Explore the List of Aircraft Disk Brake Parts

Brake discs are a hardware component that is shaped like a disc and is keyed or bolted to each wheel of an aircraft. Disc brakes are typically constructed of carbon steel and nickel plating for strength and corrosion-resistant properties. There are different types and construction of aircraft brakes including the following: single disc brakes, dual-disc brakes, multiple-disc brakes, segmented rotor-disc brakes, and carbon brakes. This category encompasses all disc brakes and relative components, accessories, and assemblies.

Brake systems and discs are chosen based on the size, weight, and application of an aircraft. Disc brakes are also selected based on aircraft model, wheel assembly, and brake assembly. Smaller, single-engine aircraft generally utilize a single disc braking system. Larger, heavier aircraft including commercial aircraft tend to integrate multiple disc brakes or carbon disc brakes. Specialized aircraft, including multiple military aircraft series, is equipped with a rotor disc brake system. Common part types associated with brake discs include brake linings, bushings, gaskets, pins, screws, rivets, and others.
