A balancing weight for balancing a wheel of a vehicle has a body of non-ferromagnetic material providing a major portion of the balancing weight's mass and a ferromagnetic inlay for holding the balancing weight by magnetic force. The ferromagnetic inlay provides a minor portion of the balancing weight's mass. A weight applicator has a magnet for interacting with the ferromagnetic inlay of the balancing weight and holding the balancing weight.

Balancing weights for cars have an adhesive tape with at least a first tape layer and a second tape layer, for attaching the balancing weights to a rim. The first tape layer is held in close proximity to a rim by a first adhesive layer. The second tape layer is held in close proximity to the balancing weights by a second adhesive layer. The first tape layer is stiffer and less flexible than the second tape layer, the second tape layer is softer and more flexible than the first tape layer. This allows easy removal of the balancing weights from the rim by pushing a wedge shaped tool between the first tape layer and the rim.

A wheel balancing weight has a mass body with a groove in a first face. The groove has a groove surface recessed into the first surface and has two groove walls opposite one another across the groove. An attachment clip has a clip portion for attaching the wheel balancing weight to a vehicle wheel and has an attachment portion with first and second side edges opposite one another across the attachment portion. First and second protruding elements are provided on the first and second side edges, respectively. The attachment portion is seated in the groove and has a free bottom edge extending between the first and second side edges. The first protruding element is positioned on the first side edge at a first distance from the bottom edge and the second protruding element is positioned on the second side edge at a second distance different from the first distance. Material of the mass body adjacent the two groove walls is deformed to retain the attachment portion in the groove.

A vibration and noise damper for wheels of rail vehicles, to which wheels it is fastened with screws, pins, or rivets, which comprises of at least two segments formed by a supporting part (2) for gripping to the wheel (1), a pushing part (3) and a damping part (4), where the pushing part (3) is connected by means of bolts (9) with the supporting part (2) and is formed either by a single metal or composite element, or it is directly integral part of the damping part (4) and where the damping part (4) is formed in the direction away from the wheel (1) rim of a strain pliable metal or composite layer (4a), of a viscoelastic layer (4b), and possibly of other metal or composite layer (4c), wherein in compressed state the damping part (4) is placed between the pushing part (3) and the wheel (1) rim. Preferably, the supporting part (2) is formed of metal or composite material. Also preferable is the embodiment when thermally insulating pads (5) are arranged between the supporting part (2) and the wheel (1) and/or between the fastening material for attaching the supporting part (2) to the wheel (1) and the wheel (1). The viscoelastic layer (4b) in the damping part (4) can comprise glass fibers and/or ceramic fibers and can be provided with a set of holes (4d) and/or radial cuts (4e) of various shape, wherein their number, size and arrangement are different for individual designs of the dampers in relevance to their shape.

There is a balancing assembly for wheels having a support member extending in a direction having a first longitudinal axis and a height extending along a first radial axis. The support member has a first surface configured to be attached to a surface area of a rim of a wheel, a second surface, an intermediate portion extending in a direction parallel to the radial axis extending from the first surface to the second surface, and a first locking member. The assembly further has a load member body extending in a direction having a second longitudinal axis. The load member has a primary surface, a first connecting member positioned on a first side of the second longitudinal axis, and a second connecting member positioned on a second side of the second longitudinal axis. The first connecting member and the second connecting member are configured to engage with an intermediate portion of the support member securing the load member in a radial direction. The load member has a second locking member configured to engage with the first locking member to secure the load member relative to the support member in a longitudinal direction.
