Types of Brakes & Components
Aircraft Wheel Brakes
Aircraft wheel brakes generate massive friction and heat to bring moving aircraft to a stop, relying on durable materials and precise mechanics to perform reliably in a variety of circumstances and environments.
Helicopter Rotor Brakes
Helicopter rotor brakes are mounted on aircraft wheels to prevent rotation of the rotor. Rotor brake systems are hydraulically operated and composed of several critical components, including a brake disc, two pistons, and durable friction material.
Landing Gear Brake Assembly Components
Commercial, business, and military aircraft require high-quality, high-functioning brake sleeves, torque tubes, back plates, and discs that are equally reliable in both low-stress and high-intensity situations.
Brakes for Homebuilt Aircraft
Many homebuilt aircraft rely on high-performance braking systems designed for normal operations as well as short takeoff and landing (STOL), with some aircraft coming to a complete stop less than fifteen feet from the touchdown site in competition events.
