Abstract
A holding device for an aircraft actuator, comprising a body that extends between a lug configured to hingedly connect the holding device to a actuator support body and an attachment flange configured to fixedly attach the holding device to a landing provided by a main body of an actuator. The holding device is configured to prevent movement of the actuator from a normal working position relative to the actuator support body in the event of structural failure of a connection body of the actuator.
Claims14
An aircraft actuator assembly, comprising:
- an actuator comprising a main body and a connection body;
- a holding device comprising a body that extends between an attachment flange and a lug, wherein the attachment flange is configured to be fixedly attached to a corresponding landing provided by the main body of the actuator and the lug is configured to be hingedly connected to an actuator support body;
- the connection body being provided with a further lug configured to hingedly connect the actuator to the actuator support body;
- wherein the holding device is configured to prevent movement of the actuator from a normal working position relative to the actuator support body in an event of structural failure of the connection body;
- and
- wherein the attachment flange and corresponding landing form a lap joint when fixedly attached to one another by a shear type fastener.
