An oleo strut is a pneumatic air–oil hydraulic shock absorber used on the landing gear of most large aircraft and many smaller ones.[1] This design cushions the impacts of landing and damps out vertical oscillations.

It is undesirable for an airplane to bounce on landing—it could lead to a loss of control.[2] The landing gear should not add to this tendency. A steel coil spring stores impact energy from landing and then releases it. An oleo strut absorbs this energy, reducing bounce.[3]

As the strut compresses, the spring rate increases dramatically, because the air is being compressed, while the viscosity of the oil dampens the rebound movement.[4][5]

The largest cargo airplanes in the world, such as the Antonov An-124 Ruslan, use oleo struts to allow for rough-field landing capacity with a payload of up to 150 tons. This design also cushions the airframe from the impacts of taxiing.[6]

History

Cleveland Pneumatic Tool Company designed and introduced the first oleo-pneumatic shock-absorbing strut for airplanes, later called "Aerol" struts in 1926.[7][8][9][10] Oleo-pneumatic struts have been in use for many decades.[3] Oleo-pneumatic shock absorber technology has continued to be refined, for example with US patent US2959410 A, Jarry Hydraulics, in 1960.[11]

Operation

Pneumatic systems like the oleo strut generally have long operating lives, and the construction is not unusually complex for maintenance purposes.[12]

An oleo strut consists of an inner metal tube or piston, which is attached to the wheel axle, and which moves up and down in an outer (or upper) metal tube, or cylinder, that is attached to the airframe. The cavity within the strut and piston is filled with gas (usually nitrogen, sometimes air—especially on light aircraft) and oil (usually hydraulic fluid), and is divided into two chambers that communicate through a small orifice.

When the aircraft is stationary on the ground, its weight is supported by the compressed gas in the cylinder.[1] During landing, or when the aircraft taxis over bumps, the piston slides up and down. It compresses the gas, which acts as a spring, and forces oil through the orifice, which acts as a damper. A tapered rod is used on some designs to change the size of the orifice as the piston moves, providing greater resistance as compression of the strut increases. Additionally, a check valve is sometimes used to uncover additional orifices so that damping during compression is less than during rebound.

Nitrogen is usually used as the gas instead of air, since it is less likely to cause corrosion. The various parts of the strut are sealed with O-rings or similar elastomeric seals, and a scraper ring is used to keep dust and grit adhering to the piston from entering the strut.[6]

Automotive applications

Hydropneumatic suspension, introduced in 1954, utilizes the same principle of a gas that compresses (nitrogen) and a fluid that does not. In this application, an engine driven pump is used to pressurize the hydraulic fluid.

The Quadro range of motor scooters use the oleo strut to allow for low speed lean.[13]
