Abstract
A fixture for locking motorcycle wheels onto the shaft of balancing machines having a spindle coaxial to the shaft for supporting the wheel to be balanced, and members for making the shaft and the wheel rotationally rigid. The fixture includes a diametrical entrainment arm to be fixed to the end of the balancing shaft, and wheel clamping members provided by a body pivoted in the manner of a rocker element to each of the ends of the entrainment arm. The body having clamping members at one end, and at its opposite end a counter-weight is arranged such that, under the action of centrifugal force, the body increases its clamping action on the wheel.
