AEROSHELL SSF AND LGF
AeroShell Shock Strut Fluid (SSF) and AeroShell Landing Gear Fluid (LGF)
are mineral hydraulic fluids (MIL-PRF-6083 and MIL-PRF-5606 respectively)
to which additional additives have been added to improve the extreme
pressure characteristics and the fluid’s natural lubricity. The lubricity agent
provides a stable thin film layer to the metal surfaces at mild operating
conditions. When severe conditions exist (landing/touchdown), the extreme
pressure additive supplies the load carrying needed at the metal-to-metal
surfaces to prevent the occurrence of such phenomena as "ladder cracking"
and "slip stiction" of the piston component of the landing gear.
