ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a brake system for braking aircraft wheels, the brake system being of the type which, for each wheel, comprises a stator central portion coaxially surrounding a wheel axle on which a rotor annular portion is mounted to rotate, and a succession of brake disks disposed between the stator central portion and the rotor annular portion with alternate disks being constrained to rotate with one and the other of said portions, said stator central portion being provided with a brake collar equipped with a plurality of sets of pistons and, rigidly secured to said collar, a torsion tube internally provided with a transverse annular web, a centering bearing being interposed between the annular web and the axle. According to the invention the centering bearing has structural characteristics that vary circumferentially in a distribution configuration suitable for generating different bearing stiffnesses along two orthogonal axes contained in a plane that is perpendicular to the axis of the axle.
