TIRE DYNAMIC IMBALANCE SCREENING SYSTEM ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The magnitude of a variable property of a tire, such as the dynamic imbalance, may be predicted by measuring lateral runout at positions close to the end of the tread pattern on both sides of the tire and determining the lateral asymmetry of the tire based on the lateral runout values. The output voltage B from a linear displacement runout transducer 25 is subtracted from the output voltage A of a linear displacement runout trans- ducer 26. This signal, which has an amplitude at any point of A-B, is transmitted through a filter 27 which eliminates second harmonic and higher frequencies. The filtered A-B signal is transmitted to a peak-to-peak detector 28 which produces an output voltage A-B,P/P corresponding to the maximum peak-to-peak value of the first harmonic (i.e., fundamental) component of the A-B filtered signal. This peak-to-peak value is displayed on a digital meter 32 and simultaneously compared to a manually selected high limit by comparator circuit 44. A red light 35 is lighted when comparator circuit 44 indicates that the upper limit of acceptable dynamic imbalance has been exceeded.
