Abstract
An example ram air turbine biasing assembly includes a support member that holds a biasing member. The biasing member biases a component of a ram air turbine. The support member includes a step that limits movement of the component toward the biasing member.
Claims20
A ram air turbine biasing assembly comprising:
- a support member that holds a biasing member, the biasing member biasing a component of a ram air turbine, wherein the support member includes a step that limits movement of the component toward the biasing member.
A ram air turbine assembly, comprising:
- a strut movable between a deployed position and a stowed position, the strut supporting a turbine that is rotatable about a first axis;
- a drive shaft rotatable about a second axis transverse to the first axis, the drive shaft driving a hydraulic pump and a generator;
- a gearbox rotatably coupling rotation of the strut with the drive shaft;
- a gearbox bearing biasing member that biases a gearbox bearing system away from the turbine;
- and
- a gearbox bearing liner that supports the gearbox bearing system, the gearbox bearing liner including a step that limits movement of the gearbox bearing system toward the gearbox bearing biasing member.
