6.14.1 Runout
6.14.1.1 When and why TO USE MATCHING
ENGLISH
Use and Maintenance Manual Rev. 11-2010
The software associated with the eccentricity measurement is a powerful tool to determine the need to perform
the relative rotation between the wheel and the rim in
order to reduce the eccentricity to within acceptable limits. The criterion used is based on the fact that a rim with
acceptable tolerance, mounted with acceptable tyre, can
statistically generate an unacceptable total eccentricity
that can be improved by matching.
ER 100 is capable of automatically measuring the eccentricity of both the tyre and the rim from the inside.
The latter measurement generally corresponds to the rim
eccentricity in the tyre fitting area.
THE RIM CAN BE MEASURED MORE ACCURATELY USING THE SPECIFIC
PROGRAM WITHOUT THE TYRE.
Example 1
wheel
virtual wheel
wheel
rim
tyre
rotation axis
Tyre - 0.6 mm
Wheel + 0,3 mm
The eccentricity of the single elements is compensated.
The wheel is acceptable.
Example 3
wheel
virtual wheel
virtual wheel
rim
tyre
rotation axis
Rim + 0.8 mm
Tyre + 0.6 mm
Wheel + 1.3 mm
The wheel eccentricityis excessive because an acceptable
rim or tyre has randomly been positioned in an “unfor-
tunate” position”.
SOLUTION: turn the tyre on the rim by 180°
RESULT: wheel eccentricity 0.3 – 0.4 mm (in tolerance)
Rim + 0.8 mm
rim
tyre
rotation axis
Rim - 0 mm
Tyre + 1,2 mm
Wheel + 1.2 mm
The wheel eccentricity cannot be compensated by the rota-
tion because the rim is perfect!
SOLUTION: turn the tyre on the rim by 180°
RESULT: No improvement.

BPC (Best Possible Correction) Provides the best possible solution for reduction of vibrations noticeable in the
vehicle.
Many elements affect the vibration perceived in the vehicle due to wheel unbalances:
Residual static unbalance ▪
Residual dynamic (or torque) unbalance ▪
Wheel weight (the heavier the wheel, the less the unbalance will make it vibrate) ▪
Wheel diameter (on which the application radiuses of the counterweights depend) ▪
Comparison between conventional balancing and the BPC method
CONVENTIONAL BALANCING:
Given a set tolerance of 5g, a wheel is considered balanced also with a residual unbalance of 4.9g per plane in ▪
approximately the same angular position. This means that a static unbalance of 9.8 grams is tolerated, even
though the static unbalance is deemed the main cause of vibrations noticeable by the driver.
The balancing tolerance for all wheel types, not taking any unbalance of 10g into account, produces different ▪
vibrations on a 13” or a 22" wheel. The residual vibrations are inversely proportional to the wheel weight.
The angular position of the residual unbalances is not taken into account. ▪
BALANCING USING THE BPC METHOD:
With this method, the balancing tolerance value is reprocessed based on the wheel dimensions and the permissible ▪
residual static and torque unbalances, which are numerically different (greater torque unbalance than static
unbalance is permitted).
The tolerance no longer refers to the correction planes but is UNIQUE and indicates the residual vibration limit ▪
value permissible on the wheel.
An indicator on the screen provides information on the residual vibration obtained after balancing with respect ▪
to the maximum tolerable vibration.
Bymeans of complex mathematical calculations, it indicates how many and where correction weights should be ▪
added for the best possible reduction of the vibrations noticeable by the driver. This means that the customer
receives the best possible service.
ENGLISH
No alternative method can be more accurate, using moderate weights with steps of 5g.
ER100 also measures by HOW MUCH the “noticeable vibration” in the vehicle has been reduced with respect to the conventional
method, indicating the percentage reduction, i.e. by how much it has improved with respect to conventional machines.
Less vibration, more satisfi ed customers!

It is advisable to set this function for normal use of the machine, as it improves the

9. Maintenance
9.1 GENERAL
ENGLISH
Specialist staff must be authorised and especially trained
concerning the dangers that may arise during operation
and the correct methods for avoiding them.
They must always work with great care and pay full attention.
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS, MAKE SURE
CAUTION
THE MACHINE HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS POWER
SUPPLY. ALWA YS USE THE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
INDICATED IN THE INSTALLATION MANUAL.
9.1.1 Introductory notes
This machine has been designed so as not to require routine maintenance, apart from accurate periodic cleaning.
It is important to keep the machine perfectly clean in order to prevent dust or impurities from compromising the
operation of the balancer.
WARNING
THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEANING THE AREA WHERE THE
MACHINE IS INSTALLED MUST WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
IN ORDER TO WORK IN SAFETY AND ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT
OCCUPATIONAL HEATH AND SAFETY REGULATIONS.
As extraordinary maintenance must be performed by service
staff or, in any case, by specifically authorised and trained
people, is not dealt with in this manual.
If, exceptionally, the staff removes the guards to carry out
a particular specialist technical maintenance, inspection
or repair job, they are required to put them back after
work.
After work, staff must make sure that foreign objects, in
particular mechanical pieces, tools or devices used during the operative procedure that could cause damage or
malfunctions are not left inside the balancer.
For safety, before starting work, maintenance, inspection
and repair staff must disconnect all power sources and
take all the necessary preventive safety measures.
As well as operating frequencies, the operations described
below indicate the qualifications that staff must possess
in order to perform the operation.
9.1.3 Replacing fuses
Some protection fuses are located on the power board
(see wiring diagrams) accessible by dismantling the weight
shelf). If fuses require replacement, use ones with an
identical current intensity.
9.1.2 Safety rules
Performing specialist activities on the equipment, particularly if the guards need to be dismounted, exposes people
to serious danger due to the presence of potentially live
parts.
The rules shown below must be scrupulously followed.
People must always use the Personal Protective Equipment indicated in the Installation Manual. During activities, unauthorised people may not access the equipment
and WORK IN PROGRESS signs will be erected in the
department in such a way that they are visible from every
place of access.
