Shock Absorber
Robust hydraulic-pneumatic shock absorber for F-16 landing gear, built to handle extreme vertical loads during landing and taxiing while reducing airframe stress and enhancing ground stability.
Key Features:
✔️ Nitrogen-charged hydraulic-pneumatic system
✔️ High-strength alloy body with corrosion-resistant finish
✔️ Responsive piston mechanism for adaptable load dampening
✔️ Temperature-resistant seals to prevent fluid leakage
✔️ Modular structure for simplified maintenance and replacement
✔️ Reduces bounce, vibration, and structural fatigue
Shock Absorber
The Shock Absorber used in F-16 aircraft is built for high-performance load dampening during landing and taxiing. Engineered with a hydraulic-pneumatic configuration, it includes a nitrogen-charged chamber and precision-sealed fluid reservoir. The outer housing is constructed from high-strength alloys to withstand vertical impact forces while maintaining weight efficiency. Internal piston mechanisms allow dynamic responsiveness to both light and heavy ground contact.
This absorber offers consistent stroke compression and rebound under varying loads, making it adaptable to both training sorties and high-weight tactical landings. It is treated with corrosion-resistant coatings and features temperature-tolerant seals that prevent fluid leakage even under rapid descent cycles. Its modular design supports ease of replacement during maintenance without compromising structural integrity.
The Shock Absorber is installed on the main and nose landing gears of the F-16, where it functions to absorb vertical loads during takeoff and landing. It protects the airframe from sudden impact stresses and reduces fatigue on adjoining components. By minimizing vibration and bounce during ground roll, it contributes to a stable aircraft trajectory during high-speed landings.
Parts like this are mission-critical and sourced by Tactical Supply Pakistan, a brand recognized for delivering components that meet the highest operational and endurance standards required by the F-16 fleet worldwide.
How often should a shock absorber be replaced on an F-16?
Replacement depends on usage intensity and inspection reports but is generally recommended after a defined number of hard landings or when damping performance drops below acceptable thresholds.
