AeroShell Landing Gear Fluid (LGF)AeroShell Landing Gear Fluid (LGF) is a mineral hydraulic fluids MIL-PRF-5606 to which additional additives have been added to improve theextreme pressure characteristics and the fluids natural lubricity. The lubricity agentprovides a stable thin film layer to the metal surfaces at mild operating conditions. When severeconditions exist (landing/touchdown), the extreme pressure additive supplies the load carryingneeded at the metal-to-metal surfaces to prevent the occurrence of such phenomena as ladder cracking andslip stiction of the piston componentof the landing gear.
AeroShell LGF is AeroShell Fluid 41 plus additives.AeroShell SSF and LGF are straw yellow in colour.
ApplicationsAeroShell LGF make it particularly suitable in areas of lowtemperature operations. AeroShell SSF and AeroShell LGF are compatible with eachother as well as with AeroShell Fluids 4, 41 and 71.
