An aircraft wheel grease retainer (10) for use in a wheel assembly (20) having an axis of rotation (25), and further having bearings (30) which are each located in a bearing cavity (32), wherein the bearing (30) uses grease, which is introduced into the bearing cavity (32), wherein the wheel assembly (20) is comprised of an outer wheel half assembly (24), and an inner wheel half assembly (22), wherein the grease retainer (10) comprises a cylindrical retaining structure (40) which spans from the bearings (30) on the outer wheel half assembly (22) to the bearings (30) on the inner wheel half assembly (22), and two pliable interface rings (50). The cylindrical retaining structure (40) has a centerline (45) which corresponds to the wheel assembly axis of rotation (25), and further has an outer end (44) and an opposing inner end (42), with a corresponding outer retaining flange (48) and inner retaining flange (46) which extend over the bearing cavities (32). The pliable interface rings (50) seat on the cylindrical retaining structure (40), and interface between said cylindrical retaining structure and the wheel assembly (20). |
