Solves vibration
problems balancing can't fix.

The GSP9700
Vibration Control System extends far beyond the
traditional functions of a wheel balancer. It not only solves wheel
balance problems, but also "road tests" the tire/wheel assembly to
eliminate virtually every variable causing vibration in relation to
the tire and rim. |

Step 1: Measure
Tire/Wheel Uniformity
The GSP9700
Vibration Control System utilizes Hunter's exclusive
Road Force Measurement™ System that applies up to 1400 pounds (635 kg)
against the tire assembly to detect non-balance, radial force-related
vibration. |

Lack of tire uniformity
is a common and often hidden cause of wheel vibration. As a tire
rolls, it flexes as if it were made of springs. Vibration results when
tire stiffness is not uniform.

Step 2: Measure Rim
Runout |
 |
|
|
|
The GSP9700 Vibration Control System measures
lateral and radial rim Runout without removing the tire from the rim
and quickly indicates if runout is tire related. Runout can also be
measured at the actual bead seat on a bare rim. |

Step 3: ForceMatch
and Balance
Hunter's patented ForceMatching™ feature cancels the
high point of tire radial force variation with the low spot on the
rim. This helps eliminate vibration by minimizing the effects of
radial force variation and rim runout.

..or, directly at the bead seat on a bare rim.
Matching the stiff or high spot on the tire with the low spot on
the rim cancels vibration caused by radial force variation and
provides the smoothest ride. |

Once the repair is completed, the technician can continue with a
precision wheel balance by choosing one of four balancing methods.
