Haweka Wheel Balancing Adapters

Balancing Begins with Centering

Home » Systems and Products » Wheel Balancing Adapters

Balancing begins with centering wheels properly. To center wheels, the vehicle’s hub and lug mounts must be replicated on the balancer. Static balance issues are resolved in the wheel hub while dynamic balance issues are resolved on the lug side of the wheel. The video above and the three cutaway wheel images below illustrate precision, tolerance free hub and lug centering and precision mounting on the balancer.

Precision Centering Technology

Hub Centering Solutions

Good – Standard Cones

If used correctly as a back cone, cones provide adequate hub centering on the balancer due to the high taper on cones for use on multiple applications.

Better – Precision Collets

Dual-sided, low-taper collets provide precision hub centering on the balancer for accurate balancing results.

Best – Duo Expert Collets

Duo expert collets provide high precision, 100% tolerance-free hub centering on the balancer by replicating the wheel hub exactly for the best balancing results.

Lug Centering Solutions

Good – Pressure Cups

Pressure cups provide adequate lug centering on the balancer.

North American Flange Plate Kit
HW200 279 409

Better – Flange Plates

Flange plates provide precision lug centering on the balancer for accurate balancing results.

5 Lug Quick Plate
HW259 400 013
Quick Plate kit
HW210 400 018

Best – Quick Plates

Quick plates provide speed and precision lug centering on the balancer for accurate balancing results.

Medium Duty

Good – Light Truck Cone Kit

The LTK provides adequate front coned balancing for medium duty applications.

Best – ProMax MD

The ProMax kits provide extreme precision hub and lug centering results on the balancer for all 250, 350, 450, 2500, 3500, 4500, and dually wheel applications. The hub-centering discs are replicas of the vehicle wheel hub mount.

Heavy Duty

ProMax HD Series Kits

Haweka’s ProMax HD series provides maximum hub and lug centering results on the balancer by replicating the wheel mount exactly. It is extremely important to use the dual plane approach when balancing HD wheels, as balancing beads address static imbalance while ProMax adapters address static and dynamic imbalance. The dual plane approach provides a total balance and acts as a safety measure in wheel-off prevention.
