D. Shocks to the nose gear shock strut are absorbed by the restricted flow of hydraulic fluid through the annular space between the orifice and the tapered metering pin and by the restricted flow of fluid through the rebound valve piston ring. (See paragraph C) When the inner cylinder is being compressed, the tapered metering pin, which is attached to the lower support tube in the inner cylinder, moves through the orifice in the upper support tube. This movement of the metering pin progressively reduces the area of the annular space between the orifice and metering pin. The reduction in area results in a diminishing rate of hydraulic fluid flow from the inner cylinder chamber to the upper side of the piston which produces increasing resistance to compression of the shock strut. Landing shocks and shocks incurred while taxiing are absorbed by the increasing volume of hydraulic fluid above the piston which further compresses the volume of compressed air or nitrogen in the upper end of the outer cylinder.
3. Nose Gear Steering Collar
A. The nose gear steering collar is at the top of the outer cylinder (Fig. 1). It is held clamped around the outer cylinder, by a bolt, in an annular recess immediately below the trunnions. Both of the two steering cylinders are connected to the steering collar and the upper end of the upper torsion link is also connected to the steering collar. When force is applied to the steering collar, by either steering cylinder, the collar transfers the force through the torsion links to turn the inner cylinder to the right or left respectively, to which cylinder force is applied to give steering action to the nose wheels.

Nose Gear Torsion Links
A The nose gear torsion links allow rotation between the inner and outer shock strut cylinders only when moved by the steering collar or when disconnected at their aft ends. The upper link is connected to the steering collar, and the lower link is connected to a lug on the inner cylinder (Fig. 1). The upper and lower torsion links are joined together by an apex pin at their aft ends; this locks the nose wheels in the position assumed by the steering collar without affecting strut action. Steering forces applied to the steering collar by the nose gear steering system are transmitted to the inner cylinder by the torsion links. 中国航空网 www.aero.cn 航空翻译 www.aviation.cn 本文链接地址:737 AMM 飞机维护手册 起落架 LANDING GEAR(57)
