Wheel rim press

Railway maintenance equipment BETEX Wheel Rim / Tyre Press 

Assembly of wheel rims for metro and tram.

This hydraulic wheel rim press was developed to client specifications. The press is specially used to assemble wheel rims onto passenger wheels, in combination with sound and vibration absorbing rubber blocks. These blocks are for travel comfort. 

At assembly, a large cone is used to pull the wheel into the wheel rim hydraulically. The cone ensures that the rubber blocks are pressed together in a controlled manner, after which the wheel fits easily.

Objective:

The wheel and wheel rim must align perfectly to prevent vibrations in the vehicle.
