What's the use of that small iron piece on the car wheel?
12 Nov,2021

The small iron block on the wheel hub of a car is a tire balance weight. The tire balance weight is a counterweight component installed on the wheel of the vehicle, and its function is to keep the wheel in dynamic balance under high-speed rotation. Under static and low-speed rotation, the uneven quality will seriously affect the stability of the object's rotation. The higher the speed, the greater the vibration.
In order to eliminate this phenomenon, it is necessary to add a counterweight, that is, to add a small lead block to correct the tire imbalance, which is called dynamic balance by many car owners. In the past, the lead blocks of the tires on the car were installed outside the wheel hub, with a lot of counterweight, which was very unsightly.
The small steel block on the wheel hub is the rim counterweight, which is the balance weight component installed on the wheel of the car. The function of the counterweight is to maintain the dynamic balance of the rotor under high-speed operation.
The use of tire balance weights can improve the driving stability of the vehicle and avoid tire wear and vehicle jitter caused by imbalance. When the wheels are unbalanced, the vehicle will shake, which not only affects the driving experience, but also has an adverse effect on the tires, and even causes increased tire wear. Therefore, it is very important to check and adjust the tire balance weight in time.
