Balancing machines (balancing stands) are one of the main devices that are located at service stations. They are designed to work with wheels of cars as well as trucks. Moreover, the balancing process itself can be carried out either statically or dynamically.
Wheels at the wheels are very diverse. Modern balancing stands are able to work with steel as well as alloy models. The above equipment may only be used indoors. In this case, you need to monitor the ambient temperature. As a rule, during frosty times balancing stands cannot be operated.
How are the stands arranged?
At the bottom of the stand balancing (tire) has a built-in ruler, which is located above the bed. In this case, the casing with the cells is located above it. The mounting screws that are needed for the processing unit to work are installed next to the display. There is a shaft cover on the side of the device. Next is a large pulley that abuts the spring.
A set of cones is installed on the right side of the equipment, as well as a quick-detent stop. There is a brake system under the electric motor of the balancing stand. A bolt is provided for fixing the wheel, and there is a special finger for centering. To adjust the position of the shaft, a lifting mechanism is installed.
Important device features
The main characteristics of balancing stands are the permissible dimensions of the width and diameter of the rim. This takes into account the weight of the corrective load. Additionally, manufacturers indicate an error indicator in the weight of the wheel. The correction angle, which is measured in degrees, directly affects the balancing.
Among other things, attention is drawn to the discharge parameter of the digital indicator. Permissible wheel weight depends on the model of the stand. At the same time, the installation time of the operating mode can vary greatly. The quality of the device is also affected by the duration of the measurement cycle, as well as the time of continuous operation. In turn, the power of the consumed network depends on the limit frequency. The overall dimensions of the device in this case play an important role. There is a balancing stand (tire) on average 3500 euros.
