  • Dürr's steering wheel balancer x-3Dbalancer

Precise and reliable - Always on course with steering wheel balancers from Dürr

A horizontal steering wheel position for straight-ahead driving requires precise measurement and consideration of the steering wheel angle during wheel alignment of the vehicle. This is done with the help of Dürr steering wheel balancers.

Our steering wheel balancer product generation offers innovative in-house developments:

  • x-3Dbalancer, the optical steering wheel balancer for precise and reliable measurement of the steering wheel position for automated test stands or automated vehicles (without operator guidance)
  • Smart Ergo Level, the ergonomic steering wheel balancer for measuring steering wheel angle and inclination
  • x-tronic balancer, the steering wheel balancer with extended functions

x-3Dbalancer, a new dimension in measuring the steering wheel angle

x-3Dbalancer combines the accuracy of a mechanical steering wheel balancer with the advantages of a non-contact and force-free measurement. The measurement of the steering wheel angle during the chassis measurement and adjustment is carried out using a 3D camera and software specially developed for this application. 

The system is largely independent of the type and geometry of the steering wheel. Using a collaborative robot, the 3D sensor is positioned in the ideal measurement position at the opened side window of the vehicle. Separate systems are required for left- and right-hand drive vehicles.

  • Non-contact, automated 3D measurement without operator guidance
  • Approaching the ideal measuring position in relation to the geometry/height of the body
    and the position of the steering wheel
  • Highest flexibility in terms of vehicle variance
  • No need to handle a separate device
  • High variability with regard to the shape and geometry of the steering wheel

Smart Ergo Level, perfect measurement - maximum ergonomics

The Smart Ergo Level is a mobile measurement device for measuring the angle and inclination of the steering wheel on vehicles at the End of Line. 

The device also evaluates the measurement results and displays the same using LEDs and an acoustic signal.

  • Display and evaluability of the steering wheel inclination to control the adjustment process
  • Solid operation on the steering wheel due to very low weight of 1.35 kg and favorable center of gravity
  • Dürr's own development - customer-specific adaptations are very easy to verify
  • Ergonomically shaped and operable with one hand
  • Easy access through full integration into the PC application software x-line

x-tronic balancer, the steering wheel balancer with extended functions

The x-tronic balancer is a combined system to measure the steering angle of vehicles (“steering wheel balancer”) and communicates with the vehicle control units (ECUs). 

With six function keys the balancer DI offers the additional possibility of user interaction.

  • Measuring the steering wheel angle of vehicles during adjustment in the wheel aligner
  • The actual steering wheel angle are measured and transmitted to the test stand computer
  • The results are transmitted wireless or via cable
  • The correct alignment of the steering wheel for adjustment is signaled via a display and LEDs
  • Additional functions (e.g., control unit communication) are possible
