Wheel-Check Safety Inc. Wheel-Check
Wheel-Check can identify a loose wheel nut with a simple visual
inspection. When the wheel nuts are properly torqued to specs, the
Wheel-Checks are then placed on the wheel nuts in a uniformed
pattern. Once a wheel-nut has loosened, the Wheel-Check will
become out of sequence. It will be visible when the driver does his
or her walk-around check. A wheel bearing failure can have grave
consequences if it occurs while driving at highway speeds and
the vehicle loses a wheel. This is why the wheel bearings should
always be inspected. A driver will be required to go to maintenance
and have a thorough assessment on the problem wheel.
Wheel-Checks are also heat sensitive. If there is a binding
brake or seized bearing, the heat is transferred through
the stud and nut.Once the temperature exceeds 120º
C (248º F), the Wheel-Check will start to blister around
the circumference and eventually start to distort.

CAPTRON Electronic GmbH
Electronic Door Opening Buttons
for Glass Mounting
CAPTRON offers manufacturers the
perfect solution for fast and cost-effective
assembly in the interior and exterior
areas of buses and railway vehicles.
Modern door opening buttons open up
new prospects for car manufacturers of
passenger transport. CAPTRON’s electronic
door openers (SENSORswitch) allow onesided
or two-sided operation through glass
from the inside and outside of the vehicle.
For mounting without drilling, the
SENSORswitches are glued on or behind glass
using a high-strength industrial adhesive tape.
Due to its impact-resistant and waterproof
construction, CAPTRON’s electronic
door opening buttons are particularly
resistant to extreme weather conditions.
