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.

Please refer to the attached Application Guide for additional information.

MATCO mfg's PVPV series parking brake valves have been designed for installation in a wide variety of homebuilt aircraft applications due to their light weight and easy in-line installation . In-line installation can be used in conjunction with either a single or dual parking brake system set- up with the respective use of valves  PVPV-S or PVPV-D available in single or double sided configuration.

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. 

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).

AIRFRAMES ALASKA designs and manufactures ALASKAN BUSHWHEEL (ABI) FAA/PMA approved wheels & brakes and tires (separately presented) made for flying and landing off-field in the most rugged backcountry conditions. 

ABI FAA/PMA approved wheels and brakes include assembly kits as direct replacements for respective Cleveland wheel & brake assemblies, wheel assemblies, brake assemblies, brake calipers and other replacement parts.

For more information on ABI wheels and brakes please refer to the Product Description section and the supplied documentation.

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® AIRSTOP® Aircraft Tire Inner Tubes provide long-lasting, dependable performance you can rely on in just about any operating condition. Made from exclusive Michelin butyl compound they offer  extended air retention and can sustain temperatures as low as -50°C.  In addition, they are formed without a circumferential splice, resulting in fewer joints and a more uniform tubewall thickness after inflation for optimized reliability at a minimal weight.  AIRSTOP tubes are manufactured to exacting balance tolerances (without correction), which meet or exceed all industry standards. This eliminates the need to further balance the wheel assembly in order to compensate for balance irregularities in the tube. Tube lubricant is factory applied to the tube exterior for easier installation and to help minimize foldover after installation and inflation. Comply with Aerospace Standard AS50141. Available in different sizes. Please also refer to the attached documentation.

Product Features:

Advanced Butyl Material

Exclusive Michelin® butyl compound offers excellent resistance to diffusion for extended air retention and dependable performance. Michelin® AIRSTOP® tubes help provide the same high quality seal found in Michelin® AIR X® radial tires.

Circular Extrusion Manufacturing Process

A Michelin® exclusive, Michelin® AIRSTOP® tubes are formed without a circumferential splice, resulting in fewer joints and a more uniform tubewall thickness after inflation. This helps provide optimized reliability at a minimal weight.

Built-In Balance

All Michelin® AIRSTOP® tubes are manufactured to exacting balance tolerances (without correction), which meet or exceed all industry standards. This eliminates the need to further balance the wheel assembly in order to compensate for balance irregularities in the tube.

Easy Installation

Tube lubricant is factory applied to the tube exterior for easier installation and to help minimize foldover after installation and inflation. In addition, molded vent ridges help channel trapped air back to the valve stem for easy release.

Low Temperature Performance

Michelin® AIRSTOP® tubes are designed to perform in the extreme low operating temperature of minus 50o C, so you can confidently fly in cold weather with consistent, reliable performance.

High Quality Complies with Aerospace Standard AS50141.

For a number of years CLEVELAND WHEELS & BRAKES offered standard organic & heavy-duty asbestos brake linings for their wheels and brakes. In January 1988 these two types of brake linings were discontinued and a single, improved brake lining was introduced with improved performance and durability compared to older linings. Different versions are available to fit aircraft models based on their year of construction. Brake linings are sold as pad only or as kits together the required number of rivets. Most light aircraft take 2 linings per wheel. Extra rivets are also available. Please refer to the attached Application Guide for additional information.

Wheels, used in conjunction with tires, provide support for the tires and weight of the aircraft. Combined with brakes, they assist in directional and stopping control during aircraft ground maneuvers, taxi, takeoff, and landing. Brake assemblies and disc combinations are designed to properly and safely decelerate the aircraft under various conditions. Brake assemblies consist of one or more pistons depending upon the aircraft requirements.
