Aircraft Brakes
NMG Aerospace is a U.S.-based aerospace manufacturer specializing in precision machining, fabrication, and assembly of aircraft braking system components and landing gear modules for Tier 1 and Tier 2 OEMs across the commercial, military, business jet, rotorcraft, and specialty aircraft markets.
Unparalleled Precision in Brake Manufacturing
NMG Aerospace’s dedication to rigorous aerospace quality management at every stage of the manufacturing lifecycle results in high-performance aviation brake components that operate reliably in demanding runway, carrier, rotorcraft, and short-field environments.
Every element of an aircraft braking system plays a distinct and mission-critical role in deceleration, heat dissipation, and structural load transfer. Through advanced CNC machining, complex geometry capability, and aerospace-grade materials processing, NMG ensures each component meets strict dimensional tolerance, fatigue resistance, and thermal performance requirements.
Types of Aviation Brakes & Components
Aircraft Wheel Brakes
Aircraft wheel brakes must absorb extreme kinetic energy and dissipate high thermal loads during landing and rejected takeoff events. NMG Aerospace manufactures precision-machined wheel brake components — including rotors, discs, torque tubes, and structural brake elements — engineered for consistent friction performance, dimensional accuracy, and long-cycle durability across commercial, military, and business aircraft platforms.
Helicopter Rotor Brakes
Helicopter rotor brake systems are hydraulically actuated assemblies designed to safely stop and hold rotor systems during ground operations. NMG Aerospace produces tight-tolerance rotor brake discs, pistons, and structural components that ensure reliable rotor stoppage performance for commercial and military rotorcraft applications where safety, repeatability, and material integrity are critical.
Landing Gear Brake Assembly Components
Landing gear brake assemblies require structurally robust, precisely machined components capable of transferring load while withstanding repeated stress cycles. NMG Aerospace manufactures brake sleeves, torque tubes, back plates, and disc assemblies that integrate directly into OEM landing-gear systems, supporting aerospace compliance requirements and high-performance operational demands.
Brakes for Homebuilt & STOL Aircraft
Homebuilt and short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft demand lightweight, high-friction braking components capable of rapid deceleration in limited runway distances. NMG Aerospace machines durable, performance-driven brake system parts designed to deliver dependable stopping power and structural reliability for experimental, sport, and specialty aircraft applications.
