Patent ID: 11268549

Abstract:
The invention relates to a hydraulic actuator comprising a cylinder (1) in which a piston (2) secured to a rod (4) is mounted so as to slide in a sealed manner in order to delimit in the cylinder a hydraulic extension chamber (5) and a hydraulic retraction chamber (6) that are connected to respective ports, the hydraulic actuator comprising means for slowing the piston when the piston approaches a retracted position. According to the invention, the slowing means comprise first and second hydraulic lines (7, 8) extending between the extension port and the extension chamber, the first hydraulic line comprising a seat (13) while the piston bears a retractable finger (10) having an end (14) that comes to bear against the seat in order to close the first hydraulic line (7) when the piston approaches the retracted position, such that only the second hydraulic line (8) remains open while the piston completes its travel towards the retracted position.Landing gear and aircraft comprising such an actuator.
