Product catalog summary
Description
Hydraunycoil FH 42 is a synthetic hydraulic fluid formulated with PAO and esters, featuring a viscosity of 7 cSt at 40°C. It is engineered to function effectively within a temperature range of -54°C to +200°C, maintaining stability without significant evaporation or viscosity changes. This fluid is suitable for use in aircraft and missile hydraulic systems, including those previously using H-537 or H-515 fluids.

Applications
- Actuators and flap-control mechanisms in military and commercial aircraft
- Landing gear shock struts
- Helicopter and military hydraulic systems
- Hydraulic servo-controlled systems in missiles

HYDRAUNYCOIL FH 42-1

NYCO HYDRAUNYCOIL FH 42 LOW TEMPERATURE SYNTHETIC HYDRAULIC FLUID NATO CODE H-538 MIL-PRF-87257C - OX-538 AIRBUS CML 02EBA1I Hydraunycoil FH 42 is a synthetic hydraulic fluid based on PAO and esters with a viscosity of 7 cSt at 40°C. It is designed to operate in the temperature range - 54°C to + 200°C without air intake for a long period of time without significant evaporation or change in viscosity. Hydraunycoil FH 42 is the latest generation of hydraulic fluids for aircraft (A380) and missiles. It prevents component wear and seizure over a large temperature range. It can be used in hydraulic systems previously operated with H-537 (MIL-PRF-83282) or • Actuators and flap-control mechanisms of military and commercial aircrafts • Landing gear shock strut of military and commercial aircrafts • Helicopter and military hydraulic systems • Hydraulic servo-controlled systems of missiles
