DEF

A chemical product which appears under the form of a black crystalline solid, has a boiling point of 450°C, is found in nature and ground up into a fine powder to be used for its lubrication properties, and which owes its lubricity to a layer lattice structure in which cleavage and shear between adjacent laminae are extremely easy, and which also used as a catalyst.

OBS

Molybdenum disulfide is stable under a variety of environmental conditions; hence it is ideally suited for space application.

Subject field(s)
  • Closing Devices and Nozzles (Mechanical Components)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
  • Aircraft Systems
CONT

A small seepage around the packing gland is desirable for lubrication of the piston and should not be confused with a leak at this point. In case of leakage at the packing gland as evidenced by excessive fluid seepage or by air bubbles when soapy water is applied, the packing nut should be tightened firmly but not excessively. However, before tightening air pressure must be released, weight of airplane removed from the strut, and all safeties removed from the packing nut. The packing cannot be tightened properly under pressure, and if normal tightening does not stop the leakage, the packing must be replaced.
