Brake Thermal Piston Insulator

Brake Thermal Piston Insulators are components used in aircraft wheel and brake systems. They are part of the Aerospace Craft Components and Accessories supply group.

The main function of a Brake Thermal Piston Insulator is to provide thermal insulation between the brake piston and the brake caliper. This helps to prevent heat transfer from the brake system to other components, such as the brake fluid or the aircraft structure.

By reducing heat transfer, Brake Thermal Piston Insulators help to maintain the optimal operating temperature of the brake system. This is important for ensuring the efficiency and effectiveness of the brakes, as excessive heat can lead to brake fade or failure.

Brake Thermal Piston Insulators are typically made from heat-resistant materials, such as high-temperature rubber or composite materials. They are designed to withstand the high temperatures generated during braking and provide reliable insulation over the lifespan of the aircraft.

Overall, Brake Thermal Piston Insulators play a crucial role in maintaining the performance and safety of aircraft wheel and brake systems by preventing excessive heat transfer and ensuring proper brake operation.
