Static wheel balancer

Abstract

The invention relates to a static wheel balancer (SWB); comprising a wheel carrier (WC); wherein the wheel carrier includes at least two wheel support elements (WSE); wherein the wheel support elements (WSE) supports and establish a reference for a selected edge of a wheel when the wheel is positioned in the wheel carrier, wherein the wheel support elements (WSE) defines a wheel positioning plane (WPP); and the static wheel balancer further comprising a weight measuring arrangement (WMA) including at least one load cell (EC); wherein a weight measuring point (WMP) of the load cell (EC) is arranged to measure a partial weight of the wheel (WH) at a selected wheel edge (WE) at a given angular orientation (AO) of the wheel (WH); and wherein the weight measuring point (WMP) is arranged at a predetermined distance (PD) to at least one of the at least two-wheel support elements (WSE); and wherein the weight measuring point (WMP) forms part of one of the at least two wheel support elements (WSE); and the static wheel balancer further including a display (DP) arranged to display a measure of imbalance obtained based on partial measured weight at the weight measuring point (WMP).
