MODULAR ACTUATOR WITH SNUBBING ARRANGEMENT

摘要

Described is a modular linear actuator for use in an aerospace application, comprising: a piston housing having a closed end and an open end; a piston rod slideable within an interior of the piston housing between an extended position and a compressed position, the piston rod having a first end proximal to the closed end of the piston housing and a second end distal to the closed end of the piston housing; an attachment mechanism for removably attaching a lug end to the closed end of the piston housing, the lug end for attaching the actuator to a first component; an attachment mechanism for removably attaching a rod end to the second end of the piston rod, the rod end for attaching the piston rod to a second component; and, a piston head removably attached to the first end of the piston rod, the piston head for providing a snubbing engagement with the closed end of the piston housing.
