Description
- This wheel balancer from Ranger has been crafted specially for high-volume commercial tire dealers and truck fleets. Typically, you’ll find that there are some balancers which will simply have a larger mounting cone, but the RB24T is a truck balancer with real fast startup and braking speeds.
Essential Accessories
display with vibrant visual cues and keypad to improve efficiency and proper balancing techniques for swift floor-to-floor times.
Perfectly balanced vibration: free counter-weighted flywheel belt drive offers peak performance and dependability under all load conditions. The serpentine belt features a polyester-aramid fiber composite core which will resist degradation of functional performance under extreme operating conditions.
Three-phase, 380V drive-motor for efficient starting under heavy loads. Built-in digital solid-state phase converter provides the required power regardless of single or three phase power supply.
Multi‐directional quartz piezoelectric force sensors
This wheel balancer utilizes extremely precise dual-component piezoelectric quartz load sensors combined with a single digital rotation encoder which together can measure the longitudinal, transversal, and shear effects for multi-directional force unbalance detection. Since the sensors are comprised of fine quartz, you’ll receive extremely high frequency detection in all measurable directions.
Automatic weight optimization
The RB24T will automatically calculate the minimum weight needed for an optimal balance, which is critical for massive truck wheels. You’ll ultimately use less weight since your readings will be more accurate, thus saving you time.
User-friendly operation
This balancer is equipped with a touch-pad display panel which simplifies speed entry of wheel data. It also helps guide technicians through balancing procedures. Operator function keys are labeled with simple, easy-to-read icons that will identify and command all balancing functions. The bright LED weight placement indicators will show weight positions as the wheel is gently rolled to exact top-dead-center. A pneumatic braking system will automatically engage and secure the wheel firmly in place as soon as the weight placement indicators light up.
Three-phase drive motor
While single phase motors are versatile, they still have their limitations, especially in heavy start-up conditions. Single phase motors need special starting arrangements, such as capacitors, additional windings, and switches, in order to get them turning under load. The RB24T sports a robust 280V three-phase drive motor which allows it to overcome these limitations and get the heavy wheels spinning again. A built-in digital solid-state phase converter produces three-phase output voltage, regardless of single or three-phase power supply.
