QUICK CONNECT MANIFOLD FOR FLOWABLE MATERIAL DELIVERY TO A PART-FORMING FIXTURE AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS
An apparatus, system, and methods for providing flowable material to a part-forming fixture. The apparatus comprising a tool manifold and a fixture manifold. The tool manifold comprises a tool-manifold base and a plurality of tool fittings extending through the tool-manifold base. The fixture manifold comprises a fixture-manifold base and a plurality of fixture fittings extending through the fixture-manifold base. An interface end of each one of the plurality of tool fittings is removably attachable to an interface end of a corresponding one of the plurality of fixture fittings such that, when attached, a seal is created between the tool fittings and the corresponding fixture fitting and flowable material is flowable from each one of the tool fittings into the corresponding one of the fixture fittings.
Transfer tube assembly
A transfer tube assembly comprises a transfer tube slidably engaged in sealing engagement with a first component. The transfer tube has a shoulder engageable with a stopper for limiting relative axial movement between the transfer tube and the first component. The shoulder has an abutment surface facing a corresponding bore surface of the first bore of the first component. The abutment surface and the bore surface are configured to generate axially opposing reaction forces in response to the abutment surface and the bore surface contacting each other.

Landing gear with hydraulic fluid channels
A torque link assembly may comprise an upper torque link, a lower torque link, and a torque link pin. The upper torque link may define an upper hydraulic fluid channel. The lower torque link may define a lower hydraulic fluid channel. The torque link pin may fluidly couple the upper hydraulic fluid channel to the lower hydraulic fluid channel.
MULTI COUPLING FOR COUPLING LINES WITH AN ALIGNMENT AID
A multi-coupling (1)-couples lines (2) with an alignment aid (5) assigned to a first coupling part (3) and a second coupling part (4) for compensating for offset tolerances during threading of the first coupling part (3) into the second coupling part (4) during coupling of medium couplings (6). At least one coupling part has a coupling carrier (8) mounted floatingly transversely with respect to the coupling direction (7), and the alignment aid (5) has, on one coupling part, a central precentring journal (9) protruding from a coupling carrier in the coupling direction (7) and at least one precision centring journal (11) protruding from the coupling carrier (8) in the coupling direction (7) and arranged radially around the precentring journal axis (10). The precision centering journal head is set back in the coupling direction (7) with respect to the precentring journal head, and the alignment aid (5) has, on the coupling socket side, a central jaw (12) that merges in the coupling direction (7) into a precentring guide (13) for the precentring journal (9) and is equipped with at least one precision centering guide (15), arranged around the precentring guide axis (14), for the precision centering journal (11).
ROTARY JOINT
Each of mechanical seal devices of a rotary joint includes a seal ring and a seal ring attached to a shaft body, and a seal ring and a seal ring attached to a case body. A flow passage that partitions an annular space and connects a flow passage and a flow passage is formed between a sliding portion of the seal rings and a sliding portion of the seal rings. A flow passage that partitions the annular space and connects a flow passage and a flow passage is formed between the sliding portion of a mechanical seal device disposed on one side in the axial direction and the sliding portion of a mechanical seal device disposed on the other side in the axial direction in mechanical seal devices adjacent to each other in the axial direction.
