ABSTRACT:
An electronic apparatus and a method for dynamically counter-balancing vehicle wheels with balance weights of a single, pre-selected mass. The apparatus is characterized by a device for determining the magnitude and the location on the inside and outside rim flanges of the subject wheel at which a weight of the determined magnitude could be placed to provide the moment required to achieve a counter-balanced condition, an arithmetic unit for operating upon said position and magnitude data to compute the positions on the inside and outside rim flanges at which one each of said balance weights should be placed to provide a resultant counter-balancing moment equal to that required to balance the wheel when using only a single weight of the determined magnitude on each rim flange, and a means for visually displaying the positions on the rim flanges at which such balance weights are to be affixed in order to balance the wheel. The method relates to the process to be implemented on the described or other suitable apparatus.
