The APEX AB24M is a compact, commercial-accuracy manual wheel balancer designed for shops and serious garages that want precise digital balance results in a flexible, space-saving format. Featuring hand-spin operation with electronic measurement, the AB24M can be mounted directly to APEX tire changers or installed on a bench, wall, or vertical support to fit virtually any shop layout. It delivers dependable accuracy, low maintenance, and excellent value, all backed by BendPak engineering and industry-leading warranty and support.

Overview

Commercial Accuracy in a Compact, Manual Design

The APEX AB24M is engineered for shops and serious home garages that want professional balance accuracy without the footprint, cost, or complexity of a fully motorized balancer. By combining manual wheel rotation with advanced digital measurement, the AB24M delivers consistent, repeatable results in a streamlined package built for efficiency and value.

This design makes the AB24M an ideal solution for one to two bay shops, mobile or space-constrained operations, side-hustle businesses, and performance garages that need accurate balancing without dedicating floor space to a standalone machine.

Hand-Spin Operation with Digital Precision

Instead of relying on a motorized spindle, the AB24M uses technician-controlled hand-spin operation to bring the wheel up to balancing speed. Once spinning, advanced digital sensors measure imbalance accurately across both inner and outer planes, delivering precise correction values quickly and reliably.

An integrated manual brake allows the wheel to be slowed and positioned with control, holding it steady for accurate weight placement without electronic braking systems or additional motors.

Advanced Digital Sensing Architecture

The AB24M is built around a high-performance digital signal processor paired with a streamlined single-chip architecture. This design improves processing speed, reduces latency, and minimizes heat buildup, contributing to consistent measurements and long-term reliability.

High-precision quartz piezoelectric sensors detect imbalance forces in multiple directions simultaneously, capturing longitudinal, transverse, and shear loads for dependable accuracy across a wide range of wheel and tire combinations.

Flexible Mounting for Any Shop Layout

The APEX AB24M is designed to adapt to the way your shop works, not force you into a fixed layout. It can be mounted directly to APEX swing arm tire changers using the included mounting hardware, creating a compact changer and balancer workstation that keeps tire service and balancing in one efficient footprint.

For shops or garages that prefer a dedicated setup, the AB24M can also be mounted to a workbench, wall, vertical support post, or other suitable structural surface. This flexibility makes it easy to integrate into tight spaces, mobile operations, or customized shop layouts where floor space is limited.

By allowing multiple mounting options, the AB24M gives growing shops and serious garages the freedom to configure their workspace for efficiency today while remaining adaptable as their operation evolves.

Designed for Speed and Ease of Use

An intuitive digital interface guides technicians through wheel data entry and balance procedures quickly. Bright LED indicators assist with precise 12 o’clock weight placement, simplifying clip-on, tape, and split-weight applications.

Automatic weight optimization calculates the minimum corrective weight needed, helping reduce consumable usage while improving overall efficiency.

Built for Durability and Low Maintenance

With fewer moving parts than motorized balancers, the AB24M offers reduced maintenance requirements and long-term durability. Precision-machined components and a hardened shaft ensure stable operation under daily use.

Backed by BendPak’s U.S.-based technical support and industry-leading warranty and support structure, the AB24M provides long-term confidence in a compact, value-focused balancing solution.

A Smart Performance and Value Choice

The APEX AB24M delivers professional balance accuracy in a simplified, space-efficient design. It is the right choice for shops and serious users who want dependable results, low operating costs, and proven BendPak backing without unnecessary complexity.
