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. Without these units Wheel & Tire’s production is reduced to 25% of normal operation potentially causing supply chain delay. This is a FY25 requirement. Please see Statement of Need for more details.
