Marsh Brothers Aviation M1007 - Aerostar MLG Trunnion Kit
The Marsh Brothers MLG Trunnion Kit, approved by both FAA and TCCA, offers a revolutionary solution for Aerostar aircraft owners seeking to eliminate the need for greasing the main landing gear (MLG) trunnion joints. This innovative kit utilizes AeroTough® GF (Grease-Free) bushings to deliver a series of significant advantages:
Addressing the Challenges of Traditional Landing Gear:
Conventional landing gear designs rely on metal bushings at critical connection points. These joints require periodic lubrication to function optimally. However, achieving proper lubrication in these often hard-to-reach areas can be a significant challenge.
• Improper Lubrication Risks: Inadequate or missed lubrication can lead to metal-to-metal contact within the joint, accelerating wear and tear on the bushings and pins. A seized joint can occur in the worst-case scenario, potentially compromising landing gear functionality.
• Difficulties in Monitoring Lubrication: Verifying proper lubrication can be another hurdle. The absence of grease emerging from the joint's edges often indicates insufficient lubrication, necessitating disassembly for inspection and potential regreasing.
The Marsh Brothers Advantage: Maintenance-Free Efficiency
The Marsh Brothers MLG Trunnion Kit eliminates these concerns entirely. By replacing traditional metal bushings with AeroTough® GF bushings, the kit offers a permanent solution:
• Eliminates Greasing Needs: AeroTough® GF bushings' self-lubricating properties render manual greasing completely unnecessary. This translates to significant time savings and reduced maintenance costs for aircraft owners.
• Improved Accessibility: Difficult-to-reach lubrication points become a non-issue with AeroTough® GF bushings.
• Prevents Metal-to-Metal Contact: The bushings' inherent lubricity ensures consistent lubrication, eliminating the risk of metal-to-metal contact and associated wear.
• Durable and Long-Lasting: AeroTough® GF bushings are designed for extended service life, minimizing the need for replacements.
KEY BENEFITS:
• Reduced Maintenance Costs: Eliminating greasing translates to significant cost savings over time.
• Improved Efficiency: Reduced maintenance time allows for more efficient aircraft operation.
• Enhanced Reliability: Consistent lubrication minimizes wear and tear, promoting reliable landing gear performance.
• Peace of Mind: Eliminating concerns regarding missed or inadequate lubrication provides pilots and aircraft operators peace of mind
The Marsh Brothers MLG Trunnion Kit represents a significant advancement in landing gear maintenance for Aerostar aircraft. By embracing this innovative solution, owners can achieve a more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective maintenance experience.
