5. ForceMatching Measurement® Procedures
5.1. Load Roller Operation
The load roller runs parallel to the tire and applies a perpendicular load on the assembly to take information required for the
HD Elite Measurement® system. The amount of force placed on the tire is dependent upon the tire’s diameter and stiffness.
The load roller will not overload the tire.
WARNING
Do not use the load roller on assemblies with studded tires.
NOTICE
It is important that the air pressure of the tire is set to specications prior to using the HD Elite Measurement®
system. Incorrect tire pressure will aect the results. If the HD® Elite is equipped with the Ination Station
feature, the tire can be easily set to the specied air pressure.
The load roller can be enabled and disabled by touching the load roller on the screen.
When the load roller is enabled, the screen will display
the load roller with enabled settings.
When the load roller is disabled, a red “X” appears on the
load roller.
The load roller can also be enabled and disabled by touching the ForceMatch® button then touching the “Toggle Roller”
button.
5.2. Forcematching®
Forcematching® is a method of aligning the stiffest spot of the radial tire road force rst harmonic (once-per-revolution
component) with the average low point of the radial rim runout rst harmonic to decrease vibration in the wheel assembly.
This type of match mounting has been done with expensive equipment by the tire/wheel manufacturers and OEMs for years
to provide the smooth ride associated with a new vehicle. The HD Elite Balancer provides “Forcematching®” at a service
level.
