Torque Link Damper
A torque link damper is a device that is used to dampen the oscillations or vibrations that occur in an aircraft's landing gear during takeoff or landing. The torque link is a structural member that connects the wheel to the aircraft structure, and the damper is a hydraulic or pneumatic component that is incorporated into the torque link.
During takeoff or landing, the landing gear experiences a significant amount of stress and vibration, which can cause the wheel to bounce and oscillate. The torque link damper helps to reduce these oscillations by absorbing the energy and providing a smoother ride for passengers and reducing stress on the aircraft.
The design of torque link dampers can vary depending on the specific aircraft and landing gear system, but they generally work by using hydraulic or pneumatic fluid to absorb the energy and reduce the oscillations. Proper maintenance and replacement of the torque link damper is essential to maintain the safety and performance of an aircraft's landing gear system.
