1. A method for applying a sealing agent to an inner surface of a pneumatic tire;
the method comprising:
rotating, via a support device, the pneumatic tire about an axis of rotation;
applying a layer of sealing agent to the inner surface of the pneumatic tire via a dispensing head arranged within the pneumatic tire;
pressing, via a pressure roller, the layer of just applied sealing agent against the inner surface of the pneumatic tire;
pushing the pressure roller against the layer of just applied layer of sealing agent via an actuator which generates a force having a desired value;
determining, via a force sensor, a measured value of the force generated by the actuator; and
cyclically varying the force generated by the actuator as a function of the measured value of the force.
