Configuration For A Disk Brake Torque Tube
View pageUS Patent:
53238818, Jun 28, 1994
Filed:
Apr 17, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/870079
Inventors:
David D. Machan - North Canton OH

John G. Evrard - Akron OH
Assignee:
Aircraft Braking Systems Corporation - Akron OH
International Classification:
F16D 5536
US Classification:
188 715
Abstract:
A torque tube for an aircraft wheel and brake assembly is characterized by an annular, substantially cone-shaped, radially-extending backplate flange having a plurality of stiffening ribs which extend axially inboardly as radial extensions of various key surfaces, the key surfaces being adapted for engagement with alternating disks of a brake disk stack of the assembly. The stiffening ribs exhibit an axial dimension as may be defined by a pair of acute angles, a first acute angle establishing an outboard straight line surface of revolution which is continuous about the outboard end of the tube while a second acute angle establishes an inboard straight line surface of revolution in only the areas of the stiffening ribs. The backplate flange exhibits an axial dimension between the ribs as may be defined by a third acute angle which establishes a straight line surface of revolution between the adjacent ribs.
