Other terms you need to understand include:
•
Wheel. A circular metal piece that attaches to an axle and rotates.
•
Tire. A circular rubber piece that surrounds and attaches to a Wheel; more specifically, to the Rim,
which is the part of the Wheel that touches the Tire. Most Tires are pneumatically inflated (filled with
a gas, such as air, hydrogen, helium, or nitrogen) and made out of rubber (synthetic or natural).
•
Rim. The part of a Wheel that directly attaches to a Tire; almost always the outer portion of the
Wheel. Because modern Wheels are frequently created from a single piece of metal, "Wheel" and
"Rim" are sometimes used interchangeably.
•
Hub. The part of a Wheel that is not the Rim; the central portion of the Wheel.
•
Clip-On Weights. Metal weights that are held in place on the Wheel by clipping them to the
Inner or Outer Edge.
•
Adhesive Weights. Weights that are flat and held in place on the Wheel with adhesive.
•
Placement Indicators. Light up when the best weight location is reached.
•
Balancing Modes. The Balancer supports one Dynamic Balancing mode, two Static Balancing
modes, one Aluminum Alloy Balancing mode, and one Hidden Balancing mode.
•
Static Balancing. Balancing a Wheel as a whole; that is, on a single plane only. This is an older
method of balancing and is generally not as effective as Dynamic Balancing. Static Balancing is
required for motorcycle Wheels and older Wheels that are 4 inches wide or less.
•
Dynamic Balancing. Balancing a steel Wheel where each of the two planes are analyzed
separately. If there is an imbalance, the two planes are brought back into balance separately.
•
Aluminum Alloy Balancing. Balancing Wheels made of aluminum alloy. With ALU Mode,
Adhesive Weights (which are less visible than Clip-On Weights) are placed on the Inner Plane and
the Center Plane of the Wheel.
•
HID (Hidden) Balancing. Balancing a Wheel where the Adhesive Weights are placed on the
Inner Plane and the Center Plane of the Wheel, but behind selected spokes so they are hidden, as
much as possible.
•
Optimize Function. When a Wheel has significant imbalance (30 grams / 1 ounce or more), you
can use the optional Optimize Function to lessen the imbalance.
