HAOSAIL's wheel balancer machine is also a very popular product. Almost every customer who plans to open an auto repair shop will choose to buy our wheel balancer machine. This is due to our control of product quality and strict quality inspection.

Friends who have replaced new tires must be familiar with the term dynamic balancing, but what is dynamic balancing for? What are the consequences of imbalance? These are all issues we usually consider when repairing and maintaining cars.

● The significance of dynamic balancing of wheel balancer machines

In simple terms, the significance of using a wheel balancer machine to calibrate the dynamic balance of wheels is to keep the wheels in a balanced state after they are turned. Many friends still confuse the concepts of dynamic balancing and four-wheel alignment. Here we emphasize again: the dynamic balancing of a wheel balancer machine is to adjust the balance of the wheels, while the four-wheel alignment is to adjust the suspension parameters.

Many people may ask, the rim and tire are both round, how can they be unbalanced when they rotate? In fact, although the two major components of the wheel are round in shape, it is impossible to achieve an absolute circle due to the detailed design. For example, the wheel rim is designed with a valve, and the weight of this small thing will affect the rotation balance. In this case, the wheel balancer is very important.

For tires, which are made of soft materials, there is also the factor of being out of round. After the rim and tire are assembled together, it is naturally impossible to guarantee that they are a round object with absolutely symmetrical weight. The rim may also be out of round during the manufacturing and transportation process. Therefore, we have to have a separate "balancing" step for the wheel.

As for the question of when to use a wheel balancer for dynamic balancing, it is very simple. You just need to remember one thing: as long as you complete the work of assembling the tire and the rim together, you need to do a set of dynamic balancing adjustments.

It should be noted here that whether it is for replacing rims or replacing old tires with new ones, even if nothing is changed and the tire is just removed from the rim for inspection, as long as the rim and tire are separated and reassembled, a wheel balancer is required for dynamic balancing.

In addition to changing rims and tires, you should also pay more attention to it at ordinary times. If you find that the steering wheel is shaking, you should first check whether the dynamic balance is abnormal. In addition, factors such as rim deformation, tire repair, installation of tire pressure monitoring module, and replacement of valve stems of different materials will affect the dynamic balance. It is recommended to use a wheel balancer to do a set of dynamic balancing in the above situations to ensure the normal use of the wheel.

If the tire is not in a balanced state when rolling, you can feel it when driving. The main feeling is that the wheel will jump regularly, which is reflected in the steering wheel shaking inside the car. Although the steering wheel shaking phenomenon may also be caused by other factors, it is still recommended to check the dynamic balance first when encountering steering wheel shaking, which has a higher probability. In addition, the vehicle will produce resonance when driving at a certain speed. In short, it will not be pleasant for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

In addition, when the imbalance is more serious, the tire may also wear unevenly due to abnormal lateral swing, and the tire life will also be affected. In short, the impact of wheel imbalance on the vehicle itself is not worth the cost, so the wheel balancer machine is one of the indispensable equipment for car repair.
