Nose Landing Gear

Description and Operation

1. Nose Landing Gear Shock Strut Assembly

The nose landing gear shock strut assembly is an oleo pneumatic tube. It compresses and extends to
absorb landing loads when the aircraft lands. The main parts of the strut consist of the cylinder and
piston.

The cylinder is a vertical tube which has attachment arms at the top end. The strut is attached to the
aircraft by a trunnion bolt in each attachment arm. On the outside of the cylinder there are lugs and
brackets. The lugs and brackets are for the lower drag brace, upper torque link, extension/retraction
actuator, nose landing gear uplock roller, taxi light and nose wheel steering unit.

The cylinder has an internal liner in which the piston moves. At the bottom end of the cylinder there is
a recoil stop tube and a gland. These are held in position by a ring nut and gland plate. There is a fluid
charging screw and bleed screw near the top of the cylinder.

The piston moves inside the cylinder through the cylinder gland. On the bottom of the piston there is
the axle housing which holds the wheel axle, a lug for the lower torque arm, and an inflation valve for
nitrogen gas.
