RAPCO produces quality FAA-PMA approved replacement organic and metallic brake linings for Cleveland and McCauley brake assemblies on most general aviation aircraft. Organic linings are actually made from a semi metallic mix. RAPCO combines brass, copper and Kevlar fibers with a high temperature binding compound to provide outstanding performance and long service life. Most RAPCO organic linings have a built in wear indicator, which reduces the risk of damage to the brake disc and helps to optimize lining life. RAPCO organic linings are available in boxes of 10 or in organic lining kits containing the proper number of linings and rivets necessary for replacement on Cleveland or McCauley brake assemblies. They are convenient to have on hand when the need for relining occurs. Metallic lining replacements for the Cleveland brake assemblies are made of sintered steel, a specially developed process that fuses metallic particles to a steel carrier plate. RAPCO metallic linings offer long life and excellent braking performance.

RAPCO Brake Rivets are FAA-PMA approved quality tubular rivets produced from plated steel for mounting aircraft brake linings. The RAPCO RA825 Rivet Tool Kit is recommended for proper installation.

Parker Hannifin (Cleveland Aircraft Wheel & Brake Division) designs and manufactures wheel assemblies for worldwide aircraft markets. Their wheels, used in conjunction with tires, provide support for the weight of the aircraft. Combined with brakes, they assist in directional and stopping control during aircraft ground maneuvers, taxi, takeoff, and landing. Cleveland Wheels and Brakes brand products are used on more than 80 percent of general aviation aircraft while their wheel assemblies  are now offered for military and business aviation applications. Cleveland's different product lines include both aircraft wheel and wheel and brake assemblies for nose and main wheels to meet a variety of application requirements.

AIRFRAMES ALASKA designs and manufactures ALASKAN BUSHWHEEL (ABI) wheels & brakes and tires made for flying and landing off-field in the most rugged backcountry conditions. ABI tires absorb the energy of rough landings, taking the brunt of the impact off the pilots, wheels, gear, and airframe. Unlike your standard aircraft tires, Bushwheels are tubeless. This distinctive design eliminates the problem of tire slippage and stem shearing and makes it possible to run these tires at very low PSI. Different models are offered to suit needs of aircraft operating conditions. ABI tires are FAA TSO C62d approved. Models are available in the following versions and fit standard 6" wheels unless otherwise mentioned:

Standard thread: 3/16"

Heavy thread: 1/4". Heavy tread 26" ABI tires are constructed with a thicker tread layer. Suitable for pilots operating their aircraft on pavement between backcountry flights.

The 26" ABI tires are designed and handcrafted for use on lighter aircraft such as Cessna 182 & Cessna 206. They're also the ideal "entry level" bush tires for pilots upgrading from standard tube type aviation tires for the first time.

A step up in terms of size, 29" ABI tires have a slighter profile and create less drag than larger Bushwheels. This places these bush tires in size/weight sweet spot for heavier aircraft like Cessna and Maule while still providing the footprint and energy absorption critical in bush landings. 

The 31" ABI tires are handcrafted featuring an impressive ratio of weight to size. Their solid footprint makes these bush tires the de facto standard for bush pilots.

The 35" ABI tires are designed for the most rugged off-airport operations. They require ABI 10650 10" wheels.

The 35" Beaver ABI tires stand up to the heavier load of de Havilland Beaver and Pilatus aircraft with a gross weight up to 5600 lbs (2800 static load rating per tire).

TOST Flugzeuggerätebau designs and manufactures top quality products including aircraft wheels, brakes, tires, tubes, glider towing and launching equipment and tow releases serving the needs of aviation sports and industry. TOST and TOST AERO brands for tires are synonyms for safety in aviation. 

For more than 30 years TOST has manufactured aircraft tires from 3" to 10" exclusively under the TOST AERO brand with a long lifetime, robustness and capability for high loads and speeds. TOST AERO tires and tires from other brands can be used with TOST wheels designed to cover a wide range of applications in gliders, motor gliders, aircraft, ultralight, amphibium aircraft, helicopters and gyrocopters but also in heavy-duty applications. Matching tire tubes with different valves and valve extensions are also offered by TOST to cover application requirements.

Aircraft braking systems serve a vital function during takeoff, landing and taxiing. Along with landing gear, aircraft wheels and brakes are critical to ensure safe and reliable aircraft ground operations under extreme forces, stress, as well as wear and tear from general operation and the environment. Commercial aircraft brakes are arranged in multiple disk pairs commonly referred to as Heat Sinks or Heat Packs (as they convert the kinetic energy of the moving airplane to heat energy). Initially made metal (steel) heat sinks are gradually replaced by those from carbon fibres (particularly on larger, long-haul commercial airplanes) due to their higher efficiency in braking applications, longer life-span, lower weight and resulting less fuel consumption and lower CO2 emission by the engines. 

Carbon and steel heat packs and parts are offered as part of our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines. Sourced from quality suppliers these heat packs  feature high quality, safety, improved design, significant cost savings and fast deliveries. They can be used as  cost effective alternatives in many commercial aircraft platforms equalling or exceeding standards of  respective OEM products by leading manufacturers such as Honeywell Aerospace, Collins Aerospace/Goodrich Wheels & Brakes, Parker Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems and Safran Landing Systems (formerly Messier-Bugatti-Dowty). They are  PMA approved (*) parts by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) for use on an extensive list of Western and Eastern commercial (civil ) aircraft platforms including Boeing, Airbus, McDonnell Douglas, Ilyushin and others and are currently installed in aircraft operating by different air transport operators in China and other countries in the Middle-East, South and Central Asia and Africa.

Typical Aircraft Applications for steel and carbon heat packs include Boeing 737 / 757, Airbus A318 / A319 / A320 / A330 , McDonnell Douglas: MD82 /MD90  Xian MA60 etc. 

(*)  Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) is a combined design and production approval granted by a competent Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to a manufacturer of aircraft parts for modification and replacement. Use of Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) approved parts in other countries depends on existing bilateral agreements between CAAC and respective competent authorities in these countries.

GROVE Wheels and Brakes are precision engineered and manufactured to provide the highest quality and performance in the aircraft industry. GROVE wheels are manufactured in both aluminum and magnesium.  Aluminum wheels are more corrosion resistant than magnesium, are less expensive, but weigh more.  Both have the same strength and performance ratings. They are offered in sets (kits) in different sizes to comply with tire and axle sizes and static load ratings to match  the static aircraft gross weight on each wheel. GROVE brakes are offered for different braking torques, a function of the hydraulic system pressure and total caliper piston area, and with different kinetic energy capabilities. Aircraft with oversized tires or with a larger than normal engine should consider brake calipers with more or larger pistons. Different brake discs offered absorb the heat energy developed during braking.

Please refer to the Product Description section and the supplied documentation for additional information.

A grease seal, often called an oil or dirt seal, is a type of seal utilized to retain grease in a case or housing. Grease seals close spaces between stationary and moving components in mechanical equipment, helping prevent lubricant escape. Preventing harmful containments from entering machinery is another critical function of a grease seal. Oil and grease seals are available in numerous lip materials. Popular materials include felt, leather, urethane, nitrile, polyacrylate, ethylene-acrylic or polyacrylic, silicone, fluoro-elastomer, tetrafluoro-ethylene propylene and PTFE. Cleveland Grease Seals are intended for use in Cleveland Wheel Assemblies.
