GLOSSARY
Below is a brief description of some technical
terms used in this manual.
SELF-CALIBRATION
This procedure calculates suitable correction
coefficients starting from known operating
conditions. It improves the machine accuracy
by correcting to a certain extent the calculation
errors that may result from the alteration of
the machine's features over the course of time.

CENTRING
Procedure for positioning the wheel on the
wheel balancer shaft to ensure that the shaft
axis corresponds to the wheel rotation axis.
BALANCING CYCLE
Sequence of operations to be performed by the
user and the machine from the beginning of the
spin until the wheel is braked to a stop after
calculating the unbalance values.
CONE
Conical element with a central hole which,
when inserted on the wheel balancer shaft, is
used to centre the wheels having central holes
with a diameter ranging between maximum and
minimum values.
DYNAMIC BALANCING
Procedure for unbalance compensation by
applying two weights, one on each of the two
wheel sides.
STATIC BALANCING
Procedure for correcting only the static element
of the unbalance, by applying only one weight,
usually at the centre of the rim well. Accuracy
increases as the width of the wheel decreases.
FLANGE (plate - wheel balancer)
Circular crown-shaped disk against which the
disk of the wheel mounted on the wheel balancer
rests. Also used for keeping the wheel perfectly
perpendicular to its rotation axis.
FLANGE (adapter - centring accessory)
Device for supporting and centring the wheel.
Also used for keeping the wheel perfectly per-
pendicular to its rotation axis.
It is mounted on the wheel balancer shaft.
FSP
Fast Selection Program acronym
RING NUT
Wheel blocking device on the wheel balancer,
