herkfixer Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Another upgrade that they are doing to the Herk's are carbon fiber mlg wheel brakes and new wheels that have better cooling for the brakes. The wheels are now split rim, with an internal snap ring holding the 2 rims together. 73, Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larry myers Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 You know you have been around a long long time when you witness your acft. going through not one but two MLG brake upgrades. Recall sometime during 1966/67 when all Es went from single disc brakes to the now obsolete multi disc brakes. Then they represented a huge improvement in stopping power over the single disc brakes. And maintenance was happy as they almost never leaked and service life was much longer. My guess is these brakes will become a favorite of air and ground crews. Stopping distance should be shorter and they should take much more abuse. Additionally, MTBF should increase and brake maintenance should become a rare occurance.

Metalbasher Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Maybe a bit of a misnomer...these new wheels are still aluminum (2014-T6 aluminum) and not composite, just a completely different design...boltless. The brakes are carbon disc. You know you have been around a long long time when you witness your acft. going through not one but two MLG brake upgrades.

c130boy Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 tyre are same or different size and part no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c130boy Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 how about the shutlle valve p/n. somebody can tell me...are we can use the old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoedog Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Tires are the same p/n As far as the shuttle valve and and bleeders, I know it was brought up to the engineers about going back to the legacy setup to save money and do away with the quick disconnects, but they said no. Even though we aren't able to use the Quick Disconnects as they were advertised because they say that let .2CC of air into the system when you connect them and that is what is causing the creep issue, although 3,000 PSI is 3,000 PSI regardless if its hydro, air, or unicorn piss. And there is no real way to do an anti-skid ops check or pressure check with the bleeders that come with the carbon brakes since the 3-4 union doesn't fit the new bleeders, so we have to put the legacy fittings in the new brake just to do an ops check. The brake is good, but it has a few flaws that the engineers don't want to admit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 So… we are soooo new to these carbon brakes… where do I find the tech data, 202, bulletin or whatever for installing the bearings and seals?? We currently don’t have detailed info for this. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalbasher Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 The new split wheel is PN 3-1660, see IPB TO 4W1-3-7-4 and 4W1-3-7-2 for Mx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjw37 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Does anyone know the part number for the new split rim seal? I'm working with the Niger Air Force and we're still trying to get a copy of the IPB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
