Ford Ranger Alloy Wheel Force Forged (forged) Matte Black
The Force20 beadlock wheel has a two-piece construction and is offered either as a delta Force20 Monoblock Casted using a low-pressure casting process or as a delta Force20 Forged wheel.
The main difference between the two models lies in the strength they are designed for: the forged beadlock wheel is tested for a wheel load of 2,500 kg, while the beadlock casted is manufactured for a load capacity of 1,800 kg. Both wheels are designed so that tires can be mounted with or without a beadlock ring.
What is Beadlock Technology?
This is a mechanical device that firmly connects the tire to the rim: In a wheel with the usual standard construction, the tire is pressed against the rim flange by the inflation pressure and thus secured. If the air pressure drops, the tire loses its grip and can consequently slip completely off the rim. This happens, for example, if there is a hole in the tire or if the inflation pressure has been deliberately reduced for off-road use to build up more traction on sand, snow, or mud due to the increased flexing. To prevent this dangerous situation for vehicle and driver, the tire is pressed onto the rim flange with a beadlock ring during assembly using delta4x4's beadlock technology. This ensures the tire is always firmly connected to the rim – whether with or without air.
Even during extremely strong acceleration or braking, the friction forces between the rim and tire may not be sufficient, so that both components can rotate against each other. This is also prevented by the beadlock system, which mechanically fixes the tire (in English, "lock"). The word "bead," on the other hand, means "rim seat." Thus, beadlock stands for "a tire that is mechanically fixed in the rim seat."
Where are beadlock wheels used?
Basically, this technology comes from the military sector, where care is taken to ensure that operational vehicles remain operational even after a complete loss of air in the tires. The armed forces require their vehicles to be able to travel up to 100 kilometers for a short time at a speed of 80 km/h. This is made possible by beadlock technology with a beadlock ring and a run-flat insert.
Meanwhile, beadlock wheels are increasingly used in the civilian sector – for example, in armored vehicles and increasingly also in expedition vehicles and long-distance rallies. Here, the advantage is that the inflation pressure in the tires can be reduced to a minimum without the tire coming off the rim.
