (34), a gas generator (36), a chamber (6, 8) for atmospheric venting, with: an inlet with a connection to the gas generator (36), a first outlet, a second outlet, a valve (16) having a first side (24) and a second side (26) which can change position under the effect of a gas generated by the gas generator and comprising a passage (22) between the two sides (24, 26) obstructed by means which are clearable based on the pressure, where said shuttle-valve (16) is mobile between: a first position allowing connection to the first outlet and the second outlet and isolating the inlet from the first outlet and the second outlet; and a second position allowing connection of the inlet with the first outlet and isolating the second outlet from the inlet and the first outlet.
Abstract:
This device comprises:an electric motor (4),means for connection with the door, andmeans for driving comprising a screw/nut system with a screw (12) rotationally driven by the motor (4) where said drive means are suited for driving continuously and in sequence the means for connection with the door in a translational movement along . one preset direction and then in rotational movement.
Abstract:
An aircraft hatch emergency opening actuator, includes, a cylinder connected to the hatch at one end to a reference frame at the other end to which the hatch is connected, fluid means feeding the cylinder for emergency opening of the hatch, means for injection of the fluid means at a point of a fluid circuit feeding the cylinder for emergency opening of the hatch, said injection means configured to adopt: a rest position, in which the fluid means are isolated from the cylinder, and an active position, in which the fluid means are injected at the point of the fluid circuit, means for delaying the injection of the fluid means into the cylinder including a mobile element in the fluid circuit, delaying opening of the circuit when the injection means are in the active position, the injection delay being determined by a time of movement of the mobile element.
