An electric brake actuator for the brake system of an aircraft is presented. A brake actuator includes a piston driven by a cylindrical nut and screw arrangement, driven by an appropriate motor of the actuator. Application of brake force results in a reactionary force that deflects the top cover of the actuator. The axial component of this deflection correlates directly with the brake force applied. A beam is interposed between this cover and a top cap, such that deflection of the beam correlates to applied brake face. Piezo-resistive devices are connected to the beam and, through a whetstone bridge, provide an electrical output signal correlating to applied brake force.

Ce document présente un dispositif électrique d'application des freins destiné au système de freinage d'un aéronef. Ce dispositif comprend un piston actionné par un mécanisme comportant un écrou cylindrique et une tige filetée entraînée par un moteur approprié intégré au dispositif. L'application de la force de freinage produit une force de réaction qui déplace le couvercle supérieur du dispositif d'application des freins. La composante axiale de ce déplacement est proportionnelle à la force de freinage appliquée. Une poutre est insérée entre le couvercle et un capot supérieur; le déplacement de la poutre est proportionnel à la force de freinage appliquée. Des dispositifs piézorésistifs sont montés sur la poutre et, par l'intermédiaire d'un pont de Wheatstone, fournissent un signal électrique de sortie dont l'intensité est proportionnelle à la force de freinage appliquée.
