Throughout this site we use many technical terms, and given the breadth of readership our site enjoys, sometimes we are remiss and incorrectly assume everyone knows what we are referring to. For those that do not, here are some explanations of the technical terms use. |
Kinetic Balancing
The process of balancing a road wheel while it is rotating at high speeds, when even if in static balance the wheel may vibrate and tend to shimmy due to unbalanced couples set up by centrifugal force on components of mass in different rotational planes, these reversing every half turn. See also Dynamic balance. |
