To the untrained eye a wheel may look simple, but many factors influence a wheels life. Fatigue failure determines the length of a wheel’s operational life, which can be affected by a wide range of factors, such as: machine type; service style; driving style; ground conditions; tyre interaction and pressure; and the manufacturing process. Fatigue testing is a complex and highly skilled process. If left undetected, wheel fatigue failure can have serious consequences, and so professional design and testing is vital in assuring safety and quality. At our GKN Wheels’ purpose-built facility in Brescia, Italy an Woodridge, Illinois these extensive tests can be carried out. Find out more about how GKN Wheels can help.
