Abstract:
The present invention relates to a torque-measurement device for a turbine engine shaft (1) including a proof body (7) capable of being mounted on the shaft, characterized in that the proof body (7) forms a mounting for at least one acoustic-wave strain gauge (20) and is magnetized such as to allow the torque to be measured by magnetostrictive effect. The invention also relates to a method for calibrating the torque-measurement system including a first step of calibrating said device, the device being mounted on a shaft but outside of the engine, by applying reference torques to the shaft with the device and by establishing a rule regarding the relationship between the strain measured by said strain gauge and the actual torque applied, a step of mounting the shaft with the device inside the turbine engine together with placement of the magnetostrictive measurement system, the calibration of the first step being optionally reset with the engine stopped, and a step of establishing a calibration rule regarding the relationship between the torque measured by magnetostrictive effect and the reference torque provided by the strain gauges.

Advantageously, the transmission device (23) comprises at least two radial arms (36) arranged symmetrically with respect to the actuator and connected, on the inside, to a translationally mobile part of the actuator and, on the outside, to a translationally movable rotary transmission ring (25) which is connected to the pivot pins (11) of the blades (6) by intermediate connecting mechanisms (26) that convert the translational movement of the rotary ring brought about by the actuator into a rotation of the blades of the propeller.
Abstract:
A hydraulic ram comprising a fixed support, a cylinder that is movable in translation relative to the support, a piston secured inside the cylinder delimiting two chambers with the cylinder and a device for supplying the chambers with hydraulic fluid upstream from the fixed support. The ram is characterized by the fact that the supply device comprises telescopic channels, each telescopic channel comprising two tubular elements sliding one into the other, a first tubular element being rigidly connected to the fixed support at one end and the second tubular element being rigidly connected to the cylinder at at least two points separated from each other along a generatrix of the cylinder. The invention is applicable to controlling the pitch of the blades of a turbine engine propeller.
