What is the function of balance weights?
1 Answers
Balance weights serve the following purposes: 1. Maintain dynamic balance of wheels during high-speed rotation; 2. Extend tire service life and ensure normal vehicle performance; 3. Reduce wear on vehicle suspension systems; 4. Minimize component wear caused by wheel imbalance during driving. Balance weights, also known as tire balance weights, are counterweight components installed on wheels. They reduce vibration amplitude during high-speed rotation by minimizing mass differences between tires. The installation method of balance weights depends on wheel hub material: 1. For steel hubs, simply hammer the weights directly onto the rim; 2. For aluminum alloy hubs, double-sided adhesive tape is required for attachment.
