Manufacturer's description
AeroShell Fluid 51 is a synthetic hydrocarbon and ester-based fluid for use in hydraulic systems which require reliable operation in extreme low and high temperatures as well as performance outside the capability of traditional MIL-PRF-5606 mineral based fluids. AeroShell Fluid 51 is formulated with high technology additives to provide oxidation and corrosion resistance, anti-wear, and anti-foaming protection. AeroShell Fluid 51 is superclean filtered to ensure optimum performance in particulate monitored systems. AeroShell Fluid 51 is dyed red. The useful operating temperature range is -54 0C to +200 0C.
Applications
- AeroShell Fluid 51 is recommended for use in aircraft, ordnance and missile systems operating from –54 0 C to +200 0 C.
- This fluid should be considered for use in auto pilots, shock absorbers, brakes, flight control systems, hydraulic servo- control systems and other systems using synthetic elastomer seals.
- This fluid is especially recommended for use in high altitude aircraft that normally operate with extended loiter times and high endurance levels such as UAVs and ELINT systems. AeroShell Fluid 51 is a synthetic hydrocarbon oil and should not be used in contact with incompatible seal materials.
- AeroShell Fluid 51 is compatible with the other AeroShell hydraulic fluids and can be used in systems designed to operate with MIL-PRF-5606, MIL-PRF-83282 and MIL-PRF- 46170 fluids.
- Chlorinated solvents should not be used for cleaning hydraulic components which use AeroShell Fluid 51. The residual solvent contaminates the hydraulic fluid and may lead to corrosion.
