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.

MICHELIN® Aircraft Tyres is internationally recognized as the No.1 tire manufacturer in the world. The company provides bias tires, radial tires, and tubes for aviation customers around the world, in a range of applications including commercial and regional airlines, general aviation and military aviation. 

Michelin® AIR® Aircraft Tires offer just the right balance of performance and durability required by demanding pilots. The sidewall compound is optimized to provide maximum ozone and ultraviolet light protection, while the MX2000 tread compound is Michelin’s toughest. In addition, the new Air Cushion Inner Liner provides a protective cushion over the casing plies which guards against inner tube chafing. And the “Posi-Fit” bead construction reduces movement between the tire and the wheel for improved lateral stability. Offered in NEW or USED (RETREAD) (*) Condition.

Michelin® AIR® Aircraft Tires are designed to provide:

- a very long tire life and lower maintenance costs due to fewer tire changes

- exceptional balance for smooth taxiing,even wear, and heat resistance

- maximum protection against sidewall cracking caused by ozone and UV light

- excellent lateral stability and impact absorption, even under rough landing conditions

Product Features:

Deep Tread Depth: Thick rubber in the tread area helps provide for a long tire life. Contributes to lower maintenance costs due to fewer tire changes.

Unique Bead Construction: Provides a firm (tight) fit to help reduce movement between the tire and wheel. Helps improve lateral stability for a long tire life, even under rough landing conditions

Optimized Casing Design: Proprietary Michelin production processes help balance stresses within the tire structure. Strong, yet lightweight nylon cords are designed to exceed strict industry standards for overpressure strength. Results in an effi cient, lightweight product with excellent balance properties for smooth taxiing, even wear, and resistance to heat buildup for a long tire life.

Customized Rubber Compounds: Sidewall is optimized for both ozone and ultraviolet light protection which helps reduce ozone cracking in key areas of the tire. Provides our maximum amount of exterior wear and crack resistance for a long tire life.

Contoured Shoulder Design: Helps absorb lateral impacts associated with landing. Designed to help the tire achieve a full life, even under adverse conditions.

(*) Retread tires have undergone a remanufacturing process to replace the worn tread on used tires with new tread to help extend the life of the tire. The number of times the  tread has been replaced in the tire casing is indicated by a number just after the letter "R" in the product reference number (SKU), namely R1, R2, R3 and so on.

The company SPECIALTY TIRES OF AMERICA (formerly McCREARY TIRE & RUBBER providing automotive tires) manufactures a wide range of aircraft tires under different brands including SUPER HAWK®, AIR HAWK®, AIR TRAC®, AERO CLASSIC® & AERO TRAINER® as well as matching tire tubes. Different brands (series) briefly presented below are separately listed. For more information please refer to the supplied documentation.

SUPER HAWK® tires are the best choice when  the highest levels of performance and extra-long tread life are required. Designed to handle higher landing speeds and heavier loads, these tires combine advanced design & over 90 years of precision tire craftsmanship resulting in premium belted aircraft tires that surpasse FAA specifications and match the performance of more expensive brands.

AIR HAWK® tires are premium grade & priced tires, but provide longer service life. Excellent choice for a wide range of applications. Improved tread compounds and high-strength casings offer added wear resistance and an extra measure of security. AIR HAWK® tires are FAA approved and tested by thousands of pilots, delivering a reliable, cost-effective performance under a wide variety of takeoff and landing conditions. 

AIR TRAC® fine nylon cord narrow-ribbed, oval shaped tires are designed for soft field applications and rigidly tested to meet FAA Standard TSO-C62. The  AIR TRAC  tires consist an excellent choice for single engine, piston aircraft. Thesy are ideal for aircraft operated on grass strips while being perfectly usable on hard surfaces. These tires are are original equipment on many of today’s aircraft and offer a great performance in an economical tire. AIR TRAC® tubes are the perfect match to the AIR TRAC®  tires. 

AERO CLASSIC® tires are designed specially for classic planes including warbirds, DC-3's, and Beech 18's, often the only manufacturer producing tires for these aircraft. The product line includes over 50 tires and tubes, from 8" diameter for tailwheels, up to 56" diameter C-130 inner tubes. AERO CLASSIC® tubes are tested to MIL-I-5014F standard.

Although magnesium wheels and brakes are considerably lighter, magnesium is subject to corrosion and should not be used for amphibious operation. Only organic linings should be used on all brakes. All parts of the 500 x 5 size wheels and brakes for amphibians are constructed of anodized aluminum for water resistance (199-105). Their use is suggested if bearings are kept well greased. A reasonable service can be expected, but earlier bearing replacement should be anticipated. Alternatively, the use of  wheels and brakes with chrome plated bearings and brake disc and water drainage holes (199-105C) is recommended for best results in amphibious use. However, they are too costly for use on homebuilt aircraft.

CLEVELAND 199-105C TSO'd Wheel and Brake Assembly includes wheels with matching hydraulic chrome brake disks. Wheels with chrome brake discs are FAA-TSO approved under the original model number. 

Wheels come complete with bearings and wheel covers. Brake assembly has linings installed. Sold in pairs only. Best suited for amphibious operations.

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.
