Aircraft Brake Wear Cap

Aircraft Brake Wear Caps are protective covers that are used to cover the brake wear indicators on aircraft wheels. These caps are part of the supply class Aircraft Wheel And Brake Systems, which falls under the supply group Aerospace Craft Components And Accessories.

The purpose of the brake wear cap is to prevent dirt, debris, and moisture from entering the brake wear indicator mechanism. The brake wear indicator is a device that provides a visual indication of the amount of wear on the aircraft brake pads. It is important to monitor the wear on the brake pads to ensure they are within the acceptable limits for safe operation.

The brake wear cap is typically made of a durable and weather-resistant material, such as rubber or plastic. It is designed to fit securely over the brake wear indicator, providing a protective barrier. The cap is usually easy to install and remove, allowing for quick inspection and maintenance of the brake wear indicator.

By using brake wear caps, aircraft operators can help extend the lifespan of their brake wear indicators and ensure accurate monitoring of brake pad wear. This, in turn, contributes to the overall safety and efficiency of the aircraft's braking system.
