A brake assembly is configured for use with a wheel in an ambient environment. The wheel includes a rim rotatably mounted to an axle. The brake assembly includes a brake stack and an actuation assembly configured to selectively apply a force to the brake stack. A cover sealingly engaged the rim to at least partially define a fluidic barrier between a brake cavity and the ambient environment. The brake stack is located within the brake cavity.

A method of determining a service interval for an actuator of a landing gear assembly is suitable for used with a landing gear assembly in which the actuator positions the landing gear assembly between a stowed position and a deployed position. The method includes the steps of determining an actuator travel value for a time interval and increasing a total actuator accumulated travel value by the actuator travel value for the time interval. The method further includes the step of comparing the total actuator accumulated travel value to a predetermined value.
