What Is a Locking Ring? What Are The Rim Lock Rings?

What is a locking collar ?

The beadlock is a metal ring installed between the tire and the rim (wheel rim) of mining trucks and construction machinery. Its main function is to fix the tire so that it fits firmly on the rim and ensures that the tire remains stable under high load and rough road conditions.

The locking ring has many functions , including the following:

1. Fix the tire position: The locking ring firmly fixes the tire to the rim to prevent the tire from sliding or loosening under rough terrain, heavy load or high speed conditions.

2. Ensure safety: The locking ring effectively prevents the tire from coming off the rim, especially under high-pressure operations and complex road conditions, providing additional safety protection for the mine car and operators.

3. Easy to disassemble and assemble: For the replacement of tires of mining vehicles, the design of the locking ring makes the disassembly and assembly process easier, reducing the time and manpower required to replace tires, especially in remote mining areas or harsh working conditions.

4. Maintain air tightness: The locking ring can help the tire maintain air tightness, reduce air leakage, and improve the durability and service life of the tire.

5. Reduce stress distribution: The locking ring evenly distributes the pressure of the tire on the rim, reducing local stress and effectively extending the service life of the rim and tire.

Locking rims are usually made of high-strength steel and can withstand extreme working environments, but their installation and removal require professional tools and techniques, especially for locking rims on large mining trucks , because incorrect installation may cause the risk of tires falling off or bursting.

We are the first off-road wheel designer and manufacturer in China, and also the world's leading expert in rim component design and manufacturing. All products are designed and produced according to the highest quality standards. We have more than 20 years of experience in wheel manufacturing , and our manufacturing technology for rims and rim accessories is very mature!

Locking ring is one of the rim accessories, which also includes side rings, bead seats, drive keys and side flanges, suitable for different types of rims, such as 3-PC, 5-PC and 7-PC OTR rims, 2-PC, 3-PC and 4-PC forklift rims. 25 inches is the mainstream size of rim components, because many wheel loaders, tractors and dump trucks use 25-inch rims. Rim components are crucial to the quality and performance of the rim. The locking ring needs to have the right elasticity to ensure that it locks the rim while being easy to remove and install. The bead seat is crucial to the performance of the rim, which bears the main load of the rim. The side ring is the component that connects to the tire, and it needs to be strong and precise enough to protect the tire.

What are the wheel rim locks?

Rim locks (also called wheel locks ) are mainly used to fix tires on heavy vehicles such as mining trucks and construction machinery to ensure that the tires and rims are tightly combined. Common types of rim locks include:

1. Single-piece locking ring : The most basic type of locking ring , with a simple structure and easy installation, suitable for vehicles with general load requirements. It consists of a full circle of metal rings that lock the tire by snapping into the rim groove.

2. Double-piece locking ring : It consists of two rings and is usually used for tires with larger loads or requiring higher safety. The design of the double-piece locking ring enables it to fix the tire more firmly, especially suitable for occasions where tires are frequently changed.

3. Three - piece locking ring : The structure of the three-piece locking ring is relatively complex, divided into an inner ring, an outer ring and a locking plate, providing higher stability and safety. Due to the addition of multiple fixing points, it is suitable for applications in ultra-heavy vehicles or extreme working conditions.

4. Four-piece locking ring : used for extremely heavy vehicles, the four-piece locking ring firmly fixes the tire to the rim through four separate rings, suitable for ultra-high load requirements. It has a complex structure, but can withstand the greatest pressure and impact.

5. Reinforced lock ring : specially designed for harsh mining areas or construction sites, it adopts thick-wall design and is made of special steel. It is impact-resistant and wear-resistant, and is suitable for mining trucks under high loads and extreme environments.

6. Quick-release locking ring : This locking ring is designed to improve tire changing efficiency. It uses a quick-release structure to reduce installation and disassembly time, and is very suitable for frequent tire changing needs in mining areas or construction sites .

Choosing the right rim lock ring helps ensure a secure connection between the tire and the rim, improving the reliability and safety of vehicle operation.
