[0] TRW Develops New Cargo System Braking Transport Roller That Increases Life and Durability of System.Business Editors LE BOURGET Le Bourget is a commune in the northeastern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 10.6 km. (6.6 miles) from the center of Paris. A very small part of Le Bourget airport lies on the territory of the commune of Le Bourget, which nonetheless gave its name to the airport. , France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 18, 2001 Paris Air Show The Paris Air Show (Salon International de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace, Paris-Le Bourget) is an international trade fair for the aerospace business. It is held at Le Bourget airport near Paris, France every odd year, alternating both with the Farnborough International 2001--TRW Aeronautical aer·o·nau·tic also aer·o·nau·ti·cal adj.

Aircraft cargo systems utilize transport rollers to enable movement of aircraft cargo containers down the length of the cargo bay (longitudinal conveyance). A conventional braking roller employs constant braking at all loading speeds in both directions, which inhibits the function of the power drive units designed to move the cargo containers. This constant braking force increases wear, power consumption, and the risk of system damage as well as reduces the life of the power drive units. TRW Aeronautical Systems' new braking transport roller can be set to a predetermined pre·de·ter·mine v. pre·de·ter·mined, pre·de·ter·min·ing, pre·de·ter·mines v.tr. 1. To determine, decide, or establish in advance: transport speed that engages the braking mechanism if exceeded, but allows non-restrictive movement of the cargo in either direction within the predetermined maximum transport speed. When the predetermined speed of the cargo containers is exceeded, the braking roller automatically engages and applies braking resistance to slow the cargo containers' speed, protecting personnel from injury, and the aircraft and cargo from damage. The self-contained braking transport roller easily installs into the roller track profile with two fasteners fasteners In construction, connectors between structural members. Bolted connections are used when it is necessary to fasten two elements tightly together, especially to resist shear and bending, as in column and beam connections. and functions without an external power source. The braking roller can be customized to airlines' particular needs by providing predetermined braking ability in either one or both directions. TRW's first platform for its new braking transport roller is Airbus Industrie's A340-500/600 aircraft. Airbus plans to install these rollers in the aircraft's lower lobe this summer.
