The Hunter GSP9600HD wheel balancer uses loaded roller contact to measure runout (eccentricity) of a tire and rim assembly and eliminate wheel-related vibration.
The fastest and most reliable method to measure runout is with a loaded roller system, which provides contact across the footprint of a tire’s surface to detect if a tire and wheel assembly are out of round.
The GSP9600HD computes the first-harmonic eccentricity, providing a more accurate prediction of how the wheel will roll. Non-contact devices only sample a small area of the tire surface, which can produce inconsistent results. Dial indicators measure only total indicated runout (TIR) not the first harmonic. |
