ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a floating metal structure (11) usable in most aircraft brakes. This structure aims at better distributing the pressure applied by the jacks, actuators or cylinders (7). The structure (11) is a ring with a U-shaped section having a flat base (13) and into which are freely introduced the jacks (7) which, also ensure the centering thereof. In a first solution, the contact of said structure takes place directly between the base (13) of the U and the first disk. In a second solution, contact takes place by means of a number of support shims or blocks (18) which is equal to the total number of active and inactive jacks (7) and arranged in staggered manner with respect thereto. These shims (18) remaining effective on alternating the active and inactive jacks (7), so that they act as if the number of jacks was doubled. Moreover, the structure (11) helps to thermally protect the jacks.
