VisiTyre Enabled Rims and Brakes

__________________________________________________________________________

VisiTyre TPMS is quite different to all conventional TPMS which use battery powered radio frequency transmitter modules and are either attached to valve stems or are attached to a wheel rim's dropwell centre using large steel "bands". Unfortunately, both of these implementations are inherently prone to failures due to battery exhaustion and to damage during tire fitting procedures.

In order to overcome the limitations of the battery systems, VisiTyre's Batteryless TPMS technology uses a "zero maintenance" architecture which represents a radical departure from the previous failure prone implementations . . . .

1.) The VisiTyre Batteryless Sensor is fully integrated into the vehicle's wheel rims; and
2.) The VisiTyre Pick Up coil is fully integrated into the vehicle's brake caliper assemblies.

The following series of photographs show how the VisiTyre technology is implemented to achieve "VisiTyre Enabled Rims" and "VisiTyre Enabled Brake Calipers" . . .
