StraightTrak® Lateral Force Measurement

SmartWeight® Balancing Technology

Solve Tire Pull Problems With the Hunter GSP9700 That Alignment Service Can’t Fix

Tire-related pulls are caused by lateral forces in the tires. Lateral force is the amount of left or right pull force created as the tire rolls along the road. This condition may cause a vehicle to steer away from straight-ahead. These forces are primarily created by conicity and cannot be detected during standard balancing or alignment service.

Deliver the Ultimate in Customer Satisfaction

The StraightTrak® LFM feature measures lateral tire force during the GSP9700’s Road Force Measurement® test. The GSP9700 then applies this lateral force information to the set of tires, providing the technician with optimal placement choices about the vehicle.

By partnering a StraightTrak LFM equipped GSP9700 with a Hunter wheel alignment system, the technician will finally be able to deliver the ultimate in customer satisfaction by achieving the four main wheel service criteria customers expect in vehicle ride quality:

Hunter Engineering’s patented SmartWeight® balancing technology is a revolutionary wheel balancing method that minimizes correction weight usage and maximizes productivity, saving money on both material and labor costs. SmartWeight balancing technology can reduce wheel weight costs 30% to 40%, reduce the time it takes to balance most wheels, and improve vehicle ride quality.

This new method computes correction weights by independently evaluating static (shake) and couple (shimmy) forces that cause dynamic vibration. Unlike traditional balancing, which displays balance conditions based on correction weight values alone, SmartWeight balancing uses the actual static and couple forces to directly address the source of vibration, resulting in the best possible balance.

SmartWeight balancing software displays and stores wheel weight savings for each balance cycle and tracks wheel weight savings over time.

This example shows that for 2,438 wheels SmartWeight technology saved a total of 1,939.5 oz. (32%) of weight. Labor time was also reduced, because 53% of the wheels were dynamically balanced with only one weight required.

Save Labor Time on More Than 30% of Balances!

SmartWeight technology typically reduces “floor-to-floor” cycle time on more than 30% of wheels balanced by using a single wheel weight to achieve the best possible static and couple balance.
