Storage Systems Make Wheel Balancing Fast, Accurate

Accurate center mounting, a requirement for precise wheel balancing, is only possible when using the correct size collet, cone or flange plate. Shops that don’t keep these accessories organized at best waste time and at worst compromise accuracy by failing to properly mount the wheel.

Hunter’s new trolley for direct-fit collets, flange plates, spacers and cones provides organized storage and mobility. It also provides a color-coding system that ensures that each
accessory is stored properly and easily located when needed.

The Collet Storage Rack Kit and Pin Storage Rack, options for Hunter wheel balancer models, provide organization and quick access by placing accessory storage conveniently on the balancer body.

 

The trolley provides organized storage and mobility of direct-fit collets, flange plates, spacers and cones for all Hunter wheel balancers.


 

The optional Collet Storage Rack Kit (shown here with the optional Pin Storage Rack) fits Hunter GSP9712, GSP9612 and DSP9600 wheel balancers.
 

 

Hunter Supports Automotive Engineers of Tomorrow

Washington University engineering students Ryan Hyslop, Jake Sparks, Joe Nelson and Eric Jensen measure alignment and frame angles of their Formula SAE car at Hunter’s Research & Training Center in St. Louis.

 

Members of St. Louis’ Washington University Formula SAE racing team recently borrowed an alignment bay at Hunter’s Research & Training Center to fine-tune their car for an upcoming competition that will pit them against 120 other teams from colleges and universities throughout the world.

Formula SAE, developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers in conjunction with schools and industry sponsors, enables students to learn by designing, fabricating and competing with sophisticated formula-style racing cars they build from scratch each year. Hunter’s engineering staff boasts several Formula SAE alumni.
