ABSTRACT:
In a method and apparatus for balancing a vehicle wheel, the wheel when fixed to a main shaft of a balancing machine, after the implementation of a wheel unbalance measuring run, is stopped at a given rotational angular position for a balancing operation to be carried out on the wheel, by braking of the rotary movement of the wheel. When the wheel is in the stopped condition, a braking moment derived from the unbalance measurement result and applied by a holding brake is caused to act on the wheel so that the wheel is prevented from rotating of its own accord by virtue of its static unbalance.
