Overview
The Main Landing Gear Drag Link Bushing (P/N 1560-040-6774) is a critical wear component within the primary structure of the Beech T-34 Mentor's main landing gear system. This precisely machined bushing facilitates the smooth articulation and pivotal movement of the drag link, which is essential for retracting and extending the landing gear while also transferring operational loads from the landing gear strut to the airframe. Its function is to provide a low-friction bearing surface, allowing controlled motion and absorbing stresses, thereby preventing direct metal-on-metal wear between the drag link and its attachment points. Proper functioning of bushing 1560-040-6774 is paramount for the structural integrity and reliable operation of the aircraft's landing gear.Specifications
Precise specifications for the 1560-040-6774 bushing are detailed within the official Beechcraft T-34 Mentor Parts Manual and relevant maintenance documentation. While exact dimensional values are critical and must be verified against these sources, typical characteristics for this type of component include:- Material: Often manufactured from hardened steel, bronze, or specialized composite alloys, selected for wear resistance, load-bearing capability, and corrosion resistance in an aerospace environment.
- Inner Diameter (ID): Designed to precisely accommodate the connecting pin or bolt, ensuring a snug fit without excessive play.
- Outer Diameter (OD): Engineered for a specific interference or slip fit within its mating component, such as the drag link or airframe fitting.
- Length: Determined by the width of the joint it services, ensuring full bearing surface coverage.
- Flange (if applicable): Some designs may incorporate a flange for axial retention or thrust load distribution.
- Finish: May
- Stock: Out of Stock - On Backorder
