Aerotek - Aircraft Wheel-Hub Repairs, Landing Gear and Hydraulic Components

Aerotek has a worldwide reputation for top quality, repair and overhaul of landing gear, hydraulic components and wheel reworks, on time, at very attractive prices. This has lead to Aerotek receiving a multi-million pound contract from an overseas government to overhaul their regional commuter aircrafts' landing gear for the next ten years.

Aerotek's services include AOG component and gear repairs, on-site servicing repairs, ad-hoc component testing and inspection, and NDT.

Aerotek is the major wheel-hub repair machining shop in the UK: we repair most aircraft wheels, including all Boeing and Airbus wheels.

These repairs include manufacturing and fitting bearing cup liners, and bushing of both ends of brake torque bar holes. Foreign body damage to the external surface of the bearing housing is a specialist machining process.
