Abstract
A brake actuator plate assembly includes an electromechanical brake actuator, a connector configured to communicatively couple with an aircraft, a wire harness configured to terminate at the connector and conduct at least one of a voltage or a current to and from an actuator motor, and an actuator plate comprising a wire harness channel configured to house the wire harness.
Claims17
A brake actuator plate assembly comprising:
- an electromechanical brake actuator;
- a connector configured to communicatively couple with an aircraft;
- a wire harness configured to terminate at the connector and conduct at least one of a voltage or a current to and from an actuator motor;
- and
- an actuator plate comprising a wire harness channel configured substantially concentric with the circumference of the actuator plate to house the wire harness, wherein the wire harness channel is an internal cavity fully contained within the actuator plate.

A brake actuator plate assembly comprising:
- an actuator plate comprising a wire harness channel formed therein;
- an electromechanical brake actuator coupled to the actuator plate;
- a connector disposed on the actuator plate, the connector configured to communicatively couple with an aircraft;
- and
- a wire harness disposed within or at least partially within the wire harness channel and electrically coupling the connector and the electromechanical brake actuator, wherein the wire harness channel is configured substantially concentric with the circumference of the actuator plate and fully surrounds a central opening of the actuator plate.
2 more elements
An aircraft brake arrangement comprising:
- an actuator plate assembly comprising a first electromechanical brake actuator, a second electromechanical brake actuator, a connector, and an actuator plate having a wire harness disposed in a wire harness channel of the actuator plate, the wire harness channel fully contained within an internal cavity within the actuator plate, wherein the wire harness is configured to terminate at the connector and is routed within or at least partially within the wire harness channel from the connector to each of the first electromechanical brake actuator and the second electromechanical brake actuator;
- an actuator motor coupled to the electromechanical brake actuator and configured to cause the electromechanical brake actuator to actuate;
- a ball screw and a motor shaft coupled to the electromechanical brake actuators;
- an end plate;
- a pressure plate;
- and
- a plurality of rotating discs and stators positioned in an alternating fashion between the end plate and the pressure plate,
- wherein, in response to a brake command, the electromechanical brake actuator causes the motor shaft to rotate, thus moving the ball screw toward the pressure plate, the pressure plate applying force towards the end plate.
