TIMS

Maintaining proper tire pressure results in improved fuel economy, longer tread life, improved retread-ability and increased overall productivity.

It’s a smart system – smart enough to generate real savings that can pay for the cost of installation in as little as six months. Calculate your savings now. In addition, TIMS is a smarter choice than other systems. Here’s why:

  • Wheel-end venting is provided back through the axle to virtually eliminate potential problems.
  • Tire pressure is checked automatically. When a tire is low, air is directed to the underinflated tire until proper pressure is achieved.
  • Seals and lines are non-pressurized for longer life when inflation is not required – thanks to Dana’s patented, two solenoid manifold design.

 

What’s more, TIMS is based on proven design and performance of tire pressure management technology that has been used by the military for more than two decades. Learn more about constant pressure systems and how they differ from TIMS.

Features Benefits
Available integrated with Bendix TABS6, as well as stand-alone installation Simple installation, fewer components and wiring, and ease of service
Non-pressurized seals when not inflating Longer seal life for improved uptime and reliability
Lamp on only when service required Measures actual tire pressure, not air flow, to avoid operator confusion from unnecessary/nuisance warnings
No axle tube pressurization Avoids contamination from axle tube, preventing premature seal wear and check valve sticking
No venting at wheel end Prevents wheel end contamination
Measures trailer air supply pressure Can be configured to warn when air tank pressure is low
Industry standard data-link for communications Provides tire pressure system information to tractor or off-board communications
Industry standard diagnostics, PC, and blink codes Ease of troubleshooting and service
Data logging Retains inflation history, service codes
In-line check valves isolate tires Prevents tire from losing air if tire hose becomes damaged
