Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A sensor for monitoring loads in a landing gear torque linkage includes a main pin having an axial interior bore defined therein. The main pin is configured and adapted to engage a torque link to a strut lug of a landing gear strut. A core pin is mounted axially within an interior bore of the main pin and is spaced radially inwardly from the interior bore for relative displacement with respect to the main pin. A capacitor is included having an inner capacitor plate mounted to the core pin. An outer capacitor plate is mounted to the main pin. Relative displacement of the core pin and the main pin due to loads acting on the torque link and strut lug results in relative displacement of the inner and outer capacitor plates. Signals can thereby be produced indicative of the loads acting on the torque link.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A sensor for monitoring loads in a landing gear torque linkage comprising: a) a main pin having an axial interior bore defined therein and having a length defined from a first end to an opposed second end thereof, wherein the main pin is configured and adapted to engage a torque link to a strut lug of a landing gear strut; b) a core pin mounted axially aligned within the interior bore of the main pin and being spaced radially inwardly with a radial clearan…
