Balancing Equipment &/or Services

About the Balancing Equipment &/or Services heading in Yellow™

You will find information on balancing equipment and services under this heading in Yellow™. Tyre Balancing is a very important aspect of automobile efficiency and safety. A car is ‘balanced’ when the mass within automobile tyre configuration is evenly balanced. The balance of a car affects you in two ways. Firstly, a car that is not balanced will have a lower fuel economy than a car that is balanced. Secondly, unbalanced tyres create a lot of friction and subsequently, heat. This may lead to tyre bursts at high speeds, which entails a significant amount of danger to the passengers in the car. Tyre balancing is usually performed using one of two balancing methods: static balancing or dynamic balancing. Balancing equipment coupled with knowledgeable balance technicians will allow you to extend the life of your vehicle and ensure that it is as safe as possible. Yellow™ contains a comprehensive list of balancing equipment and services across Australia.

Static balance equipment usually entails a machine where the tyre is placed in its vertical axis on a non-rotating spindle tool. The spot where the tyre mass is the highest is pulled downwards by gravitational force. The amount that the tyre moves downwards reflects how much imbalance is present. Balancing technicians then use equipment such as laser sensors and bubble balancers to determine the exact amount of imbalance. After rectifying the problem, the process of checking the balance is repeated again.

In dynamic balancing, the tyre is usually attached to a wheel and rotated at very high speeds. In this process, laser sensors are used in order to determine the exact amount of imbalance. The process of dynamic balancing is more comprehensive than static balancing. This option is preferable when balancing tyres in older cars or automobiles with a significant accident history.  Tyre outlets usually use a machine known as a spin-balancer to check balance. Regular balancing check-ups will save you a lot of time and money, as you will be able to extract a long life from your tyres as well as your car.
