One-way speed limiter for a power door opening system for an aircraft
Abstract:
A one-way speed limiter includes a first housing including an inner surface. defining a speed limiter receiving zone. A second housing includes a flange and a second wall including an inner surface portion that includes a stop feature. A ball housing including a ball member is rotatably supported in the speed limiter receiving zone. The ball member selectively engages the stop feature. A friction clutch is disposed between the ball housing and the first housing. The friction clutch selectively retards rotation of the ball housing. A motor shaft is selectively rotatably connected to the ball housing. The motor shaft including a first end supported at the ball housing and a second end. The motor shaft is rotatable relative to the ball housing in a first direction and selectively rotatably constrained relative to the ball housing in a second direction to selectively engage the friction clutch.
