We make brake rotors, discs, back plates, torque tubes, sleeves, pistons, and more. With our manufacturing and assembly expertise, we offer streamlined brake assembly services optimized for each unique application. We can execute quickly on changes to our customers’ design and manufacturing requirements, making NMG a leading American aircraft parts manufacturer that has earned the trust of Tier 1 aerospace companies and beyond.
Types of Aviation 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
In many cases, a homebuilt aircraft relies on a high-performance aircraft braking system 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.
