Tyre flaps, also known as tire flaps or inner tubes, are essential components of many types of pneumatic tires, especially in heavy-duty or commercial vehicle applications. These flexible rubber or synthetic liners are placed inside the tire, between the tire casing and the tube (if a tube-type tire) or directly against the inside of the tire (in tubeless tires). Tyre flaps serve several important functions:
1. **Protection**: Tyre flaps protect the inner tube (if present) from damage caused by sharp objects, the tire's inner liner, or the rim's sharp edges. This helps prevent punctures and tube damage.
2. **Cushioning**: They provide an additional cushioning layer that helps absorb shocks, impacts, and road irregularities, contributing to a smoother ride and enhanced tire durability.
3. **Tire Integrity**: Tyre flaps help maintain the structural integrity of the tire, preventing the tube from coming into direct contact with the tire casing, which can lead to abrasion and damage.
4. **Heat Dissipation**: In some applications, such as in off-road and heavy-load conditions, they can aid in heat dissipation, reducing the risk of tire overheating.
5. **Enhanced Tire Life**: Tyre flaps contribute to extending the life of tires by preventing early wear and damage to the tire's inner components.
Tyre flaps are typically made from rubber or synthetic materials that are resistant to wear and aging. The choice of a suitable tyre flap depends on the tire size and application. They are commonly used in various heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks, buses, construction equipment, and agricultural machinery. Proper installation and maintenance of tyre flaps are essential for ensuring their effectiveness in protecting the tire and maintaining its performance and safety.
