Other terms you need to understand include:
•
Wheel . A circular metal piece that attaches to an axle and rotates.
•
Tire
. A circular rubber piece that surrounds and attaches to a Wheel; more specifically, to the
Rim, which is the part of the Wheel that directly touches the Tire. Most Tires are pneumatically
inflated (filled with a gas, such as air, helium, or nitrogen) and made out of rubber (synthetic or
natural).
• Rim . The part of a Wheel that directly attaches to a Tire; almost always the outer portion of the
Wheel. Because modern Wheels are frequently created from a single piece of metal, “Wheel” and
“Rim” are sometimes used interchangeably.
• Hub . The part of a Wheel that is not the Rim; the central portion of the Wheel.
• Imbalance . An unbalanced weight distribution in a Wheel; it can cause uneven rotation (which
results in Wheel wobble, uneven Tire wear, and Vehicle vibration). To correct an imbalance, a
weight must be applied opposite the imbalance.
• Planes . When a Wheel is figuratively divided down the middle into two sections, it creates two
planes; called Inner and Outer (see About Wheel Planes for more information). Balancing is
more effective when planes are analyzed for imbalance separately (and addressed separately),
called Dynamic Balancing. Inner and Outer planes are
not the same as the specific locations on
the Wheel where Weight can be added, identified as Inner Edge, Inner Plane, Center Plane, Outer
Plane and Outer Edge.
• Clip-On Weights . Metal weights that are held in place on the Wheel by clipping them to the
Inner or Outer Edge
.
Older Clip-On Weights made of lead should not be used
as they
are a hazard to the environment; they are also illegal to use in many countries and some states in
the U.S.
• Adhesive Weights . Weights that are flat and held in place on the Wheel with adhesive; they get
placed on the Inner, Outer, or Center Plane. Adhesive Weights come in both black and gray,
making them harder to see.
•
Placement Indicators
. Light up when the ideal weight location is reached.
• Balancing Modes . The Balancer supports Dynamic Balancing, Static Balancing, and Aluminum
Alloy Balancing Modes.
•
Dynamic Balancing
. Balancing a steel Wheel where each of the two planes are analyzed
separately. If there is an imbalance, the two planes are brought back into balance separately.
Dynamic Balancing is a more recent technology than Static Balancing and generally produces a
better balance.
• Static Balancing . Balancing a Wheel as a whole; that is, on a single plane only. Static Balancing
is required for motorcycle Wheels and older Wheels that are 4 inches wide or less; also used if only
Adhesive Weights can be attached on the Center Plane of the Wheel.
•
Aluminum Alloy Balancing
. Balancing Wheels made of aluminum alloy. The Weights are
placed differently on these Wheels. You will need to know where you want to put the Weights and
select the appropriate ALU Mode. ALU Modes generally use Adhesive Weights, which are less
visible than Clip-On Weights.
