Aircraft Main Landing Gear Axle Thread Protector

Overview

The AKAM Aircraft Main Landing Gear Axle Thread Protector is designed to protect the threaded section of the wheel axle during maintenance operations. During wheel removal or installation, component handling, and workshop servicing, the axle thread is a precision surface that can be vulnerable to mechanical damage, contamination, or accidental tool contact. The protector is configured as a machined circular metal component with circumferential engagement features. Its internal geometry is intended to mate with the axle thread, covering the sensitive threaded surface once installed. External slots provide practical engagement points for controlled fitting and removal. Based on the supplied product image, the component includes identification markings such as a component code, revision marking, and reference number, which can support configuration control and tool traceability in a maintenance environment. The internal thread form and dimensions must be matched to the intended main landing gear axle. For final engineering release, the internal thread type and pitch, nominal diameter, alloy specification, surface treatment, overall dimensions, weight, and exact compatible aircraft models should be confirmed by AKAM TECHNIC Engineering.
