You're in charge of aircraft tire maintenance. How can you ensure they last longer?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Aircraft tires are essential for safe landing and takeoff, but they also wear out faster than other tires due to the high speed, pressure, and friction they endure. As an aircraft tire maintenance technician, you can extend the lifespan of your tires by following some simple but effective tips. Here are six ways to keep your tires in good shape and reduce the risk of failure.

1 Check the pressure

One of the most important factors for tire longevity is maintaining the correct inflation pressure. Underinflated tires can overheat, deform, and burst, while overinflated tires can lose traction, crack, and blow out. You should check the tire pressure regularly, especially before and after each flight, and adjust it according to the manufacturer's specifications and the ambient temperature. Use a calibrated gauge and a reliable source of dry nitrogen to avoid moisture and corrosion.

Maintaining optimal tire pressure ensures safety, enhances performance, and prolongs tire life. Adequate pressure prevents uneven wear, reduces the risk of blowouts, and optimizes fuel efficiency. Implementing a consistent monitoring schedule, utilizing calibrated gauges, and adhering to manufacturer-recommended pressures are key practices. Additionally, educating maint. personnel on proper inflation techniques and promptly addressing any deviations from optimal pressure contribute to extended tire lifespan. Proactive measures, including thorough inspections for signs of damage or irregular wear, complement pressure checks for a comprehensive maint. approach, ultimately enhancing safety and operational efficiency in A/C tire management.

Preditiva em manuten??o deve ser feita todos os dias e toda hora onde qualquer instrumento pode causar uma falha! Todo componente de uma aeronave deve ser vistoriada constantemente.

na inspe??o tanto de aeronave quando de veículos terrestres a verifica??o diária de press?o um passo muito importante no caso de aeronave depois de cada voo. Essa inspe??o nos diz se há micro furos nos pneus caso ele venha baixando press?o lentamente e isso nos avisa o momento correto de trocar os pneus.

2 Inspect the condition

Another key step is to inspect the tires for any signs of damage, wear, or foreign objects. You should look for cuts, cracks, bulges, blisters, tread separation, or punctures that could compromise the tire's integrity. You should also remove any stones, nails, glass, or metal that could embed in the tire and cause a leak or a tear. If you find any defects that exceed the service limits, you should replace the tire as soon as possible.

a inspe??o visual é fundamental para se iniciar uma atividade, seja ela preventiva, preditiva ou corretiva, essa inspe??o deve ser executada tanto nas ferramentas de trabalho quanto no equipamento que irá sofrer a manuten??o.

3 Rotate the tires

Tire rotation is a common practice in car maintenance, but it also applies to aircraft tires. Rotating the tires means swapping them between different positions on the same axle or between different axles. This helps to distribute the wear evenly and prevent uneven tread depth or shape. You should rotate the tires according to the maintenance manual or the tire manufacturer's recommendations, usually after a certain number of landings or hours of operation.

4 Balance the tires

Balancing the tires means ensuring that they spin evenly and smoothly without any wobbling or vibration. Unbalanced tires can cause excessive stress on the wheel, axle, and bearing, as well as affect the handling and performance of the aircraft. You should balance the tires whenever you install a new tire, repair a tire, or notice any imbalance symptoms. You can use static or dynamic methods to balance the tires, depending on the equipment and procedures available.

5 Clean the tires

Cleaning the tires is not only a cosmetic issue, but also a preventive measure. Dirt, grease, oil, fuel, or brake fluid can degrade the rubber and cause cracking, peeling, or swelling. You should clean the tires regularly with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasives that could damage the tire surface or structure. Rinse and dry the tires thoroughly after cleaning.

Proper Lubrication: Lubricate wheel bearings and components as recommended by the aircraft manufacturer. Adequate lubrication reduces friction, heat, and wear on tires.

6 Store the tires

If you have spare or removed tires that you need to store for future use, you should follow some basic guidelines to preserve their quality and performance. You should store the tires in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from heat, sunlight, ozone, or electrical sources. You should also protect the tires from dust, moisture, or chemicals that could contaminate them. If possible, store the tires vertically on racks or pallets, and avoid stacking or compressing them.

An experience i recently learned from was that when tire bearings aren’t adequately lubricated, can lead to severe damage of the tire and in some cases lead to the entire assembly falling off form the hub.
