Abstract
A swivel axis for an aircraft engine attachment, comprising a tubular main axis which has, at a first end, a head and, at a second end, a threaded portion onto which is screwed a first nut. A fail-safe axis is configured to be mounted to swivel inside the main axis. The fail-safe axis has, at a first end, a head and, at a second end, a threaded portion onto which is screwed a second nut. The fail-safe axis is linked by an axial link to the first nut. Since the fail-safe axis is linked to the first nut, it is necessarily inserted into the main axis when the first nut is screwed onto the main axis.
Claims10
A swivel axis for an aircraft engine attachment, comprising:
- a tubular main axis which has, at a first end, a head and, at a second end, a threaded portion,
- a first nut configured to be screwed onto the threaded portion of the main axis,
- a fail-safe axis configured to be mounted to swivel inside the main axis and having, at a first end, a head and, at a second end, a threaded portion, and
- a second nut configured to be screwed onto the threaded portion of the fail-safe axis,
- wherein the fail-safe axis and the first nut are linked by an axial link configured to translationally immobilize, relative to one another, the fail-safe axis and the first nut, while allowing a rotational movement of one relative to the other of the first nut and of the fail-safe axis.
