Ingersoll Rand Front tire Changer Hurd Thunder Gun 1/2" Impact Side Exhaust Jimmy customizes the location, shape and size of the gun's exhaust port as requested by the customer. "Front tire changers want the port on the side because brake dust would blow in their face with a standard front exhaust. The new one has bigger port for more rpm." He says there's always a compromise between rpm and torque, "but in this situation you need both. So with this gun, torque will be the same off and on…it's just a little slower going on so you don't get the nuts too tight. If they're too tight, it can take more than 190 ft-lbs to remove the nuts. That might only take half a second (more), but that could be enough to lose 15 spots on pit road…The better teams hit 5 lug nuts in 8 tenths of a second and put 70-130 ft-lbs on each lug nut." Jimmy also modifies the reverse switch. Each tire changer wants just the right stiffness on that button, and Jimmy can 'tune' the effort required to push it. "Whatever you want, I can to it. Sometimes the valve will wear down and I have to replace it, and there are different buttons too." But switch stiffness is determined mostly by size and composition of an O-ring, and by ambient temperature. This gun puts out 1000 ft. lbs. of torque and turns at 18,000 rpm |

Peugeot 308 RCZ concept
Tue, 31 Jul 2007These are the first pictures of the Peugeot 308 RCZ concept car, scheduled to make an appearance at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show. Based on the forthcoming 308, the 308 RCZ is a 2+2 coupe - in the same ilk as Audi's TT. The construction focuses on lightweight, employing aluminum in the roll over protection bars, a polycarbonate rear windscreen and carbon fiber body panels. Design details of the dramatic concept include pronounced wheel-arches that blend seamlessly with the aggressive front fascia and a stepped beltline. The large offset between the door and rocker panel emphasizes the purposeful, sporting stance.
Lincoln crossover concept video hits the web
Fri, 18 Apr 2014Lincoln has released a video that previews a concept vehicle that could be the next MKX crossover. The short spot gives a glimpse of a large four-door luxury crossover with long rear doors and a relatively short cargo section in the back. The video gives little clue as to the concept's true dimensions, though it appears likely that this concept is previewing a second-generation MKX, to replace the model which has been on sale since 2006.
