Is Wheel Rotation Used for Dynamic Balancing?
1 Answers
Wheel rotation, if it involves swapping the front and rear tires of a vehicle, does not require dynamic balancing. This is because the process only involves the removal and installation of the wheel assembly, not the disassembly and reassembly of the tires. Dynamic balancing is only necessary when the tire and rim are reassembled, such as when replacing the rim, changing the tire, repairing a puncture, installing a tire pressure monitoring module, or switching to valve stems made of different materials. Dynamic balancing not only eliminates the force couple caused by dynamic imbalance but also removes the centrifugal force from static imbalance. Therefore, it can be used to balance various cylindrical rotors, such as those in centrifugal compressors or large electric motors.
