“What operators are finding once
they have retrofitted our bearing
technology is that they no longer need
to buy phenolic or steel thrust washers.
As our rollers incorporate a polymer
washer as an integral part of the roller,
operational and maintenance costs
are reduced even further with this
simplified installation,” said Juan
Rivera, Marsh Brothers’ business
development manager. “A seized flap
roller can cost more than $20,000
in parts and labor alone if it leads
to damage to other components in
the flap system; going with polymer
bearings avoids several problems.”
Companies that have installed
MBA’s King Air flap roller kits to
date include Texas-based CSI
Aviation and Alaska’s Silver Sky.
International customers include Rise
Air, Sunwest, ASMC and Computel.
Australia’s CJ Aerospace and FixJet
have also installed the kit.
