What is the function of wheel balancing weights?
1 Answers
Wheel balancing weights are used to maintain dynamic balance when the wheels rotate at high speeds. Also known as tire balancing weights, they are counterweight components installed on the wheels of vehicles. When car wheels rotate at high speeds, dynamic imbalance can occur, causing wheel wobbling and steering wheel vibration during driving. To prevent or eliminate this phenomenon, wheel balancing is performed by adding counterweights to correct the balance of various edge parts under dynamic conditions. Due to complex road conditions, various factors can affect tires and rims, such as hitting curbs or driving at high speeds on bumpy roads, which may easily cause rim deformation. Therefore, it is recommended to perform tire dynamic balancing when rotating the wheels.
