Non-Banded Massive Tire IZh 2162 for Grain Loader

Non-Banded Massive Tire IZh 2162 for Grain Loader Undercarriage Wheels

The non-banded massive tire IZh 2162 is the outer contact and primary wear-resistant element of the support wheels (ZPT 1.6.2) for the undercarriage of both classic ZM-60/60A and modern ZM series (ZM-60U, ZM-90U, ZM-120U) and ZMB grain loaders. In the wheel assembly design, this massive rubber component is mounted directly onto the steel rim ZPT 1.6.2.1 and functions as a durable working tread between the machine's metal structure and the ground surface. The tire itself bears all the primary abrasive load from friction against concrete or asphalt during turns and intensive heavy unit operations into a pile.

The main engineering advantage of the IZh 2162 tire is its solid-cast structure. Since the tire has no pneumatic chamber, it is absolutely invulnerable to punctures, deep cuts, or driving over sharp metal debris, which is a typical occurrence on threshing floors. In the design of our modernized pendulum two-wheel drive, two such tires operate on the front axle, forming a dual rigid contact area. This guarantees the massive grain loader stable traction, predictable handling, and completely eliminates the risk of sudden equipment downtime due to tire damage in the peak of the season.

The main engineering distinction of this part is the absence of an internal reinforcing metal ring (band). For reliable seating onto the metal base, the tire's internal diameter is manufactured with a negative tolerance relative to the external dimensions of the steel disk ZPT 1.6.2.1 — this geometry creates calculated tension during press-fitting, allowing the rubber to be fixed on the rim solely by friction force and the material's own elasticity, without the use of additional fasteners.

The rubber compound composition is developed with specific threshing floor operating conditions in mind. The industrial rubber has high resistance to abrasive wear against hard surfaces such as concrete pads or asphalt. The massive material layer resists chipping when driving over small stones or spilled grain; furthermore, the rubber does not crack under UV exposure in open areas and retains its structural integrity and elasticity during winter storage of the machine in unheated hangars.

In the context of the modernized two-wheel front drive, using a pair of these tires on a pendulum axle provides a significant operational advantage, as distributing the heavy machine's weight across two support points proportionally reduces specific pressure on each tire individually. This slows down tread wear and extends the overall working life of the product compared to its operation on a classic single-wheel strut.

Related Components and Contact Assemblies

The massive IZh 2162 tire is the external working element of the wheel assembly, so its reliable fixation and proper operation depend on the condition of the parts that form the metal base and the axis of rotation. According to the kinematic scheme of the two-wheel front drive, the adjacent components of this assembly include:

• Wheel rim ZPT 1.6.2.1
• Rubber-coated wheel ZPT 1.6.2 (assembled)
• Wheel hub ZPT 1007
• Balancer wheel axle OVI 01.023
• Fastening parts

Depending on the mold used in production, the working contact surface of the IZh 2162 tire may have a different tread pattern. The factory standard is a design with parallel blocks or a staggered lug arrangement — both pattern variants are designed for stable contact with dusty concrete or asphalt surfaces and ensure equal self-cleaning of the rubber from stuck mud while the unit is moving. The external dimensions of the tire itself remain constant — 400 mm diameter and 100 mm width. At the same time, thanks to the transition to a two-wheel front drive scheme (installing two tires on one pendulum axle), the machine's total contact area with the surface is doubled, which compensates for the need to install non-standard wide tires for basic operational tasks.

A typical operational problem on threshing floors is the gradual sliding of the rubber off the metal rim under the influence of strong lateral (torsional) forces during sharp turns of a loaded machine. In the classic version, the tire is held on the disk solely by the negative tolerance of the internal diameter, friction force, and mechanical tension after seat-fitting on a press. For farms with rough ground where the risk of the tire coming off is increased, Zavod Moroza can apply an alternative technology — applying the rubber layer using the hot vulcanization method (lining). In this process, the raw rubber compound polymerizes and is welded directly to the steel disk, forming an inseparable monolithic wheel assembly. A vulcanized tire withstands extreme lateral loads without shifting, which eliminates the need to monitor its seating on the rim and increases the overall undercarriage resource.
