Abstract

An aircraft landing gear comprising an axle (100), a wheel (102) borne by the axle, a stack of discs (104) arranged to impose a braking torque on the wheel in response to a pressure imposed on the stack of discs, at least one electromechanical actuator (106) extending facing the stack of discs in order in a controlled manner to apply the imposed pressure to the stack of discs, and an actuator bearer (107) designed to bear the electromechanical actuator. The electromechanical actuator is fixed to the actuator bearer while at the same time being demountable. The actuator bearer is incorporated into the axle in such a way that the axle and the actuator bearer form a single component. There also is a method of demounting a stack of discs from such a landing gear.
