Introducing safe, reliable, wireless and continuous tyre pressure monitoring
For a steer axle with a 12,000-lb. rating, commonly-accepted pressure is 110 psi, and most drivers assume 85 psi is okay. But for every 10% of underinflation, you’re looking at a 1% reduction in fuel economy. Multiply that by the miles you travel in a year and you can expect:

Underinflation or improper psi might seem like an insignificant problem, but spread across a modern fleet, it can yield some surprising challenges.
- 30% loss in tread life for tyres underinflated by 20%
- 40% loss in tread life for tyres underinflated by 30%.
But that’s just the beginning . . .
In the past, truckers have tried to get in the habit of getting out of their rigs throughout the day to check a calibrated gauge on each tyre’s value stem.
That approach can cost time and money—especially if it isn’t part of a routine for all drivers in a fleet.
Then there’s the concept of establishing each tyre’s “ideal pressure.” Even if that was possible (e.g. 110 psi on a 12,000-lb front axle), you still need to:
- Set drive and trailer tyre pressure within a broader allowable range
- Prevent overcompensating for temperature changes
- Prevent overcompensating for gross-vehicle-weight changes
- Manage hazardous road conditions
As a result, many fleets determine recommended tyre pressure based on worst vehicle load. Unfortunately, because loads vary by wheel position, fleets often try to solve the problem through complicated load/inflation tables.
Bottom line: fleets will continue to lose tyres—and profits—due to:
- Negligence and apathy
- Under-inflated tyres
- Mechanical problems
- Improper tyre selection
With the SKF Tyre Pressure Monitoring System:
- Drivers monitor tyre pressure accurately and continuously to improve fleet safety and efficiency.
- Tyre pressure data, sent wirelessly from external wheel modules, works with each vehicle’s internal communication network to give drivers real-time tyre pressures.
The results help drivers:
- Eliminate tyre-related accident risks
- Minimize unplanned vehicle downtime
- Cut fuel consumption and operating costs
How rigs and fleets benefit:
- Reduce the risk of blowouts and unplanned downtime
- Improve tyre life and lowers total cost of ownership
- Improve fuel economy and safety
- Reduce CO2 emissions
External wheel modules mount on each wheel rim to transmit tyre pressure and temperature data:
- Wirelessly
- Accurately
- Continuously
Electronic control unit receives tyre condition data, while the exclusive, SKF algorithm:
- Uses pressure and temperature data for calculations
- Provides reliable information to the driver

후방 서스펜션의 주요 기능(전방에도 있는)은 자동차 본체는 지면에 닿지 않게, 바퀴는 도로에 닿게 유지하는 것입니다. 또 다른 기능은 회전 시 안정감을 높여 더욱 편안한 승차감을 제공하는 것입니다.

먼저, 이 두 가지 서로 다른 메커니즘이 자동차에 어떤 역할을 하는지 알아야 합니다. 간단합니다. 두 시스템 모두 크랭크샤프트와 캠샤프트 회전을 동기화하여 엔진 밸브가 적절한 시간에 열리고 닫히게 하는 동일한 기능을 수행합니다. 두 시스템 모두 같은 방식으로, 각 메커니즘의 형태와 제조 시 사용된 소재가 유일한 차이점입니다. 그렇다면 질문은, 무엇이 더 나은가 하는 것입니다.

타이밍 시스템은 4행정 내연 기관의 핵심 부품입니다. 타이밍 시스템의 구성품이 캠샤프트의 동기화된 회전을 구동하여, 엔진의 주입구 및 배출구의 밸브가 적시에 열리고 닫히게 보장합니다. 즉, 타이밍 시스템의 구성품 중 하나라도 결함이 있는 경우, 차량이 더 이상 제대로 운행되지 않아 값비싼 엔진 손상을 일으키는 원인이 될 수 있습니다.
