061-01800 – Cleveland OEM Replacement Two Piston Brake Cylinder

Available now on the Airparts.aero Marketplace.

Overview

The Cleveland 061-01800 is a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) two-piston brake cylinder, the primary structural housing for some of the most common brake caliper assemblies in general aviation. Engineered by Cleveland Wheels & Brakes (a division of Parker Hannifin), this component is a flight-critical part of the braking system. It is designed to house two opposing hydraulic pistons and transfer the immense clamping force required to slow the aircraft. Manufactured from a high-strength, pressure-cast aluminum alloy, the 061-01800 provides the structural integrity necessary to safely contain high hydraulic pressures while remaining lightweight.

Key Features

• High-Strength Aluminum Alloy Construction: Cast from a premium, aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, providing an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. It is engineered to withstand the high pressures of the hydraulic system and the torsional forces of braking without fracturing or deforming.
• Two-Piston Caliper Design: Serves as the main body for a two-piston caliper assembly. This design houses two pistons that actuate from opposite sides of the brake disc, providing even pressure and balanced clamping force on the brake linings for smooth, effective braking.
• Precision Machining: All surfaces, including the piston bores and mounting holes, are precision-machined to exacting tolerances. This ensures smooth piston travel, a proper seal with the piston O-rings, and perfect alignment with the torque plate and brake disc.
• Integrated Fluid Passages: Features internal fluid passages that direct high-pressure hydraulic fluid from the inlet port to both piston bores simultaneously, ensuring synchronized piston movement.
• Genuine Cleveland OEM Part: As the genuine OEM part, it guarantees the correct material alloy, heat treatment, and quality control specified for the 30-18, 30-27, and 30-9 brake assemblies, ensuring a certified and airworthy repair.

Applications

The 061-01800 is the foundational component for brake system repair and overhaul:

• Brake System Overhaul: The primary structural component used when overhauling a brake caliper assembly due to leaks, corrosion, or damage.
• Repair of Leaking Calipers: Replaced when the original cylinder is found to have corrosion pitting in the piston bores, which can damage seals and cause persistent leaks.
• Restoring Braking Performance: A key component in restoring firm and reliable braking action to an aging brake system.

Why Choose 061-01800?

The brake cylinder is the component that contains the high hydraulic pressure needed to stop the aircraft. A failure of this housing due to a crack or structural flaw would result in a complete and instantaneous loss of braking on that wheel. Using a genuine Cleveland 061-01800 OEM part is the only way to ensure you are installing a component with a certified, pressure-tested, and traceable manufacturing history. For a flight-critical system like the brakes, there is no substitute for the guaranteed safety and integrity of a genuine OEM part.

The 061-01800 brake cylinder is a direct application of Pascal's principle, which states that pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and the walls of the containing vessel. When the pilot presses the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder is transmitted to the 061-01800 cylinder. This pressure acts on the surface area of the two internal pistons. The resulting force (

F=P×A

, where P is pressure and A is the area of the piston face) drives the pistons outward, clamping the brake linings onto the disc. The high-strength aluminum housing is engineered to easily withstand this internal pressure and the equal and opposite reactive forces without yielding.

Note: This is a flight-critical component. Installation and assembly must be performed by a certified A&P mechanic in accordance with the Cleveland Wheels & Brakes maintenance manual. Always use new O-rings and seals during assembly. The system must be properly bled and leak-checked after installation.
