At the same time, the mounting hole in the center of the hub is processed with high precision, and its matching precision with the rear axle is extremely high, ensuring that when the vehicle is driving, the wheel can rotate smoothly around the rear axle, reducing vibrations and noises and improving the driving comfort. In actual driving, when the three-wheeled vehicle is driving on rugged mountain roads with a full load of goods, the hub of the steel rim of the integrated rear wheel 300-12 can, with its precise design, effectively deal with the changes in force under various complex road conditions and ensure the stable driving of the vehicle.

(3) The Closely Matching Tire Mounting System
The close cooperation between the tire and the steel rim is an important link to ensure the safe driving of the vehicle. The rim edge of the steel rim of the integrated rear wheel 300-12 has a special design, with precise dimensions and a suitable arc, which can perfectly match the tire with the specification of 300-12. When mounting the tire, through special tools and standard procedures, it is ensured that the tire is firmly mounted on the steel rim to prevent the tire from loosening or falling off during the driving process. At the same time, the sealing performance between the steel rim and the tire is good, which can effectively maintain the stability of the tire pressure and extend the service life of the tire. For example, on the three-wheeled vehicles used for long-distance freight transportation, the close cooperation between the steel rim of the integrated rear wheel 300-12 and the tire can withstand the test of long-time driving and ensure the safe delivery of the goods to the destination.

II. Operating Principles: The Coordination of Driving and Stability

(1) The Principle of Load-Bearing Support: The Foundation of Stable Driving
During the driving process of the three-wheeled vehicle, the steel rim of the integrated rear wheel 300-12 shoulders the important task of supporting the weight of the rear part of the vehicle. The weight of the rear part of the vehicle, including the weight of the carriage, the goods, and part of the vehicle frame, is all transmitted to the steel rim of the rear wheel through the rear axle. With its solid structure and high-strength material, the steel rim evenly distributes these weights to the contact surface between the tire and the ground, thus ensuring that the vehicle can drive stably on various road surfaces. Whether driving at a high speed on a flat highway or moving slowly on a muddy rural road, the steel rim of the integrated rear wheel 300-12 can consistently provide stable support, laying a solid foundation for the safe driving of the vehicle. For example, on the three-wheeled vehicles used for transporting fruits in the orchard, in the face of the uneven road surface in the orchard, the steel rim of the integrated rear wheel 300-12 can well cope with it and stably support the vehicle, ensuring the smooth progress of the fruit transportation work.

(2) The Principle of Power Transmission: The Key to Driving Forward
For the driving-type three-wheeled vehicles, the power generated by the engine or the motor is transmitted to the rear axle through the transmission system, and then the rear axle transmits the power to the steel rim of the integrated rear wheel 300-12. In this process, the matching precision among the steel rim, the hub, and the rear axle is of vital importance. Precise matching can ensure the efficient transmission of power, reduce energy loss, and enable the vehicle to obtain sufficient driving force. At the same time, the structural strength of the steel rim also determines how much torque it can bear, thus ensuring that the vehicle can still drive normally in situations such as heavy loads or climbing slopes. For example, on the agricultural three-wheeled vehicles used for transporting heavy objects in the mountainous areas, the steel rim of the integrated rear wheel 300-12 can effectively convert the power into the force for moving forward, helping the vehicle to climb the slopes smoothly and complete the transportation task.

III. Common Faults and Maintenance: The Key to Ensuring Performance

(1) Wear and Deformation: The Hidden Danger of Performance Degradation
During long-term use, due to the complex and changeable driving environment of the three-wheeled vehicle, the steel rim of the integrated rear wheel 300-12 will inevitably have problems such as wear and deformation. The wear is mainly concentrated in the parts where the rim contacts the tire, the surface where the hub matches the bearing, and the area where the steel rim contacts the braking system. Long-term friction will cause phenomena such as scratches, wear, or even peeling in these parts, reducing the strength and matching precision of the steel rim, and then generating abnormal noises and vibrations. When the wear reaches a certain extent, it may also trigger more serious problems such as tire air leakage and bearing damage, seriously affecting the driving stability and safety of the vehicle.
Deformation is usually caused by reasons such as vehicle overloading, severe impacts during driving, or long-term driving on poor road conditions. Once the steel rim of the integrated rear wheel 300-12 is deformed, it will directly affect the driving trajectory and control performance of the vehicle. For example, the deformation of the rim may cause uneven wear of the tire, which not only reduces the service life of the tire but also increases the driving resistance of the vehicle; the deformation of the hub may lead to unstable rotation of the wheel, or even the dangerous situation of losing control of the direction, posing a great safety hazard to the driver and the vehicle. Wear and deformation are like “time bombs” hidden inside the vehicle. If they are not discovered and dealt with in a timely manner, they will seriously affect the performance and safety of the vehicle and shorten the service life of the vehicle. There was once a three-wheeled vehicle engaged in short-distance freight transportation. Due to long-term overloading and poor driving road conditions, the steel rim of the integrated rear wheel 300-12 showed obvious deformation, resulting in difficult control of the vehicle’s direction during driving, and finally, it had to be sent to the factory for repair.

(2) Maintenance and Replacement: Effective Measures to Restore Performance
When faults such as wear or deformation are found in the steel rim of the integrated rear wheel 300-12, effective maintenance or replacement measures must be taken in a timely manner. For slightly worn components, a series of repair measures can be taken to restore their performance. For example, for slight scratches and wear on the surface of the rim, professional grinding equipment can be used for fine treatment to remove the surface defects, restore the smoothness, and then apply an appropriate amount of high-quality anti-rust paint and lubricating grease to reduce friction and extend the service life of the steel rim. For the wear of the matching surface between the hub and the bearing, it can be solved by adjusting the clearance or replacing the severely worn bushings to ensure that the matching between the hub and the bearing is restored to normal and the smooth rotation of the wheel is guaranteed. When carrying out these maintenance operations, professional tools and equipment are required, and the operations must be carried out strictly in accordance with the maintenance process requirements to ensure the maintenance quality.
If the steel rim is severely worn or deformed and its performance cannot be restored through repair, a new steel rim needs to be replaced in a timely manner. When replacing the steel rim, special attention should be paid to selecting products with exactly the same model and specification as the original steel rim to ensure their compatibility and adaptability.
