COMPACT SHOCK ABSORBER FOR AIRCRAFT AIRCRAFT AND LANDSCAPER COMPRISING SUCH SHOCK ABSORBER

摘要

The invention relates to an aircraft landing gear damper comprising a main cylinder (1) in which a rod (2) is mounted to telescopically slide, the damper comprising at least one pneumatic chamber (12, 22) filled with gas, a hydraulic fluid reservoir (5) and hydraulic fluid rolling means (14,24) so that when the damper is depressed, the gas is compressed and the hydraulic fluid is rolled. According to the invention, the pneumatic chamber is contained in an auxiliary cylinder (10, 20) external to the main cylinder and in which a sealed piston (11, 21) is slidably mounted to separate the pneumatic chamber (12, 22) from a fluid chamber (13,23) in fluid communication with the main cylinder.
