    摘要: A roller component configured to engage with a toothed component such that when the roller component is engaged with the toothed component, rotational movement of one of the roller component and the toothed component drives linear movement along an actuation direction of the other one of the roller component and the toothed component. The roller component includes a support member and cantilevered first rollers, each of which has a mounted end connected to a first side of the support member such that each first roller is rotatable relative to the support member about a roller axis perpendicular to the actuation direction, and an unsupported end distal from the mounted end.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for reacting rotary actuator and control surface loads into a wing structure using reaction links. The apparatus incorporates a structural interface feature that can facilitate a change of the component(s) in the load loop, such as the path connecting a control surface to a fixed aircraft structure via a rotary actuator. In particular, the structural interface between the rotary actuator and the rear spar of a wing can be tuned for stiffness to achieve an optimized load path that reacts actuator and control surface loads back into the wing structure. An actuator integration objective can be met for any rotary actuator using an integration method which tolerates wing and/or hinge line deflection.

    摘要: A splined coupling comprises a radially inner shaft and a radially outer shaft having a cavity for receiving the inner shaft. First splines are provided on a radially outwardly facing surface of the inner shaft. Second splines are provided on a radially inwardly facing surface of the cavity of the outer shaft. The first splines are slidably engaged with the second splines. At least one biasing element, for example a diaphragm is arranged to act between the radially inner and radially outer shafts for locating the first splines in a desired axial position relative to the second splines and to provide a biasing force resisting the axial movement of the first splines relative to the second splines upon relative axial movement of the inner and outer shafts.

    摘要: A high-lift system on a wing of an aircraft is provided. The wing includes a right-hand and a left-hand wing half with movably held high-lift flaps and the right-hand and left-hand wing half are attached to an aircraft fuselage, thus forming a wing root. Each wing half in a region in close proximity to the wing root, includes a drive unit. In each case this drive unit is joined to a transmission shaft mechanically connected to the respective drive unit, which transmission shaft extends from the drive unit in the direction of the end of the respective wing half and is designed to mechanically move the high-lift flaps arranged in the respective wing half. By means of such an arrangement it is possible to do without deflection gear arrangements from a central drive unit to the individual wing halves.

    摘要: Disclosed is an actuator of an aircraft including at least one limit stop in which at least one of the bearing surfaces, named destructible bearing surface (19), has at least one destructible portion which is able to, and is arranged to, be irreversibly deformed under the effect of the co-operation by limit contact between the driving member bearing surface (19) and the driven member bearing surface (20), each destructible portion of each destructible bearing surface being mounted to be removable with respect to the stop so as to be able to be replaced. It relates to an aircraft including at least one actuator provided with such an actuator.
