Statement of Need
For
60 MXS/MXMTA
60th Maintenance Squadron/Wheel & Tire has a requirement to assemble multiple types of aircraft wheels to include C-17, C-5 and KC-46 main and nose wheel assemblies. To perform this task, we use a tilt cylinder wheel build-up stand paired with a twin-spindle torquing system meant for aircraft wheel assemblies. The current torque system is inoperative and requires upgrade due to replacement parts being unavailable. The wheel build-up stand in use has come to its end of life and requires replacement/upgrade. With this new unit matched side by side with our other replacement system Wheel & Tire’s production could increase exponentially. Additionally, this unit would act as a fail safe if the other unit once again went down for an extended period, allowing us to still maintain production standards, reducing the chances of any supply chain delay.
