Zusammenfassung:A system for detection of non-pneumatic tire loading is disclosed. The system (50) comprises a non-pneumatic tire (10). The non-pneumatic tire includes a ground-contacting annular tread (12); a central rim (20); at least one spoke disk (18) disposed between the rim (20) and the tread (12), the at least one spoke disk (18) including an inner ring (24) mounted on the central rim (20), an outer ring (26), and a plurality of spokes (22) extending radially between the inner ring (24) and the outer ring (26); a shear band (14) disposed between the outer ring (26) of the at least one spoke disk (18) and the tread (12); and a flange (42) disposed on an outboard surface (52) of the plurality of spokes (22) of the at least one spoke disk (18). The system (50) further includes indicating or sensing means (54, 54a, 54b) formed or located on the outboard surface (52) of the plurality of spokes (22) of the at least one spoke disk (18) radially outwardly of the flange (42), wherein the flange (42) interfaces with the indicating or sensing means (54, 54a, 54b) when the tire (10) is in an overloaded state or is in need of replacement.
