Wheel balancing machine with a tire removing device

摘要

A wheel balancing machine having a tire removing device includes a rotation shaft upon which a wheel is mounted and elements for fixing the wheel to the rotation shaft. The device further includes a plate fixed rigidly to the tire removing device, and a tubular element connected to the plate which rotatably accommodates the rotation shaft. The wheel balancing device further includes a plurality of sensors fixed to the plate. The sensors are connected to the tubular element and adapted to measure the forces that constrain the tubular element when the rotation shaft and the wheel are turning and provide a measurement of the forces generated by the dynamic imbalance of the wheel. The plate includes a plurality of slots. The tire removing device includes arms with ends that engage in the plurality of slots to rigidly fix the wheel balancing device to the tire removing device.
