A laminate wheel protector (10, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 90, 180) includes layers of canvas cloth impregnated with synthetic resin that is polymerized through heat and pressure for insulating a hub or drum of a machine from a wheel. A method for creating a laminate wheel protector (10, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 90, 180) includes applying pressure to layers of canvas saturated in synthetic resin, applying heat to polymerize to create a laminate, cutting the laminate to form an outer circular circumference, an inner circular opening and a plurality of bolt holes. The laminate wheel protector (10, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 90, 180) has numerous advantages including preventing oxidation, rust, and galvanic electrolysis between metallic surfaces, reduce heat transfer and vibration, increase longevity and provide proper contact between metallic surfaces among numerous other advantages.
An apparatus for protection of metallic components in a wheel assembly, including:
The use of a laminate material to protect metallic components in a wheel assembly, wherein the laminate material is provided in the form of a circular laminate piece having a main inner opening, an outer diameter and a plurality of stud holes around the circular laminate piece between the main inner opening and the outer diameter.
A method of protecting metallic components in a wheel assembly, including the steps of:
A method of creating a circular laminate piece to protect metallic components in a wheel assembly, including the steps of:
