A wheel balancer for mounting a wheel/tire assembly has sensors (19, 21) for sensing imbalance forces, a spindle encoder (15) and a graphic signal processing chip (23). The signal processing chip also controls a CRT display (25) and controls a D.C. motor through motor control circuitry (27) and tracks spindle position from encoder (15). The balancer also includes manual inputs (29). The balancer is programmed to determine wheel imbalance from the sensors and the motor speed can be controlled to take imbalance measurements at different speeds, depending upon the conditions or desires of the operator. The use of a dc motor also facilitates dynamic braking.
