Portable And Durable, The Wheel Balancer Stabilises Your Vehicle
There are a lot of benefits to having correctly balanced tyres. Tyre wear and stability are the main reasons. Having correctly balanced wheels will also give you a much smoother drive or ride if you are on your motorcycle. Regardless of whether you are a hobbyist and enjoy doing a little maintenance on your car or motorcycle at home or if you are a professional tyre technician, eBay has a great range of automotive wheel balancers online for you to look through.
Automotive wheel balancers and their function
Automotive wheel balancers are essential for any automotive shop or home workshop. The most common type is the dynamic wheel balancer. Dynamic wheel balancers are bigger, more powerful machines, and they’re very accurate, which means they can do a lot of work quickly and well. They are heavy-duty machines, and essentially, the wheel is put on a motorised spindle. This spindle simulates the same spinning forces as if the wheel were attached to the car.
Another type of balancer is a static balancer. It works by putting the tyre on a vertical spindle and measuring the balance of the tyre using sensors mounted on the spindle assembly. Although these devices are less accurate, they are easier to use and are portable. This type of automotive wheel balancing is also known as a bubble balancer. Here, a centre bubble in an oil-filled sighting gauge indicates the unbalance angle.
Most automotive wheel balancers will spin the wheel for a few seconds to balance it. Once the wheel is balanced correctly, a readout will appear on the screen. It will show the weight in each of the four corners of the wheel.
You should follow the manufacturer's instructions when mounting a tyre on a balancer.
