LIMITERS - REGULATOR
Pressure limiter for symmetrical braking
Its main feature is the anti-lock : the system reduces the ratio amount of pressure put in the system by the pilot / amount of pressure received at the brake.
Very useful at landing, it helps to prevent the wheel lock up and the nose over for taildraggers, in case of over-pressure on the master cylinder.
Therefore it reduces the stopping distances.
The limiter is included in most of the BERINGER Kits featuring a single braking circuit (sym- metrical braking).
The pressure setpoint is fixed for each model. You can choose different models depending on the airplane MTOW, the tire diameter, braking torque, ....
They are available for DOT4 or MIL brake fluid.
Caution : You must never mix the brake fluid : seals are different
ALIR anti-skid Regulator
A real advance in term of Safety
Adjustable anti-lock pressure regulator for differential or symmetrical braking
Double advantage
• Anti-lock : the regulator sets a maximal pressure in the system before the wheels lock up (or before a nose over for taildraggers)
• Inlinebraking : once the set point is reached, the pressure between left and right hand is balanced, with a tolerance of +/- 1bar or 14.5psi to allow steering corrections
Many accidents are caused by a bad braking handling.
The ALIR system improves the control and dosage of the brakes and still allows differential braking while the pressure remains below the setpoint. It prevents the wheel lock up at landing and the nose over for taildraggers, in case of over- pressure on the brake pedals. Therefore it reduces the stopping distances.
This regulator is included in most of the BERINGER Kits.
