Battery Systems

Boeing 737 Battery Charger

ELDEC has developed a new, advanced Battery Charger Upgrade (part number 8-930) for the Boeing
737-600/700/800/900, 747-400, 757 and 767 aircraft. It is a form, fit and function replacement for the
existing ELDEC battery chargers on these airplanes.

Brake Control

AACU Upgrade for Boeing 737 Carbon Brake

Boeing has certified new Carbon Brakes for production and field retrofit for the 737NG aircraft series. This
Carbon Brake option reduces the aircraft weight by 300-700 pounds (136 to 318 kg) depending on aircraft
model and airframe configuration. Crane Aerospace & Electronics new Antiskid/Auto-Brake Control Unit
(AACU), part number 142-147, is designed to work with the Carbon Brakes.

C-130 Carbon Brake Antiskid Upgrade

Crane’s new digital Mark IV antiskid brake control systems are currently being installed on the US Air Force
C-130H fleet as part of the Air Force’s Wheel Brake System Improvement (WBSI) program. The same system
is also available for foreign military operators flying legacy C-130s. The Mark IV replaces the older,
discontinued Mark II analog antiskid brake control system. Mark IV offers improved braking efficiencies
leading to shorter, more controlled stopping with either carbon or steel brakes.

Fluid Management

Tri-Jet Fuel Pump Electrical Housing Connector

Crane’s fuel pump electrical housing connector (PN 60-843504) for the DC-10 / MD-11 / KC-10 aircraft is
now qualified by Crane and Boeing. This connector delivers improved solderability and reliability while
preventing moisture intrusion. The new connector replaces the older 60-84351 and eliminates the need for
repetitive 18-month inspections defined in AD 2002-13-10 and AD 2011-11-05.

Landing Gear

Airbus A320 Landing Gear Control and Interface Unit (LGCIU)

Crane’s 80-178-03-88013 Landing Gear Control Interface Unit (LGCIU) is the standard A320 production unit
and a drop-in replacement for the 664700500A4A/B/C/D legacy unit.

Tire Pressure

Wireless Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Maintaining proper tire pressure is very important both to aircraft safety and economics. SmartStem® is a
wireless sensor built into the tire’s inflation stem that makes the daily tire pressure check quick, easy,
accurate, and automatically documented.

Tire and Brake Monitoring System (TBMS)

Crane’s Tire and Brake Monitoring System has been standard on all B777’s since Q2 2007. Crane’s system
provides benefits over older 777 installations by combining the TPMU and BTMU functions into a single Tire
Brake Monitoring Unit (TBMU), eliminating an avionics unit. The tire temperature/pressure correction is
done in the TBMU to provide an accurate tire pressure check without waiting for cooling down period.
