Recessed annular and radial rib geometry improves brake lining carrier engagement at low pressure while limiting damping material wear at high load.
A segmented brake hub layout cuts axial brake size, prevents hub rotation, and feeds lubrication oil to friction plates without stagnation.
A parking brake built into the swing reducer holds the upper swing body securely with hydraulic or electric swing drives, including on slopes.
Meshed gears and a rotating friction pack move oil to remote brake chamber and upper shaft areas without added pumps, valves, or plumbing.
A pocketed structural core and bossed friction pads separate strength from friction while improving heat conduction and brake disc durability.
A thermally coupled torque tube carries brake torque and heat into the landing gear bogie, lowering brake thermal loads and hardware complexity.
A radially overlapping spring and hydraulic chamber shrink clutch axial length while preserving smooth, accurate friction plate engagement.
