BERINGER WHEELS: advanced technology
- High strength aluminum alloy machined from solid on CNC, anodized for optimal corrosion resistance.
- TUBELESS wheel with O-rings and rigid valve.
- SEALED BALL BEARINGS for optimal durability: greased for life, no maintenance.
- Very low rolling resistance.
BRAKE CALIPERS:
- covered by AEROTEC® Patents
- 2 or 3 stainless steel polished pistons
- body made of aerospace alloy to withstand high temperatures (>200Mpa at 200°C)
- available for DOT4 fluid OR for MINERAL (MIL FLUID) (seals are different; specify and never mix)
- 2 inputs, thread size M10x1
- full metallic brake pads (no rivets) for extended life
- covered by AEROTEC® patents
- stainless steel disc or high strength steel disc with coating
- brake discs are made of highest quality material for thermal stability and long life
How to choose your wheel & brake system:
- Select the size of tire that you need.
- Then select the wheel size required for this tire (use our application chart page 18).
- Check the static load rating: this is the weight on each wheel (at maximum static aircraft weight) that the wheel is capable of supporting.
- Check the kinetic energy rating: the first function of a brake system is to transform aircraft kinetic en-ergy into heat. This heat is absorbed and dissipated mostly by the disc (a thicker disc will absorb more heat energy).

CAUTION: static load valid only with appropriate tire |
We recommend first mounting of tires on wheels in our plant. This service, free of charge, includes a pressure test, ensuring maximum security of the assembly.
FINISH: Red anodizing is standard color for wheels, brakes and master cylinders. Other colors are available on special order with an extra delay at an additional cost per batch of parts: silver, black, yellow, titanium grey. Colors may vary..
