    摘要: An actuator includes a housing and a piston including an axis. The piston and housing are configured to move relative to each other along the axis. The housing comprises at least one chamber for holding a fluid, the piston being positioned partially within the chamber. A seal configured to isolate the fluid in the chamber is positioned between the piston and the housing. The seal includes a seal body and an energiser. At least one pressure relief conduit is located between the energiser and the chamber. The pressure relief conduit configured to relieve fluid pressure built up in a region between the energiser and the chamber.

    摘要: A stability and control augmentation system (SCAS) actuator is operable for actuating a flight control surface of an aircraft. The SCAS actuator includes an actuator housing having a first aperture, a second aperture and a hydraulic chamber therebetween. A piston extends through the actuator housing. Fluid inlets are in fluid communication with regions of the hydraulic chamber. A first end portion of the piston is arranged to slide through the first aperture without a seal between the first end portion and the first aperture. A second end portion of the piston is arranged to slide through the second aperture without a seal between the second end portion and the second aperture. An intermediate portion of the piston is arranged to slide in the hydraulic chamber without a seal between the intermediate portion and the hydraulic chamber.

    摘要: A bearing assembly includes a housing, a spherical bearing located within the housing, and two outer races positioned between the spherical bearing and the housing. The outer races are configured in sliding engagement with the spherical bearing to allow the spherical bearing to rotate relative to the housing. The assembly also includes a tightening element configured to engage a first of the two outer races and tighten the outer races against the spherical bearing. The assembly is configured to provide a primary load path from the tightening element to the housing, wherein the primary load path leads from the tightening element to the housing via the outer races whilst bypassing the spherical bearing.

    摘要: A SCAS module includes one or more SCAS actuators wherein each SCAS actuator comprises a piston arranged for linear motion within a hydraulic chamber in response to a flow of hydraulic fluid metered by a valve. The piston comprises a flexible rod or quill for providing a linear output along the first axis, the flexible rod or quill being mounted internally within an annular portion of the piston so that a space is defined around the flexible rod or quill. The flexible rod or quill is capable of deforming into the surrounding space in order to accommodate movement of the flexible rod or quill.

    摘要: A bearing assembly includes a housing, an annular outer race located at least partially within the housing, a bearing located at least partially within the outer race, and a nut configured to be secured to a second axial end of the outer race. The outer race has a central axis and comprises a flange at a first axial end, wherein the flange is configured to prevent movement of the outer race relative to the housing in a first axial direction. The nut is configured to prevent movement of the outer race relative to the housing in a second axial direction, the second axial direction being opposite to the first axial direction.

    摘要: There is provided a damper assembly for a helicopter rotor. The damper assembly comprises a piston movable along an axis, a piston shaft connected to and axially movable with the piston along the axis, and a bushing configured to surround the piston shaft and guide the piston shaft for movement along the axis. The bushing comprises a surface configured to oppose the piston shaft and guide the piston shaft for movement along the axis. The piston shaft comprises a surface configured to oppose the surface of the bushing. A clearance is provided between the surface of the piston shaft and the surface of the bushing so as to provide a passage for fluid to flow between the bushing and the piston shaft in use.
