  • Method for determining a component-specific wobble component within a multi-part assembly of parts, and master part for carrying out the method
    Patent number: 6499347
    Abstract: In the case of vehicle wheels the single-phase wobble may not exceed a certain maximum value if the vehicle is to satisfy certain demands of comfort. However, in this case it is of little use to measure the wobble of the vehicle brake disc and that of the vehicle hub carrying the said brake disc individually, because this is unable to give any statement concerning the wobble of the entire constructional unit. With the aid of the method according to the invention, the wobble component, due to a wheel hub, of the constructional unit mentioned can be ascertained exactly if the precise data of the very precisely produced master brake disc, which is used in the measurement instead of the vehicle brake disc, is known. The method can only be carried out successfully using the master brake disc mentioned.
