definition:
Wheel weight, also known as tire wheel weight. It is the counterweight component installed on the wheel of the vehicle. The function of the wheel weight is to keep the dynamic balance of the wheel under high-speed rotation.
Principle:
The mass of each part of any object will be different. Under static and low-speed rotation, the uneven mass will affect the stability of object rotation. The higher the speed, the greater the vibration. The function of the wheel weight is to narrow the quality gap of the wheel as much as possible to achieve a relatively balanced state.
Background:
With the improvement of highway conditions and the rapid development of automobile technology in China, the driving speed of vehicles is getting faster and faster. If the quality of car wheels is uneven, in this high-speed driving process, it will not only affect the ride comfort, but also increase the abnormal wear of car tires and suspension systems, increase the difficulty of car control in the driving process, leading to unsafe driving. In order to avoid this situation, the wheels must pass the dynamic balance test of the special equipment - wheel dynamic balancing machine before installation, and appropriate counterweights shall be added at the places where the wheel mass is too small to keep the dynamic balance of the wheels under high-speed rotation. This counterweight is the wheel wheel weight.
Main functions:
As the driving mode of a car is generally front wheel, the front wheel load is greater than the rear wheel load, and after a certain mileage of the car, the fatigue and wear degree of tires in different parts will be different, so it is recommended that you carry out tire rotation timely according to the mileage or road conditions; Due to the complex road conditions, any situation on the road may have an impact on the tires and rims, such as collision with the road platform, high-speed passing through the potholed road, etc., which may easily lead to deformation of the rims. Therefore, it is recommended that you do dynamic balancing of the tires while transposing.
