Wheel engineering

Define the interface before the test

Steel and alloy wheel programs begin with geometry, load and duty cycle. Bring the drawing and application to a focused engineering discussion.

From interface to evidence

01

Fitment freeze

Record diameter, width, offset, PCD and center bore against the vehicle interface.

02

Validation

Agree load cases, test methods and acceptance criteria for the intended duty cycle.

03

Documentation

Identify drawings, revisions and test records relevant to the product and market.

04

Traceability

Define how lot and inspection information can be linked to the order.

Standards and evidence

Requirements depend on product, destination market and application. A management-system certificate is separate from a product approval.

Applications by duty cycle

Commercial vehicles

Axle load, mounting and service duty inform wheel selection.

Fleet replacement

Interchangeability and maintenance records shape the replacement brief.

Industrial vehicles

Surface conditions and load cycles must be described for evaluation.

Technical resources

Request documents appropriate to the exact wheel and program.

Fitment and specifications

Wheel drawing, interface dimensions and installation requirements.

Quality documentation

Inspection and test evidence subject to agreed scope and availability.
