What Is a Torque Tube?
An aircraft torque tube is a vital component of a plane’s braking system. Attached to the housing piston, the torque tube goes in the hole of the brake disc. When employed, the pistons press the brake discs to the torque tube which absorbs the torsional stress and releases heat.
In order to withstand the pressure, a torque tube system in the aircraft must be forged with the proper materials, like steel. Additionally, these torque tubes need to be crafted with exact specifications.
