What is the operation method of dynamic balancing?
2 Answers
The operation method of dynamic balancing is: 1. Inflate the tire to the appropriate pressure, remove the lead weights on the rim, clean out the stones in the tire tread grooves, and clean the rim; 2. Install the tire with the mounting surface facing inward on the balancing shaft, select the appropriate cone, and secure the tire with the locking device; 3. Turn on the power of the balancing machine, pull out the ruler to measure the distance between the rim and the balancing machine, the width of the rim, and the diameter of the rim, and input the measured data in sequence; 4. Press the start button, the balancing machine begins to rotate the tire for measurement, be careful not to stand near the tire to avoid danger; 5. The balancing machine automatically stops after obtaining the data; 6. Rotate the tire until all position lights on one side of the balancing machine are fully lit (different models may display differently), then hammer the corresponding weight of lead blocks at the highest point of the rim on this side (the 12 o'clock position), and do the same on the other side; 7. Repeat the steps after step 4 until the balancing machine displays 0; 8. The dynamic balancing is completed, remove the tire.
As a car mechanic, I often perform wheel balancing, and the whole process is actually quite simple. First, lift the car, remove the wheel, and mount it on the balancing machine. Input the tire dimensions and let the machine spin. It will show the unbalanced points and weights, then you attach small lead weights or adjust positions on the inner side of the rim and retest until the reading returns to zero. Remember to ensure the wheel is securely mounted and not loose during operation—safety first. I’ve encountered cases where beginners forgot to clean the rim surface, causing the weights to not stick properly, so I always remind everyone to clean it first before proceeding. For tools, it’s essential to choose a reliable balancing machine—don’t skimp on the small cost. The whole process takes about ten minutes and helps prevent steering wheel vibrations at high speeds. It’s best to check it regularly every time you change tires or after driving 5,000 kilometers.
