A plate assembly for a multi-disk brake system is provided. The plate assembly includes at least one of a pressure plate or an end plate and a floating plate wear liner mounted against the at least one of the pressure plate or the end plate. The floating plate wear liner is configured to contact a contact surface of an adjacent rotatable friction disk in response to the multi-disk brake system being actuated.

A half cap wear clip may comprise: a wear face configured to interface with a torque bar; a first flange disposed on a first side of the wear face and a second flange disposed on a second side of the wear face, the second side opposite the first side; and a deformable feature disposed on a first end of the first flange and the second flange and the wear face, the deformable feature configured to permanently deform a first distance in response to a load on the wear face exceeding a load threshold.

A torque plate barrel for use with a brake system is disclosed herein. The torque plate barrel includes a barrel body having an outer diameter, an inner diameter, and an axial length extending from a first end to an opposing second end, wherein the inner diameter varies along the axial length and the outer diameter is fixed along the axial length.

A dust retainer for a brake system comprising a retainer receptacle mounted integrally to one or more components of the brake assembly, wherein the retainer receptacle comprises a drum have first and second open ends, one open end being secured to a component of the brake system and the other open end being closed by a dust retainer cap, the drum defining a space within which a brake disk of the brake system is located, in use, wherein removal of the dust retainer cap allows the brake disk to be removed from the open end of the retainer drum, and a removable drawer integrated in the drum. A fastening means to removably secure brake components to each other is also disclosed.

A torque tube for a brake assembly may include a tube portion having a first centerline axis, a conical back-leg portion extending from the tube portion in a radially outward angled orientation relative to the first centerline axis, and a lip portion disposed at a radially outward end of the conical back-leg portion. The lip portion may have added structural material to improve the structural properties of the torque tube to prevent or mitigate damage that would otherwise be caused by friction-induced vibrations.

An architecture that provides automatic monitoring of brake conditions making use of a wear pin on a brake. The disclosure makes use of the fact that a wear pin is required to be provided on an aircraft brake, by integrating monitoring functions such as displacement sensors and/or temperature sensors, into the pin. This means that the automatic monitoring components are not taking up more space on the brake than is already taken up by the compulsory wear pin.

A rotating table is maintained in a stationary state by generating a clamping torque while ensuring a long enough lifetime of a plate spring. Provided is a rotating table device including: base members; a rotating member that is supported by the base members so as to be rotatable about an axis; a brake disk that is secured to the rotating member; and a clamping mechanism that clamps the brake disk, wherein the clamping mechanism is provided with a piston that is attached so as to be movable between a clamped position and an unclamped position in a direction along the axis with respect to the base members, a plate spring that is secured to the piston and the base members and that biases the piston toward the clamped position, and a coil spring that is disposed between the piston and the base members, and that constantly biases the piston toward the clamped position.

A clip for coupling a torque plate to an end plate of a disk brake system in accordance with various embodiments includes an inner portion having two parallel elongate members. The clip further includes an outer portion at least partially including a rounded portion that is located outward from the inner portion and has a raised end, wherein the inner portion is entirely in a same plane as the rounded portion of the outer portion, and wherein the raised end extends away from the rounded portion.

The present disclosure provides a heat shield. The heat shield may comprise a first shield layer defining a cylindrical inner diameter surface of the heat shield, the cylindrical inner diameter surface having a radius and an axis, an air gap layer radially outward of the first shield layer, a second shield layer radially outward of the air gap layer, a first insulation layer radially outward of the second shield layer, a foil layer radially outward of the second shield layer, a second insulation layer radially outward of the foil layer, and a third shield layer radially outward of the second insulation layer.
