Lubricants for Tire Uniformity Testing Machines

Tire uniformity testing machines are used to precisely evaluate the quality and consistency of manufactured vehicle tires. Their primary purpose is to ensure that every tire meets high requirements for smooth running, comfort, and safety.

For the test, the tire is mounted on a test rim. Bead glide agents support uniform mounting and repeatable seating of the bead on the rim and in the machine’s fixture. During the test, the tires are loaded under controlled conditions and measured while rotating. The machines record parameters such as force variation, runout deviations, imbalance, and other geometric characteristics of the tire. This data indicates whether a tire runs uniformly or whether irregularities are present that could later lead to vibrations, noise, or reduced driving comfort. By using a bead glide agent, defined and uniform positioning is supported—helping to reduce measurement disturbances caused by friction or stress and improving the completeness and accuracy of the measurements.

Based on the results, the tires are classified (“graded”) and can be assigned to specific vehicle classes or production requirements. At the same time, the measurement data helps manufacturers optimize production processes and maintain quality standards.

Overall, tire uniformity testing machines help ensure consistently high tire quality, improve ride comfort, and minimize safety risks.

PROMOL® TU 4525/17 is a water-based lubricant to facilitate mounting of cured tires on uniformity testing machines.

The product offers numerous advantages:

  • free of silicones, soaps, solvents, oils and fillers
  • balanced lubrication effect for easy mounting while avoiding slip
  • improvement of testing consistency and test method accuracy
  • optimization of throughput and capacity use of uniformity testing machines
  • fast drying after testing
  • does not leave any visible residues on the tire
  • protection against corrosion
