Beringer Wheels And Brakes Promotes ALIR System

Stop Locking 'Em Up

By Dan Billingsley

Tired of finding flat spots on your tires? Beringer Wheels and Brakes says its Anti-Lock Inline Regulator (ALIR) may just be the fix you are looking for. The regulator is placed inline between the master cylinders and brakes, and has a knob that adjusts the maximum pressure delivered to the calipers. Fine tuning between landings will achieve exacting performance, adjusting the pressure to stop (at full application) just prior to locking up and skidding. Just think of it as a governor for slowing down.


Beringer ALIR System

Standard GA braking requires the pilot to apply just the correct amount of pressure…judging when to increase or decrease. When the Inline Regulator is installed, the company says the pilot may apply full pressure on the brakes at touchdown without a concern of lock-up. The advantages include; Shorter stopping distance, less tire wear, less brake wear and certainly a safer landing.


Braking Chart

The chart above shows a comparison of the same plane with the ALIR system and without it, and all possible variables were held constant. Note how the maximum braking pressure is achieved quicker in braking with the system (blue line) as opposed without it (red line). The shorter stopping distance as well as those points noted above fall in line.

Beringer is a family owned business who just celebrated their 25th anniversary of delivering wheels and brake systems to the motorcycle industry. They are now gaining ground in the aviation arena and their wheels and brake systems (upon examination) look to be very high quality. The aluminum alloy wheels are CNC machined into three parts and assembled with O-rings, providing a tubeless system.

They encourage the use of their complete wheel and breaking system when installing the ALIR, as the engineering was a package design. Expect to pay about $2000.00 for a complete system. The regulator can work with other systems, however, they encourage contacting them prior to purchasing. The regulator alone is about $200.00
