Abstract

More Electric Aircraft with electro-mechanical actuator(EMA) or electro-hydrostatic actuator(EHA) is the development trend of new aircraft. In high temperature conditions, the transmission clearance of EMA transmission system may change because of thermal deformation. If the transmission clearance decreases, the EMA may get stuck; If the transmission clearance increases, it will affect the control accuracy of the aircraft control. This paper investigates the transmission clearance of EMA transmission system when subjected to the combined effects of an external high-temperature environment and internal heat sources. To calculate the temperature distribution of EMA transmission system, A heat transfer model of the EMA is established. Based on this temperature distribution, the EMA transmission clearance can be calculated. an EMA dynamic model, involved nonlinear clearance, is established to analysis the effects of the transmission clearance on the actuator's output performance. This research provides a reference for studying the design clearances of EMA under high temperature conditions.
