Embodiment Construction

[0017] The same or similar structures will be denoted by the same reference numerals in these figures.

[0018] figure 1 An aircraft brake assembly is depicted having distinct first and second heat sinks (thermal reservoirs), which are shown at the top and bottom of the figure for illustrative purposes only. In the upper part of the drawings of the preferred embodiment of the convertible brake assembly, the aircraft brake assembly 10 includes a torque tube 12 secured to a piston housing 14 by a plurality of screws 16 . Piston housing 14 includes a plurality of piston-tube assemblies 18 that house pistons 19 . The steel heat sink, generally designated by the reference numeral 20, comprises a plurality of steel rotor discs 22 and a plurality of friction material discs 24, the rotor discs 22 engaging with surrounding wheels by splines and grooves as is well known in the art. 30, while the friction material disc 24 is engaged with the torque tube 12 by a well-known spline and gr...

Abstract

A convertible aircraft brake assembly designed as original equipment to have heat sinks comprising a steel heat sink aircraft brake assembly and a carbon-carbon composite heat sink aircraft brake assembly. When the aircraft brake assembly is converted from one type of heat sink to the other, the conversion is accomplished with minimal changes in component parts. The conversion can be accomplished without any changes in the piston housing, torque tube, and wheel because the heat sinks include therein respective components which enable each heat sink to be utilized with the commonly used piston housing, torque tube, and wheel.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to methods of converting aircraft brake assemblies, and more particularly to methods of converting aircraft brake assemblies from a first type of heat sink to a second type of heat sink. Background technique [0002] Steel heat sink aircraft brake assemblies have proven economical, reliable and desirable for aircraft flying shorter distances. This technology is still used in the aerospace industry for steel heat sink aircraft brake components. Such brake assemblies typically include a steel brake or stationary disc and a corresponding number of friction material moving or stationary discs. Carbon-carbon composite heat sink aircraft brake components are increasingly being used in commercial aircraft and their flight distances have increased. According to the heat absorber disclosed in commonly-owned U.S. Patent 5,321,876 to Massing et al., the use of a carbon-carbon composite heat absorber provides significant w...
