Description

Matco Aircraft Landing Systems produces a superior 5″ inch wheel and brake assembly for use with aircraft requiring less than 1420 lbs per wheel. This model uses 1.25 inch TAPER/ROLL bearings. (Check the product comparison table for other bearing and caliper configurations).

DIMENSIONS – The W51L is a 5″ inch wheel with 4.52 inch width with an additional 1.26 inch caliper spacing. Bearing spacing is 2.98 inches and axle spacing is 1.24 inches. The total weight of this wheel and brake assembly is 6.6 pounds. The bearing axle diameter is 1.25 inches.

FEATURES – The W51L is centrifugally cast utilizing 535 aluminum alloy for superior strength and corrosion resistance. This alloy provides a light weight wheel and affords many years of efficient performance. The W51L features the WHLB5 brake assembly. The WHLB5 brake uses a 1.5 inch diameter piston in a single caliper to provide a low profile package. This internal caliper design is favored for use in many retractable gear systems for it’s low profile compared to external caliper designs when low drag and clean lines are desired. The wheel is designed with 5.00-5 aircraft style tires. (Specify the W50L for use with 11x400x5 ‘Lamb’ type tires). The WHLA1 axle or WHLAXLE1 axle assembly (includes axle, nut, and washer) are designed to be used with the W51L.
