18″ Automatic Wheel Balancer
This high-quality, 18-inch automatic wheel balancer is an essential tool for every professional motorsport and service environment where precise wheel measurement and chassis setup are required. It is specifically designed to ensure maximum compatibility with the rims of the most diverse vehicle sizes, guaranteeing accurate and repeatable results for suspension alignment and weight distribution optimization.
This precision tool is the foundation of measurement systems, ensuring that vehicle center of gravity and axle loads are set according to the strictest specifications.
Key Features and Advantages
The automatic rim clamp offers exceptional reliability and ease of use, minimizing setup time and maximizing accuracy.
- Wide Compatibility: Its design enables the safe and stable clamping of rim sizes ranging from 13 inches (approx. 330 mm) up to 18 inches (approx. 457 mm). This flexibility makes it ideal for various types of race cars and high-performance vehicles.
- Robust Construction: Made from high-quality materials to withstand heavy duty use and frequent operation on the racetrack or in workshops.
- Quick Fastening: The automatic mechanism enables fast and precise positioning, reducing the time spent on manual adjustments and the possibility of error.
- Measurement Accuracy: It rests directly on the rim bead, ensuring that the measuring system (e.g., measuring platforms) performs measurements relative to the geometric center of the wheel, which is essential for precise suspension alignment.
- Integration: Can be seamlessly integrated with the latest digital measurement systems, such as members of the Billet Scale Systems product family, ensuring real-time data transfer.

The Importance of Accurate Measurement in Motorsport
Maximizing the performance of race cars requires perfect weight distribution and precise adjustment of wheel geometry. This 18″ automatic rim clamp plays a key role in this process:
- Weight Distribution: The measuring systems use the weight measured at the four corners of the vehicle for adjustments. The wheel balancer ensures that the measuring platforms measure exactly at the center of the wheel, regardless of the rim profile. This is critical for achieving symmetrical loading, which improves grip and handling in corners.
- Wheel Alignment Geometry: The accuracy of setting the camber, caster, and toe angles directly depends on the stability of the measurement points. This clamp guarantees that the setting instruments receive a stable reference point.
Compatible Systems and Accessories
This rim clamp ideally complements the manufacturer's range of measurement equipment, including the most advanced digital systems:
- Billet Scale Systems: It works perfectly with professional scale systems such as the SW777RFX™ Wireless Professional Scale System or the SW700™ XBT™ Wireless Expert Weigh™ Tablet Scale System.
- Precision Hub Plate Systems: Although the rim clamp attaches to the rim, the system can also be supplemented with Hub Plate systems if the vehicle specifications require it.
- Software Support: Dedicated applications and software can be used to process and analyze the measured data, helping to quickly find the optimal settings.
This 18-inch automatic rim clamp guarantees reliability, accuracy, and versatility in the most demanding motorsport applications.
