Thrust reverser system power drive unit with dual sequential torque decoupler and method

摘要

A thrust reverser system that includes one or more power drive units operable to supply a drive force. The power drive unit includes a motor and at least two output sections, each operably coupled to transmit the drive force to the thrust reverser movable components. Each of the output sections is operable to decouple the motor from associated thrust reverser movable components upon a torque magnitude being reached in the output section. A deadband coupler is provided to couple the first and second output sections together a time period after the torque magnitude is reached in one of the output sections.
