KT159-010 / KT159.010-1 nose aircraft wheel

KT159-010, also written as KT159.010-1 or KT159.010-2sb, is an aircraft nose wheel used on Il-76 family aircraft. Unlike the KT158.010 main braked wheel, this unit is installed on the front / nose landing gear of the aircraft. The wheel works as part of the nose landing gear wheel assembly and supports aircraft movement during taxiing, takeoff and landing rollout. It is associated with the steerable nose gear system and should not be confused with the main landing gear wheels installed on the main bogies.

Nose landing gear application of KT159-010

The KT159-010 wheel is intended for installation on the nose landing gear of Il-76 aircraft and related modifications. Application may include Il-76TD, Il-76MD and other Il-76 family aircraft, depending on aircraft documentation and configuration. According to the source context, the nose gear uses four wheels on one front landing gear strut. Since wheel installations can differ by aircraft version, maintenance status and modernization, applicability should be confirmed through the aircraft illustrated parts catalogue, landing gear documentation and wheel assembly records.

KT159.010 wheel and compatible tire size

KT159.010 is the drawing / part designation of the wheel assembly itself, not the tire marking. The wheel is designed for use with aircraft tire size 1100 × 330 mm, including compatible nose landing gear tires used on Il-76 aircraft. Tire references may include 14A type or equivalent aircraft tires according to documentation. Before supply, it is important to clarify whether the customer requires the wheel only, the wheel with tire, the tire only, or a complete nose wheel set prepared for installation.

Construction features of KT159-010

The KT159-010 nose wheel has a split rim construction. According to the source context, the rim consists of two half-rims made from a light and strong magnesium alloy and fastened with bolts around the circumference. This type of construction allows tire mounting and disassembly during maintenance. The wheel is intended for nose landing gear operation, where it supports steering loads, ground maneuvering loads and landing rollout loads. The condition of the rim, bolt joints, bearing seats and tire seating areas should be checked during inspection.

Associated components of the KT159-010 wheel assembly

The KT159-010 wheel may be referenced together with related nose landing gear components. KT159-020 is listed as an associated ring, while KT159-030 is referenced as a nose brake used in some nose gear configurations. The source context notes that the wheel is generally described as a nose, non-braked wheel, but in certain nose landing gear modifications it may be used together with a KT159-030 nose brake. For this reason, the exact aircraft configuration and required supply scope should be clarified before ordering.

Identification and ordering of KT159-010

Before ordering KT159-010, the required execution should be confirmed, especially KT159.010-1 or KT159.010-2sb. The buyer should also specify whether the request is for a wheel only, a wheel with 1100 × 330 tire, a full set for the nose landing gear, or related components such as KT159-020 or KT159-030. The item may be required for nose landing gear maintenance, operational replacement, overhaul stock or aircraft restoration. Documentation requirements, condition category, passport availability and quantity should be agreed before shipment.
