Application: KC-135 Main Landing Gear (MLG) and Nose Landing Gear (NLG) Wheel Assemblies
1. General Scope
The requested Aircraft Tire Bead Breaker must enable a single technician to quickly and safely break narrow- and wide-body bias and radial tires without causing damage to the wheel halves or rubber. The system must strictly adhere to the safety, maintenance, and operational directives outlined in Air Force Technical Orders (T.O.) 4W1-61, 4W3-2-12-3, 4W1-2-212-2, and 44B-1-3.
2. Functional & Performance Requirements
To process the specific dimensions and high-ply ratings of KC-135 wheel assemblies, the system shall meet the following parameters:
Wheel/Tire Capacity: Must accommodate wheel diameters from 12 inches to at least 34 inches, tire diameters up to 68 inches, and tire widths up to 26.5 inches.
Breaking Force: Must be capable of delivering a minimum breaking force of 60, 000 lbs to safely separate heavy mobility aircraft tires.
Spade Adjustment System: Must feature a one-touch power/automatic adjustment system. This system must allow all four spade segments on each head assembly to adjust to the desired wheel diameter simultaneously via a single adjustment, ensuring equal pressure around the entire tire bead diameter to prevent wheel gouging (per T.O. 4W1-61).
Lift System: Head assembly height must be adjustable via a positive displacement hydraulic system to rapidly accommodate different wheel assembly sizes.
3. Design & Safety Controls
To comply with shop equipment standards (T.O. 44B-1-3) and ensure single-user safety:
Control Interface: Must include a remote control allowing the operator to adjust height, width, and spade positioning from a safe distance.
Safety Stops: Must include a hard-wired emergency stop (E-stop) button.b...
