Multi-Channel Extruding Technology in Lead-Free Wheel Balancer

Abstract:

If the weight of automobile wheel is not equally distributed, the automobile is not safe in high speed running. Hence, before the automobile wheel is instated, the dynamic balance of automobile wheel must be done, and the wheel balancer is added to the small weight position. In general, each wheel is added with two wheel balancers at least. Lead wheel balancers are used worldwide to balance vehicle wheels. But lead presents a health hazard, because lead is highly toxic, can contaminate drinking water, and can reduce intelligence in children. The steel wheel balancer is the perfect choice. However, the steel balancers are difficult to form and easy to rust. Based on upper limit analysis and numerical simulation, technology optimization and die design of steel balancer are studied to enlarge the production and to decrease the cost
