The piston within the main landing gear cylinder plays a crucial role in absorbing impact forces during landing and facilitates both the extension and retraction of the landing gear. As a key component of the landing gear system, the piston is attached to the cylinder and is responsible for cushioning the loads encountered during operation. The number and dimensions of these pistons can vary depending on the aircraft type, but all must adhere to stringent safety standards, which limits the selection to only a few suitable materials
These are mainly titanium alloys and high-alloy steels. But it is not only the materials that are demanding, the complexity of the components is also constantly increasing. In addition to the tool technology, the machining strategy is therefore particularly important. Contour milling, turning and holemaking are among the most important machining operations in this context.
