Abstract
The actuator assembly comprises a master actuator and at least one slave actuator having a cylinder containing a piston defining two chambers in the cylinder. A first chamber of the slave actuator is connected to an outlet of a directional control valve which is connected to a hydraulic control circuit and to a control member whose position determines the pressure in the first chamber of the slave actuator. A displacement of the piston of the master actuator is transferred to the control member of the control valve associated with the slave actuator by means of a mechanical transmission such as a flexible linear rolling bearing. Thus, the displacement of the piston of the slave actuator is servo-controlled to the displacement of the piston of the master actuator by controlling the position of the control member of the control valve associated with the slave actuator. The actuator assembly is suitable for use in particular for controlling the moving flaps of the nozzle of a turbojet of variable exhaust section, and possibly also steerable.
