Abstract

Simultaneous tyre wrench product is an improvement study, before this, there is a product that helps to remove the nut from the wheels that used PCD 100. The mechanism that been used to operate the product is using chain. The common problem using the chain is slipping and need to maintain rapidly to achieve its performance. The simultaneous tyre wrench is produced by using a different mechanism which is geared. The gear that been used for this product is from the motorcycle gearbox. The STW is produced to help and solve basically the common problem that related with the four-wheeler, which it can help during the process of changing the problem tyre with the spare tyre. Remove the tyre, it takes time due to the amount of torque needed is quite high. The simultaneous tyre wrench helps remove the wheel nut by it designed that ergonomic to use which is easy to handle, and do not require a large space to store it. This product is more focused on the four wheels car that has the pitch circle diameter 100 or PCD 100. For the analysis of this product basically, it will go through a certain test. The material properties test which are hardness test, impact test, and torsion test. The materials that been compared is stainless steel and aluminum shaft. After the product been produced it been tested on the car that used PCD 100. The product has also been tested using L-shaft and air gun to find out the limit of torque that can be applied to it during the process. Torsion, impact, and hardness test show that stainless steel is the strong and suitable material to be used for STW product because the hardness number is higher compared to aluminum and the ability of stainless steel that can withstand high torque during the test compared to aluminum. After that, STW has been tested by using an air gun and it shows that the maximum amount that can be applied for it, is 4 Nm because the product vibrates strongly and produce abnormal sound.
