Today's Featured Article - Self-Starting Tractor - McCormick 10-20 - by Francis J. Robinson. I remember it very clearly even though it was almost 50 years ago and I was only about seven years old. My Dad had purchased a new Ford-Ferguson tractor and basic set of implements when he started farming just about the beginning of W.W.II. It was considered a pretty nice outfit for their 70 acre central Indiana grain and livestock farm. Dad spent several years during the war testing aircraft engines at Allison Engineering in Indianapolis working seven days a week on a twelve hour night sh . .. [Read Article]

The principle of operation and the basic rules for choosing a tire changer

09/20/2017

General view of the tire changer

The tire changer is an incredibly simple device in its structure. On the base of the stand there is a rack with a mounting head fixed on it, under the head there is a turntable with clamping fists, and a squeezing blade is usually placed on the side, which is driven by pneumatics. That is why you should not forget that the tire changer must be connected not only to the network, but also to a compressor or other source of compressed air mixture.

The procedure for working with the tire changer is as follows:

To detach the rubber from the disc, you must use a rubber wringer. Next, the wheel must be placed on the desktop and secured with cams. After that, the mounting head is brought in for the disassembly procedure. The working area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe head is placed between the rubber and the disk, after which, using a lever (usually a mount), the pressed edge of the rubber is put on the mounting head.

General view of the working table

Next, you need to press the pedal, which in turn drives the rotating table that rotates simultaneously with the clamped wheel, and the nozzle releases the rubber around the entire circumference of the disk. The disassembly of the second part of the disk is done in a similar way. This principle of operation is typical for most tire changers designed for passenger cars.

Equipment intended for servicing trucks and special equipment most often does not have a working rotating table, and the wheel is fixed with grippers and rotated around the axis. Razbortovka using the mounting head occurs according to the principle described above.

The tire changer is controlled by pedals. In semi-automatic models there are 3 pedals: a pedal for squeezing rubber, a pedal responsible for the operation of the cam mechanism, a pedal responsible for the table rotation mechanism. In automatic models, there are 4 of them, the first three are similar to those used in semi-automatic ones, and the fourth is responsible for controlling the rack. The difference between an automatic and a semi-automatic stand is only that in the automatic machine the removal of the mounting rack is carried out using pneumatics, and not manually, as is the case with a semi-automatic device. This design simplifies the maintenance of wheels with a large board diameter, used, for example, in heavy vehicles. In almost all modern automatic models of this type of equipment, the gap between the disc and the rubber is adjusted automatically. But for a small tire changer serving a small number of cars per day, buying an automatic machine will not be the best solution, primarily because of the high price, the required installation space and the frequency of replacing consumables and components. For this reason, we recommend that owners of such workshops pay attention to semi-automatic models.

Key parameters for selection

First, you need to determine the type of vehicles you are going to work with. Most of the tire changers are designed to work with the wheels of passenger cars. For truck tire fitting, the choice of models is not so large, but among them you can choose exactly what you need to solve current problems. When choosing tire fitting equipment, it is necessary, first of all, to pay attention to several key characteristics:

Maximum wheel diameter - This value usually ranges from 24 to 90 inches. For servicing passenger cars, SUVs, minivans, models with a diameter of up to 40 inches are ideal. For work with trucks and special equipment, the optimal value will be in the range from 60 to 90 inches.

Maximum wheel size - This parameter is usually between 12 and 15 inches, for trucks and special equipment up to 42.

Operating Voltage - Most tire changers operate on a 380V electrical network. It is also worth noting that there is also equipment of small power up to one kilowatt, which must be connected to a single-phase network.

Air pressure - For the correct operation of the pneumatic actuator, an air mixture pressure of between 8 and 9 atmospheres is required.

On our website you can find both car and truck tire changers that allow you to service wheels of any size and diameter.

By purchasing a modern tire changer for your workshop, you will increase the efficiency, quality and speed of your work several times, as well as start getting more profit by expanding the range of services provided, as well as the speed of service.
