AEG Carbon Fiber-Polyurethane Solid Tire


Military Tire-WHEEL (MTW) ASSEMBLY FOR Future tactical and combat vehicles is placing emphasis on handling, traction, and cornering tire performance for the light trucks. In order to meet these high performance standards, solid tire with aspect ratio lower than 0.35 have been developed by American Engineering Group (AEG), Akron, Ohio

  • Tire Size: LT225/35R19
  • Rim Width: 7.0 inches
  • Tread Width: 7.6inches
  • Overall Diameter: 25.0 inches
  • Speed rating:80mph

AEG aims to eliminate tire blowouts with its remarkable integrated Carbon Fiber Ring-Wheel “MTW” assembly, a solid one-piece wheel-and-tread system that could soon enter manufacturing. The MTW's rim is bonded to soft polyurethane foam that provides the shock-absorbing property of a traditional pneumatic tire. The circumference of the soft polyurethane foam layer is bonded to a Carbon Fiber ring along with tire tread. By varying the thickness and geometry of the polyurethane soft layer, this unique tire-wheel assembly can generate a wide array of ride and handling performance.

MTW’s vertical stiffness (ride comfort performance) and lateral stiffness (handling and cornering performance) can both be optimized, pushing the performance envelope in various military applications.

AEG Torsional Damper - brief description

By
American Engineering Group (AEG) has developed a new “Dual Torsional Damper System”. This new AEG system design will allow varying static properties and provide dynamic shock and vibration mitigation over a wide load range for automotive and industrial applications. This dual structure system provides both axial and radial damping. The torsional damper system will have two elastomer elements with top element functions as a vibration damping element and the bottom spherical elastomer element as a noise & harness damping element. AEG dual mode damper system includes a spherical soft viscous bushing hub designed for being rigidly connected to a drive shaft, and an inertia ring, connected to the hub by means of a thin Polyurethane material layer. This dual-layer elastomer damper system is designed for torsional vibration reduction of the crankshaft system on multi-cylinder engine for vehicles. AEG polyurethane torsional dampers are designed to provide significant reduction of sou...
