More Than Two Friction Elements Patents (Class 192/85.09)
  • Patent number: 11578766
    Abstract: A wet friction disc includes a lubrication groove and a plurality of lands defined by the lubrication groove. The lubrication groove has a plurality of circumferential groove portions that extends in a circumferential direction and has a predetermined groove width in a radial direction, and a plurality of intersecting groove portions that extends in directions intersecting the circumferential direction. At least some of the circumferential groove portions have an arc shape such that an end in the circumferential direction is located adjacent to one of the lands in the circumferential direction and that the groove width is entirely contained within a range in the radial direction spanned by that land.

  • Patent number: 9187172
    Abstract: A brake for an aircraft wheel comprising an actuator-carrier 14 that carries at least one electromechanical actuator 15 having a pusher 19 that is movable along a direction parallel to an axis of rotation X of the wheel 2 and facing friction elements 7, 10 in order to apply a braking force selectively against the friction elements 7, 10. The actuator-carrier 14 and the actuator 15 include guide means 25, 32 for guiding the actuator 15 while being installed on the actuator-carrier 14 in a radial direction Y until it reaches a service position. The guide means forms a bearing surface for transmitting braking forces from the actuator to the actuator-carrier. Position-holder means 37 holds the position of the actuator in its service position and comprises a strap 37 fastened to the actuator-carrier 14 to prevent the actuator 15 from moving on the actuator-carrier 14 in the service position.
