The LORD® fluid-free shimmy damper offers high-performance damping and vibration control with a zero-maintenance design. It uses surface-effect technology to provide consistent damping for fixed and retractable landing nose gears. Instead of using fluids to resist motion, the shimmy damper features a unique elastomer formulation to absorb the nose wheel shimmy. Since there is no fluid, this damper will never leak.

Features & Benefits : 

Efficient – Zero-maintenance, simple to use (two-bolt connection) that is compatible with many existing installations.

Valuable – Patented, the long-lasting design provides high reliability and lower total operating or maintenance costs.

Reliable – Large diameter shaft increases durability and reduces wear of nose gear linkages. No performance degradation over time and use.

Versatile – Consistent damping in a wide range of temperatures from -40° to 150°F
