The Advantages of a FASEP Motorcycle Wheel Balancer

Comparison between static motorcycle balancing stand and FASEP motorcycle wheel balancer:

  • Measurement of unbalance: detecting wheel unbalance on a balancing stand is always approximate and left to the operator’s judgement; therefore, it is subjective and based on personal experience.
    In contrast, a FASEP motorcycle wheel balancer accurately measures wheel unbalance using sensors, and calculates and displays the weights to be applied to the wheel.
  • Position accuracy: the speed of fall on a balancing stand is affected by roller friction, which can compromise the accuracy of balancing and, in particular, the position at which the weight is applied.
    However, on a FASEP wheel balancer, the position is always measured, making it independent of rotation speed and deceleration.
  • Static/dynamic balancing: a balancing stand can only correct static unbalance.
    In contrast, the FASEP motorcycle wheel balancer can detect and correct both static and dynamic unbalance.

Comparison between car wheel balancer with motorcycle adapters and FASEP motorcycle wheel balancer:

  • Centring accuracy: a car wheel balancer equipped with a motorcycle adapter uses a clamp system to hold the wheel in place. However, this method can result in inaccurate balancing due to possible wheel oscillations caused by imprecise centring.
    By contrast, a motorcycle wheel balancer has a fixed shaft system that simulates the wheel’s exact rolling conditions and allows for perfect centring on the axle.
