Products classified under HTS 8477.90.86.40
Tread Ring Expander Tool
Pneumatic expander tool that stretches and positions the uncured tread ring onto the tire carcass in forming machines for pneumatic tires. It is a part under HTS 8477.90.86.40 for precise tire shaping.
Tire Building Drum
A cylindrical drum used in tire forming machines to shape and layer uncured rubber plies, beads, and sidewalls into a green tire carcass. It falls under HTS 8477.90.86.40 as a key part of machines specifically for forming pneumatic tires, enabling precise radial or bias ply construction.
Ply Severing Knife Assembly
Precision cutting assembly with rotating blades for severing rubber plies to exact lengths during tire building on forming machines. Classified under HTS 8477.90.86.40 as it is a dedicated component for pneumatic tire forming equipment, ensuring accurate material feed.
Bead Ring Applicator Mechanism
Automated mechanism that positions and seats wire-reinforced bead rings onto the tire carcass during the forming process in pneumatic tire machines. It is specifically a part of tire forming machines under HTS 8477.90.86.40, critical for structural integrity.
Green Tire Transfer Ring
Expandable ring that grips and transfers the shaped green tire from the building drum to the next station in forming machines. Falls under HTS 8477.90.86.40 as an integral part for handling uncured pneumatic tires during formation.
Servomotor for Tire Former Positioning
High-precision servomotor controlling the axial and radial positioning of components in pneumatic tire forming machines. Classified in HTS 8477.90.86.40 due to its dedicated role in tire building automation.
Shaper Head Bladder Assembly
Inflatable rubber bladder in the shaper head of tire forming machines that expands to shape the inner liner and crown the green tire. Specifically for pneumatic tire formers under HTS 8477.90.86.40.
Centering Guide Rail Set
Adjustable rail set that centers plies and components on the tire building drum during pneumatic tire formation. A precision part of tire forming machines per HTS 8477.90.86.40.
Ply Stitcher Roller Unit
Motorized roller unit that presses and stitches rubber plies to eliminate air pockets in tire forming machines for pneumatics. Classified under HTS 8477.90.86.40 as a core shaping component.
Inflation Control Valve Manifold
Manifold assembly regulating air pressure for bladder inflation in pneumatic tire shaping heads of forming machines. Dedicated part under HTS 8477.90.86.40.
