AeroShell Fluid 41 Aircraft Hydraulic Fluid
AeroShell Fluid 41 is a premium, super-clean mineral hydraulic fluid designed for modern aircraft hydraulic systems requiring mineral-based hydraulic fluids.
Developed for demanding operating conditions, it combines exceptional fluid cleanliness with anti-wear additives, oxidation resistance, corrosion protection and excellent low-temperature performance.
The product is particularly suitable for hydraulic applications where maintaining a high level of fluid cleanliness can help improve component reliability and reduce the risk of system malfunctions.
Super-Clean Hydraulic Fluid
Hydraulic system reliability depends significantly on fluid cleanliness. Contamination can contribute to premature component wear and operational problems, particularly in systems with sensitive hydraulic components.
AeroShell Fluid 41 is manufactured as a super-clean hydraulic fluid to help protect hydraulic components against contamination-related failures.
This makes it particularly useful in applications where high cleanliness standards are important.
Wear Protection and Long Component Life
The formulation includes an additive system designed to provide:
- Anti-wear protection for hydraulic components
- Resistance to oxidation
- Corrosion inhibition
- Good shear stability
These properties help support long component service life and consistent hydraulic system performance.
Reliable Low-Temperature Performance
Aircraft hydraulic systems can be exposed to significant temperature variations during operation.
AeroShell Fluid 41 offers good low-temperature fluidity and a high viscosity index, helping maintain efficient hydraulic system operation over a broad temperature range.
Applications in Aviation
AeroShell Fluid 41 is intended for aircraft hydraulic systems requiring an approved mineral hydraulic fluid.
Depending on the aircraft and component manufacturer's specifications, mineral hydraulic fluids may be used in various hydraulic applications, including landing gear, braking and other hydraulically operated systems.
Always verify the approved hydraulic fluid specification before use.
Additional Industrial Applications
In addition to aviation, AeroShell Fluid 41 is also used in selected non-aviation applications where reliable hydraulic operation over a wide temperature range is required.
Examples include:
- Cranes
- Military vehicles
- Circuit breakers
- Other suitable hydraulic equipment
