Fortisky FWB-70B Computerized Wheel Balancer: 24" Capacity with Auto-Start
Also searched as: FWB-70B / Fortisky wheel balancer / computerized tire balancer / digital wheel balancer
The Fortisky FWB-70B is a computerized wheel balancer with ±1g precision and 7-second measurement cycles. Handles rims up to 24" and wheel weights to 143 lbs. Features 5 balance modes for steel and alloy wheels, electronic brake, and auto-start when the wheel guard lowers. Runs on 110V single-phase power.
Who It's For
General Tire and Auto Shops
Fast, accurate balancing for passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks. The 7-second cycle keeps throughput high. Five balance modes handle steel wheels and alloy rims without switching machines.
Shops Adding Wheel Service
At 212 lbs with 110V power, the FWB-70B fits most shop configurations without electrical upgrades. Pairs well with the FTC-1660 or FTC-T8 tire changers for complete wheel service capability.
Dealership Service Departments
Multiple ALU modes handle factory alloy wheels correctly. Electronic brake holds position while adding weights. Self-calibration keeps accuracy consistent across high-volume days.
Features
±1g Balancing Precision
High-precision sensors deliver accurate imbalance readings. The system displays residual imbalance values under 5g when needed for fine-tuning. Minimum displayed value adjustable to 5g, 10g, or 15g.
5 Balance Modes
Dynamic: Clip weights on both sides. Static: Single-plane balancing. ALU1: Clip weights on rim shoulders. ALU2: Hidden weights inside. ALU3: Combination inside/outside placement. Select mode based on rim type and weight visibility preference.
7-Second Measurement Cycle
Spin, measure, stop. The 180 RPM shaft speed and microprocessor analysis complete a full measurement in 7 seconds. LED position indicators show exact weight placement locations.
Electronic Brake and Auto-Start
Electronic brake stops the wheel and holds position for weight placement. Lower the wheel guard and the machine starts automatically. No foot pedal, no button press.
Optimized Match Balancing
Built-in optimization function finds the best tire-to-rim position to minimize weight needed. Useful when imbalance exceeds 30g on either side. Reduces wheel weights and improves ride quality.
Self-Calibration
User-performed calibration maintains accuracy over time. Mount a mid-size wheel, add a 100g test weight at 12 o'clock, run the calibration routine. Recommended every 6 months.

FAQs
What rim sizes can the FWB-70B handle?
Up to 24" diameter, 3" to 12" width, max wheel weight 143 lbs. Covers most passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks.
What are the different balance modes for?
Dynamic: Standard clip-on weights both sides. Static: Single-plane balance when you can only add weight on one side. ALU1: Clip weights on alloy rim shoulders. ALU2: Hidden adhesive weights inside. ALU3: Combination placement for alloy wheels.
How accurate is it?
±1g precision. The display shows residual imbalance under 5g when you need it. Minimum display threshold adjustable to 5g, 10g, or 15g based on preference.
How does auto-start work?
Lower the wheel guard and the machine starts the measurement cycle automatically. No button press required. Electronic brake stops and holds the wheel at the weight placement position.
What's optimized match balancing?
A function that calculates the best tire-to-rim rotational position to minimize total imbalance. Useful when one side shows 30g+ imbalance. Reduces weight needed and improves balance quality.
How do I calibrate it?
Mount a 13"-15" wheel. Enter rim parameters. Press and hold the calibration keys. Add a 100g weight at 12 o'clock. Run the calibration spin. Recommended every 6 months or when accuracy drifts.
Does it require compressed air?
No. The FWB-70B is electric only. 110V / 60Hz / single-phase power. No shop air connection needed.
What maintenance is required?
Keep shaft, cones, and flanges clean. Store cones protected from dust. Calibrate every 6 months. Check bearings annually if used more than 2 hours per day. Lubricate only if bearing noise develops.
