Apparatus and method for detecting rotational imbalance of vehicle roadwheels

摘要

An apparatus for detecting dynamic rotational imbalance of vehicle roadwheel assemblies includes a force measurement sensor for sensing a combined force exerted between the surface upon which the vehicle is traveling and the vehicle sprung mass and further includes a device for generating a combined force signal corresponding to the sensed combined force. The apparatus further includes processor responsive to the combined force signal for determining the dynamic rotational balance condition of the roadwheel assembly.
