short cone balancer with 1.125 inch ID for tire shops and wheel balancing

Short Cone Balancer for Precise Wheel Service

The Short Cone Balancer is a must-have for shops that perform frequent wheel balancing. Designed specifically for use with COATS and compatible machines, this cone features a 1.125-inch inner diameter and covers a diameter range from 2.650 to 3.025 inches, ideal for light truck and passenger car wheels. If you're dealing with balance issues on tapered hubs or constantly adjusting ill-fitting cones, this size solves that frustration with a snug, reliable fit that improves balancing accuracy from the start.

Short cone balancers like this one are the go-to when working on wheels that don't seat properly with larger universal cones. Instead of risking vibration complaints or call-backs, this compact cone locks in tight, centers cleanly, and maintains accuracy during the spin cycle.

What Makes It Different?

Unlike generic balancer cones that can be too loose or overly broad in range, this COATS short cone is engineered to handle narrow center bores with precision. The 1.125" bore size fits directly over standard balancer shafts without the slop found in worn universal cones. Its high-grade steel construction adds weight and durability, helping the cone stay true over time even with daily shop use.

Why this cone outperforms generic options:

  • More secure seating on small center bores
  • Reduces rebalancing issues from cone misalignment
  • Built for frequent use in high-volume service bays

How It Performs on the Job

In real-world use, this short cone balancer makes mounting quicker and more precise. Techs will notice fewer balance errors from cone slippage or miscentering. It's especially helpful when working with alloy wheels or shallow hubs that struggle with wide cone ranges. The snug fit means less fussing during setup and fewer returns due to balance complaints.

Ideal For:

  • Shops servicing compact cars, sedans, and light trucks
  • Techs who need consistent centering for narrow hub bores
  • Wheel balancing on COATS balancers and compatible models
