RC Airplane Landing Gear Axles

This set supplies four steel axle shafts sized for RC airplane landing gear assemblies. Each piece combines a threaded section with a smooth bearing surface and ships with matching nuts for immediate installation.

Dimensions and Material

The threaded portion measures 15 mm long with an 8 mm diameter while the smooth section is 5 mm in diameter and 57 mm long giving a total length of 75 mm. Steel construction provides the strength required for repeated takeoff and landing loads.

Package Contents and Fit

Questions about this item

How do I install the 5/16" steel axle shaft on my RC airplane landing gear?

Slide the 57 mm smooth section through the landing gear mount, thread the 15 mm threaded end into the wheel hub, and secure it with the supplied nut. The step often missed is tightening the nut against the 5 mm smooth shoulder rather than the thread end.

What maintenance or replacement will the 75 mm axle shaft need over time?

Inspect the 5 mm smooth bearing surface and 8 mm thread for wear or corrosion after hard landings. Replace the shaft if the smooth diameter drops below 5 mm or the 15 mm thread strips, and always swap the locking nut at the same time.

What is the first limit that appears when the landing gear axle runs under sustained load?

The 5 mm smooth bearing section reaches its load limit before the 8 mm thread, so prolonged stress will show as oval wear on the 57 mm smooth length rather than thread failure.
