Product description

The Snap-On Fork Spacer is a specialized shim or spacing component used within the bead breaker fork assembly of high-volume tire changing machines. This precision spacer is designed to maintain the correct gap and alignment between the bead breaker shovel and the supporting arm, ensuring that the force is applied accurately to the tire bead without binding or uneven wear. Constructed from durable, wear-resistant materials, it is built to handle the constant mechanical movement and pressure associated with breaking down thousands of tires. Proper spacing is critical for the smooth operation of the bead breaker system; a worn or missing spacer can lead to inefficient operation or even damage to the machine's pivot hardware and pneumatic cylinders.
