AeroShell Landing Gear Fluid (LGF) - 5 AG Pail (18

AeroShell Landing Gear Fluid (LGF) is a mineral hydraulic fluid (MIL-PRF-6083 and MIL-PRF-5606 respectively) to which additional additives have been added to improve the extreme pressure characteristics and the fluid's natural lubricity.

The lubricity agent provides a stable thin film layer to the metal surfaces at mild operating conditions. When severe conditions exist (landing/touchdown), the extreme pressure additive supplies the load carrying needed at the metal-to-metal surfaces to prevent the occurrence of such phenomena as ladder cracking and slip stiction of the piston component of the landing gear.

AeroShell LGF is AeroShell Fluid 41 plus additives.

Applications: Whilst the better low temperature properties of AeroShell LGF make it particularly suitable in areas of low temperature operations. AeroShell LGF is compatible with AeroShell Fluids 4, 41 and 71.
