Abstract
The resilient return strut is of the elastic-hydraulic type with incorporated linear damping by throttling a high-viscosity fluid, and comprises a damper (1) mounted between two return springs (2, 3) in elastomer-based sleeves (17, 18), undergoing a shearing action and sealing the chambers (34, 35) set off within the body of the damper (12) by a transverse wall (10) which marks off a permanent throttling passage around a central brace (23). Limiting valves equipped with spring-leaves (45) sealing the holes (40) bored in the wall (10) increase the throttling section. A compressed-air system (52), mounted in a spring (2), compensates for thermal expansion of the fluid. The device is used with helicopter rotors.
