Wheels, as one of the components of the car suspension system, are made up of many components and parts. This system, which receives the first impact from the road when the car is moving, is always exposed to impact, friction, dust and transitory suspended particles. Plus, tire, rim, dog hand, wheel bearing, helmet and connections of this system are its different components. Of course, to some extent, the brake disc of the brake system can also be considered as a part of the car wheel system. As mentioned, the wheels and their accessories are exposed to dust and pollution transferred from the road surface. These contaminations and particles can lead to damage to the brake disc, wheel bearing and their connections. As a result, the need to protect this system from such contamination seems essential. Protection entrusted to the hood of the car. Stay with us; In this article, we want to learn interesting things about Qalpaq

What is Qalpaq and what is its function in the car?

Connecting the rim to the disc and the wheel bearing, depending on the type of bearing, a screw or wheel nut is used, which play the role of wheel system connections. But these connections, whatever they are, are finally visible from the exterior of the car. To cover them and beautify a part of the side view of the cars, they use Qalpaq, which is a kind of cover plate. The cap, which is actually the cover of the rim and tire set, is placed in the central part of the rim and hides the bolts and nuts of this set. Of course, Qalpak also has the role of protecting the car's wheel system against dust and environmental pollution. Qalpaq, which means pot door in Turkish, consists of a round metal plate, and its original designer was implemented by Daimler in his car. According to what was said, the following duties can be considered for Qalpaq:

  • Protection of car wheel system
  • The beauty of the wheels and the side view of the car

It should be noted that the hood and the rim cannot be considered as a common piece. As the skeleton of the wheel system, the rim is responsible for holding the tire, but the cap is the cover and protection of the inner part of the rim. Therefore, in many cases, what we see in the appearance of the car wheel has nothing to do with the rim.

Types of car hoods based on the material and how to install it

Galpaks were generally made of aluminum in the old days. Of course, in the distant past, it was popular to use wooden protectors that looked like kalpaks for cart wheels and early cars. But over time, other materials such as plastic and polymer were added to the materials used in making Qalpaq. Of course, the use of aluminum caps is still common. Qalpaqs are divided into two categories based on the way they ride on the ring, which is due to:

  • Spring caps: between the wheel bolts and They are placed on the rim and secured to the rim with the same screws.
  • Gasket caps: They are locked and fixed in place with tabs built around them.
  • Of course, the hoods are produced in different sizes and models, which according to the type of wheels, rims size, car model, its class and many other cases, you should choose the right model for each car. He chose between them.

Types of car hoods based on the type of rim

Choosing the type of helmet, first of all, directly depends on the type of rim. In this way, two types of rims are designed and produced according to the two types of rims available in the automotive industry. These two types are:

1. Metal rim caps

Metal rim caps, which are generally made of metal, are placed in the form of a small cap in the center of the wheel and rim and prevent particles from entering the bearing. This type of hood is also used in rim sport cars.

2. Steel rim caps

This type of cap is made of plastic or polymer and is designed as a larger cap. Of course, metal models are also made, but car manufacturers usually use plastic caps for steel rims. This hood, which is the same as the inner diameter of the rim, covers the space between the rim and its center (where the screws are located). The steel rim cover is more aesthetic than protective.

It is necessary and important to use a steel rim cap to prevent pollutants from penetrating into the bearing assembly and wheel system. Its use is recommended by repairmen and it is better to replace this part as soon as possible if it falls or is damaged. Sometimes, in steel rim models, a small hood is also used in the center of the wheel and rim. Therefore, it is almost mandatory to use a metal rim cover, but it is not necessary to use a steel rim cover.

Important specifications of the car hood

< div class="single-container">

Galpak should match the car class and rim type in some ways. In fact, the conditions of the hood should be in harmony with the conditions specified by the company, so that there is a possible problem in the system's performance Do not create wheels. These items are:

  • Rim diameter
  • Weight
  • Material

that the weight of the hood does not prevent the correct operation of the wheels, its diameter is in harmony with the diameter of the rim, and of course the material has the necessary quality to withstand possible impacts, among the points are important in choosing a hat. Other things such as anti-rust, anti-moisture, anti-scratch and flexibility of this piece are of the next importance.
