Shock Strut (Fig. 1)
___________
(1)
The shock strut is the primary supporting member of the main gear. The strut consists of inner and outer cylinders which are charged with an air-oil mixture to absorb loads during landing, taxiing, and take-off. The shock strut mounts into a spherical bearing on the main landing gear beam and attaches to the trunnion link.
(2)
Upper and lower bearings inside the outer cylinder provide sliding surfaces between the two cylinders. Two active seals, one static and one dynamic, seal the air-oil mixture between the two cylinders. Two sets of spare seals are stored in annular grooves in the lower bearing.
(3)
Shocks are absorbed by the flow of hydraulic fluid through the annular space between a metering pin and an orifice plate. The metering pin is tapered to progressively adjust the flow of hydraulic fluid. This provides uniform control of the loads on airplane structure. A rebound snubber, located just below the upper bearing, acts as a one-way restrictor. During compression, the snubber allows free flow of hydraulic fluid. During extension, the snubber restricts flow of hydraulic fluid and thus controls rebound of the shock strut.

The outer cylinder provides attachments for the drag strut, lower side strut, and upper torsion link. Also attached to the outer cylinder is an uplock roller which engages in the uplock hook during gear retraction to lock the gear up. The inner cylinder provides attachments for the truck assembly and lower torsion link.

Torsion Links (Fig. 1)
_____________
(1)
The torsion links prevent the shock strut inner cylinder from rotating as it moves in and out of the outer cylinder during normal operation. This maintains truck directional headings at all times.
