A tire/wheel assembly (4) assembling method, comprised of a balance weight determination step (S7), in which the weight and attachment position of a balance weight (3) to be attached to a wheel (1) are determined on the assumption that the minimum point of the RRO of the wheel (1) will be phase matched with the maximum point of the RFV of a tire (2) and based on the weight and position of the heavy point of the static unbalance of the wheel (1) and the weight and position of the light point of the static unbalance of the tire (2), a balance weight attachment step (S8), in which the balance weight (3) is attached to the wheel (1) based on the determined weight and attachment position, and an assembling step (S9), in which the wheel (1) and the tire (2) are assembled together upon phase matching the minimum point of the RRO of the wheel (1) with the maximum point of the RFV of the tire (2).
A tire/wheel assembly assembling method, which is a method of assembling a tire/wheel assembly with which a tire and a wheel are assembled together,
A tire/wheel assembly assembling line, which is an assembling line for assembling a tire/wheel assembly with which a tire and wheel are assembled together,
A wheel with which the balance has been adjusted in accordance to a tire, based on the three data of the unbalance amount −g of the light point of said tire, the maximum radial runout amount +δ of said tire, and the phase θ from said light point to the direction of said radial runout amount +δ, said wheel being characterized in that the phase from the heavy point of said wheel to the direction of the minimum point of the radial runout of said wheel is θ, the minimum radial runout amount of said wheel is −δ, and the unbalance amount of said heavy point is +g.
A method of manufacturing a wheel with which the balance has been adjusted in accordance to a tire, based on the three data of the unbalance amount −g of the light point of said tire, the maximum radial runout amount +δ of said tire, and the phase θ from said light point to the direction of said radial runout amount +δ, said wheel manufacturing method being characterized in that after measurement of the minimum point of the radial runout of the wheel, trimming of the wheel is performed so that the heavy point, with an unbalance amount of +g, will be positioned in the direction that is shifted by −θ in phase with respect to the measured minimum point of radial runout.
A method of manufacturing a wheel with which the balance has been adjusted in accordance to a tire, based on the three data of the unbalance amount −g of the light point of said tire, the maximum radial runout amount +δ of said tire, and the phase θ from said light point to the direction of said radial runout amount +δ, said wheel manufacturing method being characterized in that after cutting of the outer circumference of the wheel in a decentering manner such that the minimum radial runout amount of the wheel will be −δ, trimming of the wheel is performed so that the heavy point, with an unbalance of +g, will be positioned in the direction that is shifted by −θ in phase with respect to the minimum point of radial runout of said wheel.
A wheel, which is formed by joining a rim and a cup-like disk that is fitted to the inner diameter of said rim, said wheel being characterized in being adjusted in balance by the provision of trimmed shapes and/or augmented shapes on the fitting part of said cup-like disk.
A wheel, which is formed by joining a rim and a cup, like disk that is fitted to the inner diameter of said rim, said wheel being characterized in being adjusted in balance by the matching of the direction, as viewed from the center of said disk, of the air valve attachment hole provided in said rim with the direction of trimmed shapes provided at the fitting part of said disk or by making said direction of the air valve attachment hole be shifted by 180 degrees with respect to the direction of augmented shapes provided at the fitting part of said disk.
A wheel, which is formed by joining a rim and a cup-like disk that is fitted to the inner diameter of said rim, said wheel being characterized in being adjusted in balance by the making of the direction, as viewed from the center of said disk, of the air valve attachment hole provided in said rim be shifted by 180 degrees with respect to the direction of trimmed shapes provided at the fitting part of said disk or by making said direction of the air valve attachment hole matched with the direction of augmented shapes provided at the fitting part of said disk.
A wheel, characterized in having an arrangement provided with an annular air valve seat that is fitted and fixed inside an air valve attachment hole, which has been bored in the rim, and wherein an air valve is attached to said air valve seat.
A wheel, characterized in that augmented shapes or trimmed shapes, corresponding to a predetermined weight, are provided in a localized manner when the wheel is in the condition of the net-shape part in the manufacturing process and adjustment of the weight balance is performed by means of said augmented shape or trimmed shape.
A wheel, comprised of a circular disk, which can be fixed to the hub of the shaft of a vehicle, and a rim, which is fixed to the peripheral part of the disk and onto which a tire is assembled,
