Abstract

The position and magnitude of an unbalance correction in specified correction planes is determined for the purpose of reducing a determined unbalance in a body. Such correction planes may comprise the inner and outer surfaces of a wheel. Incremental correction is provided with respect to magnitude and continuous correction is provided with respect to the position in order to achieve minimalization of the residual static unbalance with only one correction weight per correction plane. The existing unbalance in the correction planes according to magnitude and position is determined, and the influence of various corrections upon the static and the dynamic residual unbalance that can be accomplished with one correction weight per correction plane are also determined. Corrections are provided in the correction planes for balancing that produce the minimally possible static residual unbalance and which fall within predetermined limits in each correction plane.
