Abstract:
A no-back device for resisting feedback torque from an actuator. The no-back device comprises: a flange arranged to receive torque via a shaft; a ratchet assembly comprising a ratchet wheel arranged parallel to the flange; and a braking assembly comprising a resistance wheel, which is sandwiched between the flange and the ratchet wheel, and a braking device, which acts on the resistance wheel to generate a resistive angular force reacting against torque exerted on the resistance wheel. The braking device comprises a follower arranged to roll, under bias from a spring in the braking device, on a cam surface extending around a circumferential perimeter of the resistance wheel. Radial displacement of the follower energizes the spring to generate resistive angular force.
