What are the components of the forklift wheel?

The wheel consists of a rim assembly and a tire, which is an important part of the driving system and plays a large role in keeping the vehicle running normally. Its main function is to support the weight of the car; to ensure good adhesion to the road surface, to transmit driving torque, braking torque and lateral force; to determine the direction of travel of the vehicle, and to mitigate the impact from the uneven road and attenuate together with the suspension The vibration generated thereby.

 Rim assembly

 The rim assembly is composed of a rim, a retaining ring, a locking ring, a web and the like.

 (1) Rim. The rim is a fixed foundation of the tire, which together with the tire bears the load acting on the wheel, and radiates the heat generated by the tire at high speed, and ensures that the wheel has a proper section width and lateral stiffness. According to its structural characteristics, the rim has three types: deep rim, flat rim and detachable rim.

 (2) Spokes. The function of the spokes is to connect the rim and the hub. There are usually two types of spoke type (or spoke type) and cast spoke type. The most widely used spoke type spoke structure. In this configuration, the web can be joined to the rim by welding or riveting. The spokes are usually symmetrically opened with a number of large holes, which not only can reduce the quality, but also facilitate disassembly and assembly and facilitate heat dissipation. When the wheel is mounted on the hub, in order to properly center, the wheel connection bolt holes are generally tapered so that they can be fitted and aligned with the tapered surface of the wheel fastening nut. In addition, it is also used to center the inner cylindrical surface of the web with the positioning shoulder on the hub.

  2. Tires

  Tires can be divided into solid tires and pneumatic tires according to their structure.

  Pneumatic tires can be divided into two types according to the structure: inner tube and no tube tube. According to the air pressure inside the tire, it can be divided into high pressure tire, low pressure tire and ultra low pressure tire. According to the arrangement direction of the cord in the carcass, it can be divided. For ordinary slant tires, radial tires and belt bias tires.
