Pad Cushion Foot - Z Shoe
SAF-Holland

The cushion foot pad for the Z-shoe assembly is designed to absorb impact and dampen vibrations transmitted through the fork or leg structures of landing gear and related mounting points. By isolating dynamic loads at the contact interfaces, this resilient pad helps extend the life of mating components, reduces fretting wear, and contributes to smoother, quieter operation during both acceleration and braking cycles. Its 77-003-033 VMRS designation places it in the cushioning and load-distribution category of SAF-HOLLAND hardware, aligning with service practices that prioritize ride quality and component longevity. Painted or finished surface treatment enhances corrosion resistance in exposed environments, enabling reliable performance in wet, salted, or dusty conditions. The part is compatible with a range of Z-shoe support configurations and is intended for straightforward field replacement, minimizing downtime and rework. Within category 42747, it supports practical applications where consistent load sharing and surface conformity are essential, such as wheel-end assemblies, stabilizer interfaces, and chassis-mounted foot interfaces that experience frequent dynamic loads. This cushion pad thus improves durability, reduces maintenance frequency, and helps fleet operations sustain uptime in challenging road conditions.
