What Are The Components of A Tire Changer

A tire changer is a crucial piece of automobile maintenance equipment designed to facilitate the disassembly and installation of tires during vehicle servicing. This machine ensures the process of tire removal and installation is more efficient and smooth. It is indispensable in automotive maintenance. The power types of tire changers can be categorized into pneumatic and hydraulic tire changer machines. Based on usage, tire changers can be classified into those specifically for motorcycles, cars, large trucks, and engineering vehicles. Now, let’s delve into the main components of a tire changer in detail.

– Oil-Water Separator

– Charging and Deflating Device

– Foot Pedal

– Lubricating Fluid

 

Thickened Large Turntable

The platform of the tire changer, known as the thickened large turntable, is where tires are primarily removed. It serves the purpose of placing, rotating, and holding tires. Before checking for any mechanical anomalies, ensure the tire on the workbench is unloaded. It is strictly forbidden to operate with any defects. The tire scraper should utilize compressed air at the specified pressure and periodically remove condensate. During tire installation or removal, maintain a safe distance between the dismantling head and the hub to prevent damage. Securely clamp and inspect the wheel before starting. Never separate the tire by hand while it is rotating. Keep hands in a safe position during inflation to avoid injuries. Conduct regular safety inspections, cleaning, and maintenance to ensure the machine remains in optimal condition.

 

Swing Arm & Mounting Head

The swing arm and mounting head, located on one side of the tire changer, are primarily used to detach the tire from the rim, facilitating smooth tire removal. When the jack is in operation, ensure the quick connector does not collide with the ground or other obstacles by pushing the limit nut to the end. Each time you install or disassemble the quick connector, slide the sliding sleeve appropriately. If the quick connector might contact the ground or obstacles, rotate the limit nut forward two turns after insertion to ensure reliability. Rotate the limit nut back twice before removal.

 

Oil-Water Separator

The oil-water separator functions by causing a sharp change in flow direction and velocity when compressed air enters, relying on inertia to separate oil and water droplets, which have a higher density than the air. This separation protects the tire changer, extending its service life.

 

Charging and Deflating Device

The charging and deflating device of the tire changer primarily deflates the tire, making it easier to inflate or disassemble. It also includes a barometer for measuring air pressure, with the average tire pressure being around 2.2 atmospheres or 0.2 Mpa.

 

Foot Pedal

The tire changer is equipped with three foot pedal switches. These switches control the rotation in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, the separation of the tightening switch, and the separation of the rim and tire.

 

Lubricating Fluid

Lubricating fluid aids in tire disassembly and assembly, reducing damage during the process and ensuring a smoother operation.

 

These are the main components of the tire changer, each playing a vital role based on their specific functions.
