    The wheel brake is a multi-disc brake located on the main landing gear of the Airbus A330. It uses hydraulic pressure to push pistons against a pressure plate, squeezing rotor and stator discs together to slow the wheel. When pressure is released, retraction mechanisms pull the pistons back apart to allow free wheel rotation. The brake includes components like a piston housing, torque tube, heat pack, and temperature sensor to control braking and manage heat.

    The wheel brake is a multi-disc type. The primary components of the wheel brake are a piston housing,
    a torque tube and a heat pack. The piston housing and the torque tube are attached to each other. A
    torque pin connects the piston housing to a brake rod on the MLG to hold the piston housing stable.
    The piston housing has two internal, independent fluid passageways and also includes two
    independent sets of piston assemblies. One set is for the Normal braking system and the other is for
    the Alternate braking system. The piston housing also includes a half coupling and a bleed valve for
    each braking system. The hydraulic pressure in the housing makes the related pistons extend. They
    supply the mechanical force necessary to put the brakes on.
    Each piston assembly has a piston and a retraction mechanism contained in a piston sleeve. Screw
    threads safety the piston sleeve and the hydraulic fluid lubricates these threads. The sleeve contains a
    scraper ring that cleans the piston as it retracts and prevents contamination of the hydraulic fluid. It
    also includes a stop that keeps the piston travel to a limit.
    The retraction mechanism includes a draw pin, a spring, an adjuster tube and a ball. The mechanism
    makes the piston go back to its initial position when the brakes are released. It also makes allowances
    for wear and keeps the distance between the piston and the pressure plate constant.
    The torque tube transmits the brake torque from the stator discs to the piston housing when the brakes
    are put on. The heat pack is installed on the torque tube. The heat pack contains carbon-composite
    components that include rotor discs, a pressure plate, stator discs and an end plate. The pressure
    plate and the stator discs have slots in the inner edge that engage splines on the torque tube. The rotor
    discs have slots in the outer edge, which engage with the torque bars installed in the MLG wheel.
    Two wear pins are attached to the pressure plate. These pins show through the piston housing and
    move into the piston housing as the heat pack components wear.
    A temperature sensor is installed in the torque tube of the brake, to measure the temperature of the
    heat pack Ref. AMM D/O 32-47-00-00. The electrical connector is attached to the piston housing.
    Heat shields are installed between:
    - the heat pack and the wheel
    - the torque tube and the axle
    When hydraulic pressure is supplied to the piston assemblies it pushes the pistons (from the piston
    housing) against the pressure plate. The pressure plate pushes the stator and rotor discs together and
    against the end plate. The friction between the components of the heat pack decreases the wheel
    speed.
    When the hydraulic pressure is released, the retraction mechanism in each piston assembly pulls its
    related piston back. This lets the stator and the rotor discs move apart and lets the wheel turn freely.
