2. Bead breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bead_breaker

   A tire bead is held in the groove by air pressure. A bead breaker is a tool used for separating tires from rims. The innermost diameter of the tire that interfaces with the rim of a wheel is called the tire bead. The bead is a thicker section of rubber, and is reinforced with braided steel cables, called the bead bundle. [1]

3. Tire changer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_changer

   The table top and rim clamps hold and rotate the wheel to mount or dismount a tire. The table top is directly above the foot pedals and below the mount/demount mechanism. The table top is able to rotate clockwise and counter clockwise. The table top is shaped as the letter "X", but it can be a circle in different tire changer models.

4. Tire bead - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_bead

   Tire bead is the term for the edge of a tire that sits on the rim. Wheels for automobiles, bicycles, etc. are made with a small slot or groove into which the tire bead sits. When the tire is properly inflated, the air pressure within the tire keeps the bead in this groove. Reducing tire air pressure is a frequent practice among off-road vehicle ...

5. Beadlock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beadlock

   A standard beadlock is designed to clamp the tire bead between an outer and an inner ring. The inner ring may be welded onto a standard wheel increasing wheel width by anywhere from 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 to 2 inches (3.8 to 5.1 cm) or may be formed as part of the wheel when the wheel is made in the factory. The outer ring is then bolted onto the inner ...

6. Tire manufacturing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_manufacturing

   Coatings protect the steel from corrosion. Copper in the alloy and sulfur in the rubber cross-link to produce copper sulfide, which improves bonding of the bead to the rubber. Beads are inflexible and inelastic, and provide the mechanical strength to fit the tire to the wheel. Bead rubber includes additives to maximize strength and toughness of ...

7. Tire uniformity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_uniformity

   The upper chuck lowers to make contact with the upper bead. The tire is inflated to the set point pressure. The load wheel advances to contact the tire and apply the set loading force. The spindle drive accelerates the tire to the test speed. Once speed, force, and pressure are stable, load cells measure the force exerted on the load wheel by ...
