Disclosed is a system and method for accurately balancing a wheel/tire assembly. The assembly is mounted onto a shaft of a dynamic wheel balancer to rotate therewith. The shaft and wheel/tire assembly are spun while the balancer senses and stores a first set of information (readings) indicating imbalance. Next, the wheel/tire assembly is released and reoriented at a different angle, for example 180 degrees, on the shaft of the balancer, followed by respinning the wheel/tire assembly while the balancer takes a second set of readings indicating imbalance under these changed conditions. The values of both sets of readings are stored and then compared to note the difference therebetween. The difference represents a measure of the aggregate actual and “apparent”imbalance. For example, if the reorientation is 180 degrees, then the difference will be twice the actual imbalance. If the reorientation is less than 180 degrees, then the difference will be proportionately less than twice the actual imbalance. Apparent imbalance may be cauased by (i) an unbalanced shaft, (ii) axial vibrations of the shaft caused by face plate run-out, (iii) bearing and belt noise under load, (iv) motor noise under load, etc. Any such difference is stored and later subtracted from future balancing readings in order to more accurately determine the correct amount of counterbalancing weight to be added to a wheel/tire assembly, so that the wheel will remain balanced after removal from the shaft.

In the method of calibrating a dynamic wheel balancing machine to cause the imbalance values displayed to be corrected for shaft imbalance, bearing noise under load, and face plate runout under load, motor noise under load, belt noise under load, whereby the values displayed correspond to the true imbalance of a wheel/tire assembly, the balancing machine having a shaft assembly for carrying a wheel/tire assembly on one end thereof to be balanced while thereon, comprising the steps of loading a wheel/tire assembly onto the shaft, spinning the shaft and assembly together to generate imbalance forces and detecting a first value of imbalance therefrom, rotating the wheel/tire assembly relative to the shaft, re-spinning the loaded shaft to detect a second value of imbalance, subtracting one of said first and second values from the other to detect the difference therebetween, the difference being representative of a measure of the imbalance caused by the presence of a load carried on the rotating shaft and any existing imbalance in said shaft assembly, applying a weight to said wheel/tire assembly, said weight being of known value and attached to said wheel/tire assembly at any position thereon, spinning the shaft and wheel/tire assembly carrying said known weight to detect the imbalance thereof, subtracting said second value of imbalance to determine a third value of imbalance representing imbalance caused by said known weight, dividing the value of said known weight by said third value to define a calibration factor, multiplying said difference between said first and second values of imbalance by said calibration factor to calibrate said difference, and subtracting the value of said calibrated difference from said calibrated imbalance to determine an imbalance value corrected for said shaft imbalance and said bearing noises under load.
