Marsh Brothers Aviation M1004 - Aerostar MLG Oleo Kit
The Marsh Brothers MLG Oleo Kit offers a comprehensive solution for improving the performance and reducing maintenance requirements of your aircraft's main landing gear oleo struts. This FAA and TCCA approved kit utilizes innovative materials and design features to deliver several key benefits:
• Enhanced Sealing Integrity: The kit incorporates Marsh Brothers' proprietary AeroTough® GF non-metallic components, including the floating piston, upper bearing (cap), and lower bearing/gland. These components not only contribute to weight reduction but also provide superior sealing characteristics compared to traditional O-rings. This translates to a significant reduction in leaks and the associated need for frequent gear re-servicing.
• Improved Performance in Cold Weather: Traditional O-ring seals are susceptible to leaks in cold weather conditions. The Marsh Brothers kit utilizes a V-ring polymer seal with upward-facing lips, offering superior resilience and leak resistance compared to O-rings, particularly in low temperatures.
• Reduced Empty Weight: The use of AeroTough® GF non-metallic components contributes to a measurable reduction in the aircraft's empty weight. This can offer potential benefits in terms of performance and payload capacity.
• Elimination of "Flat Struts": The kit addresses a known issue with OEM pistons sticking in the bore, which can lead to "flat struts" that are unable to absorb landing impact properly. The inclusion of a floating piston with opposing lip seals effectively eliminates this problem.
Important Installation Note: To ensure proper performance and prevent damage to the lower floating piston seal, it is crucial to carefully de-burr the inner edges of the fluid transfer holes in the top of the steel piston before installation. A Dremel tool with a small sanding drum is recommended for this task.
By incorporating the Marsh Brothers MLG Oleo Kit, you can significantly improve the reliability, performance, and maintainability of your aircraft's landing gear system.
