APS is a leading manufacturer of FAA-PMA replacement brake products for the aviation industry. Our BlackSteel ^tm discs are one piece forgings, eliminating the failure of the weld on our competitors' products. APS BlackSteel ^tm forged discs use an advanced heat treating process to provide optimum braking performance and strength which enhances safety margins, durability and value. Reduction of corrosion, pitting, rusting, and longer service life equates to increased utilization and lower operating costs. APS also manufactures metallic and semi-metallic/organic brake linings which utilize the latest in friction material technology. Our unique use of Kevlar® fibers as a bonding ingredient has allowed APS to offer a brake lining that significantly increases service life and durability without changing the coefficient of friction required for proper braking performance.
