Development of a Two-Dimensional Force Model and Data Analysis for the Tire Uniformity Testing Machine

Force model of tire uniformity testing system and data analysis method are fundamental to a tire uniformity testing machine. Based on theoretical analysis, this paper proposes a two-dimensional force model to calculate tire’s radial and lateral force, confirm the mechanical structures of the existing tire uniformity testing machine’s testing system and verify the validity of its testing method by the model. According to this two-dimensional force model and FFT data analysis method, the YLJ series tire uniformity testing machine is developed. It is mainly applied for fully auto online uniformity test and size deviation. The authors also explained the operational principle, data measurement and analysis procedure of the YLJ series tire uniformity testing machine.
