KT135A.010

Application of KT135A.010 on Mi-24 and Be-30 / Be-32

The KT135A.010 wheel is installed on the main landing gear of Mi-24 family helicopters, including Mi-24V and Mi-35 variants, according to aircraft configuration and maintenance documentation. The source context also indicates use on Be-30 / Be-32 aircraft. The wheel supports aircraft loads during parking, taxiing, takeoff and landing rollout. Since landing gear configurations can differ by aircraft version, repair status and modernization, applicability should be confirmed through the aircraft parts catalogue, wheel-brake documentation and maintenance records.

KT135A.010 and 720 × 320 tube-type tire

KT135A.010 is designed for a 720 × 320 mm aircraft tire, with 15A or 15AM tire models referenced in the source context. The wheel is used with a tube-type tire and inner aircraft tube. The wheel assembly also includes a pneumatic charging valve for inflation and pressure maintenance. Since the wheel, tire, tube and brake are separate supply items, customer requests should be checked carefully: the buyer may need the bare wheel, a wheel with tire and tube, or the full KT135A.000 wheel-brake assembly.

Wheel construction and materials

The KT135A.010 wheel has a split rim construction with two half-rims joined by high-strength bolts around the mounting circumference. This design allows replacement of the tire and tube during maintenance. According to the source context, the wheel body is made from high-strength cast magnesium alloy with protective anti-corrosion coating to reduce unsprung mass while maintaining strength under landing and taxiing loads. The wheel may use tapered roller bearings to carry radial and axial loads during aircraft ground operation.

Integration with KT135A-030 brake

KT135A.010 works together with the KT135A-030 pneumatic disc brake installed inside the wheel assembly. The brake is actuated by compressed air and uses a friction disc package. The internal wheel profile has grooves / splines that engage with rotating metal-ceramic brake discs such as KT135.050. Stationary brake discs are fixed on the brake body, while the support / pressure disc closes the package and transfers force from the pneumatic piston or bellows. This integration allows the wheel and brake to operate as a complete braked landing gear unit.

Identification and ordering of KT135A.010

Before ordering KT135A.010, it is important to confirm whether the requirement is for the bare wheel, the complete KT135A.000 wheel with brake, or a wheel set with 720 × 320 tire and tube. The buyer should also specify aircraft type, required quantity, condition category, passport availability and documentation requirements. Related items may include KT135A-030 brake, KT135.050 rotating brake discs, stationary brake discs, support disc, tube, tire, valve, fasteners, bearings, sealing elements and rubber technical parts for wheel-brake maintenance.
