What is a Landing Gear Wheel?

A Landing Gear Wheel (WHEEL,LANDING GEAR) is a wheel which balances and supports the weight of an airplane when in contact with solid surfaces. Includes wheels with solid molded tires.

What is a Multiple Disk Brake?

A Multiple Disk Brake (BRAKE,MULTIPLE DISK) is a brake consisting essentially of the following: a. A brake anchor bracket, also called a carrier assembly, which is the basic unit of the brake. It is designed to be attached to the torque flange of the axle and is also the part upon which the other components of the brake are assembled. b. A floating hydraulically actuated annular piston, or an equivalent mechanical device, used for applying braking pressure. c. Metallic disks keyed to rotate with the wheel alternated with nonrotating disks keyed to the anchor bracket. See also BRAKE, SEGMENTED ROTOR.

What is a Master Hydraulic Brake Cylinder?

A Master Hydraulic Brake Cylinder (CYLINDER,HYDRAULIC BRAKE,MASTER) is a cylinder, usually incorporating an integral reservoir, designed to house the necessary component parts of a CYLINDER ASSEMBLY, HYDRAULIC BRAKE, MASTER.

What is a Master Hydraulic Brake Cylinder Assembly?

A Master Hydraulic Brake Cylinder Assembly (CYLINDER ASSEMBLY,HYDRAULIC BRAKE,MASTER) is a device consisting of a reservoir and/or CYLINDER, HYDRAULIC BRAKE, MASTER with other components necessary to displace fluid from a central source for actuating the slave or wheel cylinders of a hydraulic brake system.

What is a Friction Lining?

A Friction Lining (LINING,FRICTION) is a fibrous and/or metallic material with or without binders and/or compounds, cut or molded to a specific size. It may be a segment or a complete lining. It is usually designed to be fastened to a shoe, disk, band, cone, or the like, but may be installed without fastening. It provides a friction surface for transmitting, retarding, or stopping motion. Excludes LINING MATERIAL, FRICTION.

What is a Wheel Balancing Weight?

A Wheel Balancing Weight (WEIGHT,WHEEL BALANCING) is a metal item designed to dynamically and statically balance the pneumatic tired wheels of a vehicle. The weight is usually attached to the rim by means of an integral spring steel clip.

What is a Disk Brake Shoe?

A Disk Brake Shoe is a replaceable metal plate, usually affixed with a fabric friction lining as the contact pad surface. It may be of circular, kidney, or rectangular shape. When mounted in a caliper cylinder housing, between brake disk and hydraulic or pneumatic piston(s), or wheel and caliper lever, it is so designed that actuated pressure, on the shoe friction pad, will retard or stop motion. Excludes BRAKE, DUAL DISK; BRAKE, SINGLE DISK; BRAKE SHOE; and DISK, BRAKE.

What is a Hydraulic Brake Piston?

A Hydraulic Brake Piston (PISTON,HYDRAULIC BRAKE) is a metallic or nonmetallic item designed to function in a wheel cylinder or caliper of a hydraulic brake system.

What is an Aircraft Wheel Assembly?

An Aircraft Wheel Assembly (WHEEL ASSEMBLY,AIRCRAFT) is an assembly consisting of two WHEEL HALF ASSEMBLY (ies) with all components or a WHEEL HALF ASSEMBLY and a wheel flange with all components to form a wheel for aircraft.
