  • Patent number: 9109621
    Abstract: A connecting rod for an aeronautical actuator system, having one shaft transmitting forces applied in tension and/or compression along a longitudinal axis of the rod. When the connecting rod is in service, an elastically deformable element connected to the shaft is configured to react to the forces applied to the shaft, and displays elastic deformation when effected by these forces. The deformable element has a peripheral part rigidly connected to a member of the rod in which the shaft is slidably mounted. Measurement means associated with the deformable element determine the forces. The measurement means is partially housed in the deformable element. The deformable element includes a central part elongated along the longitudinal axis, which is rigidly connected to the shaft and in which the measurement means are at least partially housed. An intermediate part runs transversally to the central part and connects the central part and the peripheral part.

  • Patent number: 8601904
    Abstract: The invention relates to a force transmission unit (1), particularly enabling the transmission of forces between a lever and a steering member, including: —a force transmission device (8) comprising a shaft (81) defining a central axis (X-X), and—a force accompanying device (3) comprising: —a cam (71), the shaft and the cam being suitable for being rotatably mobile in relation to one another, —a push member (6) suitable for engaging with the cam and for translating along the shaft, and—and a resilient member (9) suitable for working under compression during a translation movement of the push member (6), said translation movement being caused by activating the transmission unit. The push member (6) includes, at the same time, a body (68) designed for receiving cam followers (621; 622) suitable for engaging with the cam (71), and a linear bearing (64) arranged in the body, the bearing being suitable for engaging with the shaft (81).
