Abstract:
The invention relates to a latching box for selectively retaining a movable element such as an undercarriage or a hatch in position, the box comprising a body carrying: a hook pivotally mounted about a first pivot axis between an engaged position and a disengaged position relative to the movable element; a locking member pivotally mounted about a second pivot axis parallel to the first pivot axis to pivot between a position for blocking the hook in the engagement position and a release position for releasing the hook; and at least one cam actuator in which the cam co-operates operationally with the locking member to move it towards the release position. The cam of the actuator is a cylindrical cam mounted to rotate about an axis of rotation orthogonal to the first and second pivot axes.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an aircraft landing gear equipped with a steering device (7) for orienting the wheels (5), the steering device (7) comprising a body (8) in which is incorporated an electromechanical actuator (41) equipped with an electric motor (42). The landing gear is further equipped with damping means intended to limit the transmission of vibration from the wheel (5) to the rest of the landing gear (1) when the aircraft is on the ground. The body (8) of the steering device (7) is mounted with the ability to rotate with a limited amplitude of rotation. The damping means are mounted between the body (8) of the steering device (7) and the strut assembly (2) of the landing gear to damp the vibration between the body (8) of the steering device (7) and the strut assembly (2).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for maneuvering, on the ground, a door of an aircraft landing gear, the door being linked with door maneuvering means and uplock means for locking the door when it reaches the closed position, at least one unlocking electromechanical actuator arranged to act upon the uplock means with a view to deactivating them during opening of the door in flight. According to the invention, the device comprises control means 17 which can be operated by an operator on the ground in order to control at least: an opening sequence during which the unlocking electromechanical actuator is actuated in order to deactivate the uplock means, a closing sequence during which the maneuvering means are actuated in order to close the door again.
