Nose wheel assemblies are a third wheel located under the nose of the aircraft with a tricycle configuration. They can be steerable or free castoring to assist with control when landing and to maneuver while on the ground.
Nose wheels are designed to support a portion of the load requirements for the aircraft along with the main wheels. The nose wheel can be equipped to provide a means of steering control.
Wheels are made from either aluminum or magnesium castings, or aluminum forgings. Cleveland’s wheels are the divided type, incorporating an inner and outer wheel half, plus a disc, which are fastened together with tie bolts, washers, and nuts. The wheel rotates on two tapered roller bearings which seat in bearing cups, shrink fitted into the hubs. Molded grease seals provide protection and lubricant retention for the bearings. Hubcaps, when used, are secured to the outboard wheel half by a snap ring and screws.
