ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is described for limiting transient motions between an aircraft power member and aircraft structure. The apparatus incorporates a coupler (20) for use with inertial-type mounts and includes a body portion (21) having a coupler piston (32) telescopically received therein. Upon exceeding a transient relative motion which causes a fluid flow velocity to be exceeded, seat (38) formed on coupler piston (32) interacts with lip (39) on body portion (21) to cause a fluid flow restriction. This method and apparatus restricts and limits transient motions, i.e., acts as a snuffer, to limit further relative motion between an aircraft power member (54) and an aircraft structural member (52). The coupler piston (32) preferably includes a flexible seal (38) formed thereon and orifice (40) therethrough for providing additional throttle-type damping upon snubbing. This method and apparatus is particularly useful in inertial-type fluid mounts for mounting aircraft engines, fluid pylon isolators for helicopter pylon isolation, and Fluid Torque Restraint (FTR) systems for aircraft for limiting transient motions under certain conditions, such as during takeoff, landing, and maneuvers, yet providing isolation under normal operating conditions.
