RAPCO linings for Grumman Aircraft

Description

Rapco Linings

Rapco organic brake linings for Grummans are actually made from a semi-metallic mix.

RAPCO combines brass, copper and Kevlar fibers with a high-temperature binding compound to provide outstanding performance and long service life. RAPCO organic linings for Grumman Aircraft have a built-in wear indicator, which reduces the risk of damage to the brake disc and helps to optimize lining life.

Pair them with genuine heat-treated nickel plated Rapco disks to bring your Grumman up to factory new specifications.

When installing brake linings be sure to check aircraft’s maintenance manual for the proper torque value of backplate bolts. Over torquing can damage brake cylinders. After installing new brake linings or new brake discs the installer must confirm that the wheel assemblies rotate freely while properly jacked above the ground. If they do not turn freely the aircraft must not be returned to service until the problem has been resolved. Failure to do so can cause loss of aircraft control, reduced takeoff performance, or fire, possibly resulting in death, bodily injury, or property damage.
