BALANCING CYCLE
Sequence of operations performed by the user and the machine, starting from the
beginning of the wheel spin, to the time that the wheel is braked to a standstill
after the unbalancing signals have been acquired and the relative values
calculated.
CALIBRATION
See SELF-CALIBRATION
CENTRING
Procedure for positioning the wheel on the spin shaft with the aim of ensuring that
the rotation axis of the wheel is aligned with the centre of the shaft.
CONE
Conical components with centre hole which, when inserted on the spin shaft,
serves to centre wheels with centre holes whose diameter is between maximum
and minimum values.
DYNAMIC BALANCING
Operation in which imbalance is corrected by the application of two weights, one
on each side of the wheel.
FLANGE (Balancing machine)
Disk that mates with the disk of the wheel mounted on the balancing machine. The
flange also serves to keep the wheel perfectly perpendicular to its axis of rotation.
FLANGE (centring accessory)
