Electromechanical brake for aircraft, has actuator mounted on ring via ball joint that allows portion of actuator carrying pusher to tilt angularly

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# A ring (7) carries an electromechanical actuator (8) having a pusher (13) that is mounted to slide in axial direction (X) to apply a braking force selectively to a stack of disks. A ball joint (20) is interposed between the ring and the actuator, allows the actuator to tilt angularly so as to continue pushing against the disks in a direction perpendicular to the disks. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# For electromechanical brake with tiltable actuator for use in aircraft. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The freedom of the actuator to tilt angularly reduces the risk of a transverse force applied to the pusher. The pusher continues to push perpendicularly to the disks irrespective of the braking intensity and the amount of deformation suffered by the ring. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The figure shows a fragmentary view of the electromechanical brake. 7 : Ring 8 : Actuator 13 : Pusher 20 : Ball joint 22 : Spherical core.
