Product Catalog Is Your Retread Plant Getting the Valve Right? PRODUCT CATALOG IS YOUR RETREAD PLANT GETTING THE VALVE RIGHT? Envelope valve positioning can cause unexpected problems in your curing chamber. Lost pressure from coupling leaks, cushion migration from vacuum blockage, and stress around the valve base, can result in costly miscures, re-runs, and decreased envelope service life. Bulldog envelopes with J-Hook striping can solve these problems by showing the operator where to place the J-hook so that the valve will be in the right position in the chamber every time. It’s easy to implement and easy to follow. J-Hook striping is available exclusively from Shamrock and is an ideal match with the Bulldog Rubber Sealing Ring System. Dependable. Consistent.

  • What You Need to Know About Mounting Radial Tires on Classic Vehicle Rims
    What You Need to Know About Mounting Radial Tires on Classic Vehicle Rims Over the past 100 years, tires, and the wheels that support them, have gone through significant changes as a result of technical innovations in design, technology and materials. No single factor affects the handling and safety of a car’s ride more than the tire and the wheel it is mounted on and how the two work together as a unit. One nagging question that has been the subject of a lot of anecdotal evidence, speculation, and even more widespread rumor is whether rims designed for Bias ply tires can handle the stresses placed on them by Radial ply tires. And the answer is - it depends. It depends on how the rim was originally designed and built as well as whether the rim has few enough cycles on it, and how it has been driven. But most importantly it depends upon the construction of the tire and how it transmits the vehicle's load to where the rubber meets the road. In this paper, we want to educate you on the facts - not the wives tales or just plain bad information - about how Bias and Radial tires differ in working with the rim to provide a safe ride. Why is there a possible rim concern between Radial and Bias Tires? The fitting of radial tires, to wheels and rims originally designed for bias tires, is an application that may result in rim durability issues. Even same-sized bias and radial tires stress a rim differently, despite their nearly identical dimensions.

  • Information on Tire Radial Force Variation (RFV)
    Information on Tire Radial Force Variation (RFV) 2019 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks This Bulletin also applies to any of the above models that may be Export from North America vehicles. This Bulletin has been revised to add the 2018 and 2019 Model Year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 00-03-10-006M. Important Before measuring tires on GM approved tire force variation measurement equipment, the vehicle MUST be driven a minimum of 24 km (15 mi) to ensure removal of any flat-spotting. Refer to the latest version of Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007: Tire/Wheel Characteristics of GM Original Equipment Tires. GM approved tire force variation measurement equipment MUST be calibrated prior to measuring tire/wheel assemblies for each vehicle. Note If the equipment being used is capable of performing a centering check, the centering check must be completed before taking measurements of balance or RFV. The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance to GM dealers when using GM approved tire force variation measurement equipment. This type of equipment can be a valuable tool in diagnosing vehicle ride concerns. The most common ride concern involving tire radial force variation is highway speed (105-115 km/h (65-70 mph) shake on smooth roads. Tire related smooth road highway speed shake can be caused by three conditions: imbalance, out of round and tire force variation. These three conditions are not necessarily related. All three conditions must be addressed. Imbalance is normally addressed first, because it is the simplest of the three to correct.

  • Aircraft Tire Data
    Aircraft tire Engineering Data Introduction Michelin manufactures a wide variety of sizes and types of tires to the exacting standards of the aircraft industry. The information included in this Data Book has been put together as an engineering and technical reference to support the users of Michelin tires. The data is, to the best of our knowledge, accurate and complete at the time of publication. To be as useful a reference tool as possible, we have chosen to include data on as many industry tire sizes as possible. Particular sizes may not be currently available from Michelin. It is advised that all critical data be verified with your Michelin representative prior to making final tire selections. The data contained herein should be used in conjunction with the various standards ; T&RA1, ETRTO2, MIL-PRF- 50413, AIR 8505 - A4 or with the airframer specifications or military design drawings. For those instances where a contradiction exists between T&RA and ETRTO, the T&RA standard has been referenced. In some cases, a tire is used for both civil and military applications. In most cases they follow the same standard. Where they do not, data for both tires are listed and identified. The aircraft application information provided in the tables is based on the most current information supplied by airframe manufacturers and/or contained in published documents. It is intended for use as general reference only. Your requirements may vary depending on the actual configuration of your aircraft. Accordingly, inquiries regarding specific models of aircraft should be directed to the applicable airframe manufacturer.

  • What Is Match Mounting?
    dding performance vehi- cle owners to your cus- tomer list can give a huge boost to your shop’s bot- tom line. These owners may be demanding—even picky—but they’ll pay well to get the jobA done exactly the way they want it. Some of the most common types of work done on performance vehicles in- volve the wheels and/or tires. The wheels are one of the most visible parts of a vehicle, so any work done on them must be top-notch—meaning clean, pretty and accurate. Custom wheel service can be broken down into two primary topics, essential- ly—tire match mounting and custom wheel handling. Since you’ll never mount a wheel without a tire, we’ll cov- er the ins and outs of tire match mounting first. What Is Match Mounting? Match mounting involves positioning the tire onto the wheel to minimize or eliminate the final combination of radial force variation and/or imbalance (radial force variation is explained later in this article). One match mounting approach involves aligning the tire’s point of maxi- mum radial force variation (its high spot) to the wheel’s radial low spot (where the wheel’s radial runout is the lowest). This is called the Uniformity Method. The other approach involves simply aligning the tire’s lightest balance point to the wheel’s heaviest balance point, called the Weight Method. OE tire suppliers are required to mark a tire’s radial runout high point, and OE wheel makers are required to mark a wheel’s radial runout low point.
