APS BlackSteel brake discs are state-of-the-art CNC machined from a one-piece forging.

When the metal is forged, it creates a directional grain flow that follows the contour of the disc. This allows for a much stronger disc that has a reduced risk of the cracking and catastrophic failures associated with inferior welded designs.

The APS proprietary heat treatment has a two-fold purpose. The heat treatment strengthens the steel by bonding the carbon, oxygen and nitrogen in the top layer of the metal. This is not a coating that can wear off, as the steel itself is transformed. The heat treatment gives the steel its black appearance and provides the surface with a high resistance to the corrosion and oxidation associated with the extreme thermal cycling experienced in aircraft braking systems. This makes it an excellent choice for agricultural aircraft that work in a harsh, chemical environment, as well as for anyone who leaves their aircraft outside most of the time.

Brake linings, rivets and pins also sold separately. Any OEM or PMA linings can be used with APS discs.

FEATURES:

  • Less expensive by approximately 30% than OEM
  • Stronger due to the use of a premium quality alloy steel one-piece forging
  • Corrosion resistant because of the “BlackSteel®” proprietary heat treatment process
  • Approximately 30% longer wear if paired with patented APS linings
  • Most applications in stock

 

MORE INFORMATION:

More cost-effective:

  • Cost averages 30% less than the OEM factory parts they are replacing
  • APS discs paired with APS linings will achieve approximately 30% longer wear
  • Mix and match with other brands yields approximately 20% longer wear
  • Non-metallic linings are patented with Kevlar fibers that grip better and last longer

Stronger:

  • Made from a one-piece forging with a directional grain flow that follows the contour of the disc - no weld to break
  • Machining does not affect the strength of the unit as the directional grain flow remains intact and is not cut

Highly corrosion resistant:

  • The heat treatment strengthens the steel by bonding the carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen which makes the top layer of the disc highly resistant to corrosion
  • This is not a coating that will wear off – corrosion resistance remains through the lifetime of the brake
  • The heat treatment gives the steel its“BlackSteel®” appearance and provides a surface with a high-resistance to the corrosion and oxidation associated with the extreme thermal cycling experienced in aircraft braking systems
