Royco® LGF (Landing Gear Fluid) is a premium, mineral oil-based hydraulic fluid dyed red, engineered specifically for use in aircraft landing gear shock struts. Formulated with high-quality mineral basestock and an advanced additive package, this specialized fluid is designed to meet the rigorous demands of Boeing's landing gear specifications. Royco LGF contains unique anti-wear agents, extreme pressure additives, and highly effective friction modifiers designed to eliminate "stiction" (slip-stick) during strut compression and extension. Additionally, it features robust rust and oxidation inhibitors alongside shear-stable viscosity index improvers, ensuring smooth, predictable dampening performance under extreme structural loads and diverse flight environments.

Approved Specifications & OEM Conformance:
Royco LGF Red is fully qualified and approved under major commercial and civil aviation engineering standards:
- The Boeing Company: Fully qualified to Boeing Material Specification BMS 3-32, Type II (Landing Gear Fluid)
- Douglas Aircraft: Conforms to McDonnell Douglas DMS 2112 specifications
- Baseline Specification Alignment: Formulated as a highly modified, super-clean variant of MIL-PRF-5606, specifically optimized for dampening configurations
Key Features & Performance Benefits
- Anti-Stiction Technology: Features proprietary friction modifiers that drastically reduce slide friction, ensuring seamless, non-binding piston travel on heavy strut assemblies.
- Superior Shear Stability: Designed to withstand intense mechanical shearing within high-pressure shock struts without suffering viscosity loss or structural thinning.
- Active Metal Protection: Formulated with premium rust and corrosion inhibitors to safeguard internal cylinder walls, high-strength steel pistons, and sensitive metallic valves from moisture damage.
- Extreme Cold Performance: Highly optimized viscosity profile allows fluid flexibility down to -65°F (-54°C), preventing dampener locking or sluggish responses during high-altitude cold soaking.
- Elastomeric Seal Compatibility: Engineered to preserve the physical properties of standard synthetic rubber and nitrile seals, eliminating premature seal shrinking or leaks.
Typical Applications
- Aircraft Shock Strut Charging: The primary fluid used for servicing and refilling main and nose landing gear shock struts (oleo struts) across commercial fleet networks.
- Vibration Dampening Systems: Deployed in heavy mechanical dampers and airframe taxi-stabilizers requiring a high-adhesion, anti-wear mineral fluid.
- Aviation Hydraulic Shock Absorbers: Ideal for protecting hydraulic actuator components subjected to extreme impact pressures during aircraft landings.

4. Special Customer Requirements
We understand that certain projects, maintenance schedules, or regulatory standards require strict specifications. If your order has specific shelf-life requirements, please proceed as follows:
How to Request: If you require a specific Date of Manufacture (DOM), Date of Expiration (DOE), or a specific minimum shelf-life percentage (%), you must clearly state this requirement:
In the Comments/Notes section when placing an online order.
Explicitly written on your Purchase Order (PO) or quote request email for offline orders.
Validation Process: Once your requirement is received:
We will ship your order if the available stock matches your specifications.
If we do not have the exact batch, we will contact you prior to shipping with the shelf-life percentage (%) or dates we have available for your acceptance.
