APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MAINTAINING A TENSION IN A CABLE CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

A cable support apparatus for an aircraft cable control system comprises at least one cable support unit (20). The cable support unit comprises a pulley (21) adapted to carry a cable (11) of the aircraft cable control system; a support link (22) with a first joint (23) between the pulley and the support link and a second joint (24) between the support link and the structure (10) of the aircraft; a compensation link (30) connected with the structure of the aircraft. The a thermal expansion of the compensation link causes a displacement of the support link. An aircraft and a method for maintaining a tension of a cable of a cable control system of an aircraft are also provided.
