ABSTRACT:
An aircraft brake (11) typically includes a torque tube (16) supported by a pedestal (24) upon an axle (18). The torque tube (16) is connected with the plurality of stators (20) which interface with a plurality of rotors (22) connected with a surrounding wheel (10). In order to improve the configuration stability of torque tube (16) during operation of the brake (11), a spacer member (40) is located between the inner diameter surface (17) of the torque tube (16) and the outer diameter surface (15) of the axle (14). The spacer member (40) has an outer diameter surface (42) which supports the inner diameter surface (17) of the torque tube (16) and an inner diameter surface (46) which is supported by the axle (14). A splined support ring (50) engage splines (47) at the inner diameter surface (46) of the spacer member (40) and is press fitted to the axle (14).
