摘要： An apparatus for applying weight material onto a wheel may include a conveyor assembly, upper and lower severing-head assemblies, and upper and lower control arms. The severing-head assemblies may be mounted above and below the conveyor assembly and may include a housing, a severing device and a dispensing mechanism. The dispensing mechanism may position the weight material from a source relative to the severing device. The severing device may separate a predetermined amount of weight material from a source. The control arms may be movably mounted above and below the conveyor assembly and have weight-application tools configured to transfer the predetermined amounts of weight material from the severing-head assemblies to locations on the wheel.

摘要： A method and apparatus for dynamically balancing a tire/wheel assembly of a motor vehicle is provided. The wheel of the tire/wheel assembly has raceways along the circumference of the wheel containing balancing media that provide dynamic rotational harmonic center of moment compensation for manufacturing imperfections. Balancing media may be solid bearings, fluid, or a combination thereof, and the balancing media moves along the raceways to certain areas of the wheel to compensate for the mass imbalances on the correspondingly opposing side of the wheel. The raceways have any combination of mathematically-described geometric cross-sectional area shapes, and the balancing media may be shaped accordingly. In another embodiment, the raceways may be noncontiguous and may have different orientations throughout the wheel. The present invention also provides sensors for real-time management of the balancing media to inform the driver of sudden changes in the state of the tire/wheel assembly.

摘要： An apparatus for balancing a wheel includes a tool and an arm control module. The tool is mechanically coupled to an arm and includes a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a face surface that forms an arc between the leading and trailing edges. The arm control module actuates the arm to position the leading edge of the tool a predetermined distance from an edge of a deck of a cutting apparatus to receive a piece of non-segmented wheel weight material. A blade of a cutting apparatus passes between the edge of the deck and the leading edge of the tool to cut the piece from the non-segmented wheel weight material.

摘要： A method for balancing a vehicle wheel includes mounting a wheel to be balanced on a rotating shaft of a machine computerized for measuring imbalances, and selecting an optimum commercial balancing weight which, when positioned on a correction plane, minimizes residual imbalance on reference planes of the wheel where the balancing tolerance is considered. One compares the residual imbalance value at the reference planes with the prescribed balancing tolerance after subtracting a vector of the static imbalance generated by the optimum balancing weight. An indicator device is activated to indicate on the wheel the optimum axial position of a correction plane for a balancing weight where the residual imbalance at the reference planes is within tolerance.

摘要： In a method for cleaning a fastening surface (2) for a balancing element on an inner face (3) of a rim (4) of a vehicle wheel (5), the vehicle wheel (5) is positioned in a holding apparatus (13) such that a cleaning apparatus (9) can be moved, by means of a handling apparatus (6), to the fastening surface (2) on the inner face of the rim (4) of the positioned vehicle wheel (5). The cleaning apparatus (9) is arranged at a free end of the handling apparatus (6). The cleaning apparatus (9) is then moved by the handling apparatus (6) to a wetting device (15) filled with a cleaning agent (11) and is wetted with cleaning agent (11) in the wetting device (15). The cleaning apparatus (9) wetted with cleaning agent (11) is then moved by the handling apparatus (6) into the wheel rim (4), where it is moved such that the cleaning apparatus (9) cleans at least one fastening surface (2) on the inner face (3) of the wheel rim (4).

摘要： A self-balancing pneumatic tire is provided having a built-in balancing gel system. In one embodiment, the tire, before cure, includes a green pneumatic tire assembly having an uncured tread defining an outermost layer; a first barrier layer; a second barrier layer situated adjacent the first barrier layer and intermediate the first barrier layer and the tread; and first and second gel precursors. The gel precursors are non-flowable prior to cure but flowable after cure. The gel precursors are respectively contained within spaced-apart first and second circumferential regions defined by confronting, non-contacting surfaces of the first barrier layer and the second barrier layer, each circumferential region further situated proximate opposing sidewalls of the tire and having a width of about 5 percent to about 25 percent of a final tread width obtained upon curing of the uncured tire assembly. In one example, the first and/or second barrier layers can be discontinuous.
