Zvinhu zvemazuva ano zvematayi emhepo zviri synthetic rubber, natural rubber, machira uye waya, pamwe chete nekabhoni dema uye mamwe makemikari makemikari. Iwo anoumbwa ne tread uye muviri. Iyo tread inopa traction nepo muviri uchipa kudzora kwehuwandu hwemhepo yakamanikidzwa. Rubber isati yagadzirwa, shanduro dzekutanga dzematayi dzaingova mabhendi esimbi akaiswa kutenderedza mavhiri emapuranga kudzivirira kupfeka uye kubvaruka. Matayi ekutanga erabha aive akaomarara (kwete pneumatic). Matayi emhepo anoshandiswa pamhando dzakawanda dzemotokari, kusanganisira mota, mabhasikoro, midhudhudhu, mabhazi, michina inorema, uye ndege. Matayi esimbi achiri kushandiswa pamotokari uye zvitima, uye matayi akaomarara (kana mamwe mapolymer) achiri kushandiswa mune akasiyana-siyana asiri emotokari, senge mamwe casters, mota dzinotenderera, mota dzinotenderera, uye maviri-mavhiri. Mubvunzo: Ndeapi mashandisirwo emhepo?
mabhasikoro, midhudhudhu
