AIRCRAFT BRAKE TORQUE LIMITER ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In an aircraft multiple disc brake assembly, an excessive total brake torque can be experienced during favorable, dry, conditions. To limit the brake torque to a predetermined maximum, the plurality of conventional brake piston assemblies are modified to provide a pressure responsive surface area which is in an opposing relationship to the braking force. When a predetermined amount of braking torque is experi- enced, conventional electronics employing strain gauge sensors control a solenoid valve to vent pressurized brake fluid to the opposing surface area thereby reducing the braking force and limiting the total braking torque experienced by the brake assembly to a predetermined maximum amount. The brake pressure is not affected by this system.
