Hi guys, I want to design a manual tire changer for 10-inch tire in the racing environment.
The force needs to be determined to ensure that it will not destroy the material which is used to produce the manual tire changer.
I'm stuck with finding the force which is used to break the tire bead.
I hope you will be able to provide the force which any tire changer create to break tire bead or any tips to determine the force.
Thank you for considering my request.
Nah 42, it's definitely 42!
split the difference and call it 27
.
Nah 108 positive
Yes, it's a 42 from me too!
what is 12 stand for ?
If you need to ask that you are out of your depth.
Most likely 12 thousand dollars for the answer.
You joined a bargains site to ask about this rather than an automotive or racing site?
Also, I'm assuming your changer is for the American market; it's spelt tyre in Australia …
Hi Kerfuffle. I have tried with several automotive site but i still waiting for administrator permission before i can post
Contact the manufacturer of the tyre that you will use.
Ironically the ozbargain spellchecker deems "tyre" to be incorrect.
Guess they prefer american spelling than australian spelling…
May the force be with you.
It's called a Tyre Bead Breaker OP. That'll help you Google for all the information you need.
You're welcome.
Thank Hithere. I have searched this information on Google but none of them mentioned how much force that device can create.
Sounds like a uni assignment question to me
Hi, quickly determined that variations on tyre/tire bead breaker force newton metres/meters nm, will bring you many a pdf result for manufacturer/sellers of commercial machines, also happening to manufacture/sell handtools. Download and see what you can find in those files.
10 pounds per fahrenheit is the answer, my overseas friend
Since you seem to be American
Trunk monkey may be the way to go
This feels like homework to me, OP.
Reddit is your answer
Run over the tyre with a vehicle being careful not to run over the rim as well. This should break bead on top side. Turn over and do again for other side.
That brings back memories. Middle of the Nullabor, late a night, watching the dad drive up on the rim trying to get a trailer tyre changed when the workshop compressor was waiting on parts. Can’t recall if we ended up getting it off, but somehow we got the trailer repaired requiring purchase of some wheel nuts from a couple of drunk guys with beer as currency.
Inflated or deflated tyre?
Steel rim or alloy rim?
Standard or bead-lock?
How long are your levers?
There are already bead breakers out there on the market, what are you doing with yours that will make the already available ones obsolete?
Some light reading that might help…
Far out mate just buy a tyre changer.
12, Definitely 12.
