Aircraft wheel

aluminum

Overview
BERINGER wheels are machined from high-strength aluminum billet to reduce mass compared with cast wheels. They are designed for tubeless tires to eliminate inner tubes and save weight. Wheels receive an anodized finish for corrosion protection; standard colors are red and black. Other anodized colors are available on request for additional cost and lead time.

Wheels

• Available sizes: 4", 5", 6", 8", 10" and 12"
• Material: machined from high-strength aluminum billet
• Tire compatibility: designed for tubeless tires (no inner tube)
• Finish: anodized for corrosion resistance
• Standard colors: red and black; custom anodized colors available on request

Brake technology

• Caliper: fixed
• Rotor: floating rotor keyed into the wheel flange; floats to maintain alignment as pads wear
• Floating rotor benefits: maintains even contact with brake pads and limits heat transfer to wheel and tire
• Stainless steel clips: prevent the rotor from wearing the aluminum wheel flange
• Brake pads: bonded (not riveted) to back plates to maximize usable pad material; long lasting with a high coefficient of friction

Advantages

• Reduced brake fade: BERINGER pad compound is formulated to maintain or improve friction as temperature rises
• Lightweight construction due to tubeless design and billet machining
