APS105‐00200 – Aviation Product Systems FAA-PMA Brake Lining Rivets

Available now on the Airparts.aero Marketplace.

Overview

The Aviation Product Systems (APS) APS105-00200 is an FAA-PMA approved brake lining rivet, engineered as a direct replacement for Cleveland P/N 105-00200. This is not a standard hardware rivet; it is a flight-critical fastener specifically designed to securely attach the friction lining material to its steel backing plate, creating a complete brake pad assembly. Manufactured from a specialized, soft steel alloy and plated for corrosion resistance, these rivets are designed to be set with a press, creating a strong, permanent bond capable of withstanding the immense shear forces and thermal stresses of aircraft braking.

Key Features

• Optimized Shear Strength: Fabricated from a specific steel alloy with a precisely controlled hardness and shear strength. The rivet is engineered to be strong enough to prevent the lining from shearing off the backing plate during maximum braking effort, yet soft enough to be properly set without fracturing.
• Corrosion-Resistant Plating: Plated with a durable finish to protect against corrosion from moisture and de-icing fluids, ensuring the integrity of the brake pad assembly over its full service life.
• Precision Dimensions: Manufactured to exacting dimensional tolerances for shank diameter and length. This ensures a perfect, snug fit in the pre-drilled holes of the brake lining and backing plate for a secure installation.
• Direct PMA Replacement: A certified FAA-PMA direct replacement for Cleveland P/N 105-00200, guaranteeing perfect form, fit, and function, providing an airworthy and cost-effective alternative to the original part.
• Proven Performance: Used extensively in the installation of APS "BlackSteel" brake linings and other PMA linings, with a long history of reliable service in the general aviation fleet.

Aircraft Compatibility

The APS105-00200 rivet is the specified fastener for some of the most common brake linings in general aviation, making it applicable to a vast range of aircraft that use Cleveland brake assemblies.

• Associated Brake Linings:
  • Used to install linings such as APS BlackSteel BSL66-07000 (replaces Cleveland 66-105) and BSL66-07500 (replaces Cleveland 66-113).
• Common Aircraft Manufacturers:
  • Cessna: 152, 172, 182, 206, 210, 310
  • Piper: PA-28, PA-32, PA-34 series
  • Beechcraft: Bonanza, Baron
  • Mooney: M20 series
  • And countless other aircraft utilizing compatible Cleveland brake systems.

Applications

The APS105-00200 is a critical component for brake system overhaul and maintenance:

• Brake Lining Installation: The only approved method for attaching a new, un-bonded brake lining to a reusable steel backing plate.
• Brake Overhaul: An essential component used by brake overhaul facilities and A&P mechanics when building up new brake pad assemblies.

Why Choose APS105-00200?

The bond between the brake lining and its backing plate is subjected to incredible shear forces. A failure of these rivets would cause the friction material to detach, resulting in an immediate and total loss of braking on that wheel. The APS105-00200 is an FAA-PMA approved rivet, meaning it has been tested to have the exact material and strength properties required for this flight-critical application. Using non-certified rivets from a hardware store is extremely dangerous and strictly prohibited, as they can shear off under load. For a safe and airworthy brake assembly, trust only certified PMA or OEM hardware.

The APS105-00200 is a type of semi-tubular rivet. During installation, the rivet is placed through the backing plate and the lining material. A press with a specifically shaped die then applies force to the tubular tail of the rivet. This force causes the tail to roll outward and downward, forming a "shop head" that securely clamps the lining to the plate. The shear strength of the rivet is a function of its diameter and the material's properties. The clamping force it provides is critical for preventing the lining from vibrating or shifting on the plate, which could cause it to crack or crumble prematurely. The entire process is designed to create a permanent, high-strength bond that can withstand the intense forces and thermal cycling of braking.

Note: This is a flight-critical component. Riveting of brake linings is a specialized maintenance task that must be performed by a certified A&P mechanic or a qualified brake overhaul facility in strict accordance with the component maintenance manual. The use of proper riveting tools and techniques is essential for a safe installation.
