How To Choose A Tire Changer
A tire changer is a piece of automotive maintenance equipment designed to assist in disassembling and installing car tires during maintenance. To make the tire removal process more efficient and convenient, there are currently many types of tire removal machines available, requiring careful selection. Tire changers are categorized by user type into motorcycle tire changers, car tire changers, truck tire changers, engineering vehicle tire changers, and more. Below is a detailed guide on choosing a tire changer.
Here is the content list:
– Motor power
– Running noise
– Tire mounting head
Motor Power
Consider the rated power of the tire changer. Higher power equates to greater working stability. Generally, tire removal machinery has a power rating above 1000W. To cut costs, some manufacturers use motors around 800W, which significantly reduces stability. When selecting a tire changer, check the motor’s rated power by removing the side cover. The motor should produce minimal noise and exhibit no significant vibrations during operation.
Running Noise
The operational noise of the tire changer should be minimal, with no noticeable vibration under load. The reducer, a key component in power transmission for the tire changer, reduces the AC motor speed from above 100r/min to approximately 100r/min for normal operation. The reducer is usually made from special alloy materials, requiring low noise and good balance performance. Some smaller manufacturers use poor-quality hard alloy casting reducers, so it’s crucial to pay attention to working noise and load.
Tire Mounting Head
The quality of the tire mounting head directly affects the tire changer’s performance. Currently, there are two types on the market: high-quality stainless steel, which is more expensive, and cast iron, which is cheaper and easily distinguishable. A high-quality stainless steel tire mounting head features a scientifically designed arc curve, ensuring long-term use without deformation, smooth tire handling, and rim protection. Conversely, poor-quality heads have rough appearances, poorly designed curves, are prone to deformation after repeated use, and can easily damage tires and rims. Therefore, it’s essential to verify the quality of the tire mounting head when selecting a tire changer.
In summary, consider these aspects when purchasing a tire changer.
