Clore Automotive introduced its new PRO-LOGIX Model PL6850, 12/24 Volt 120A Flashing Power
Supply and 120/60/40/10A Battery Charger. The company said the PL6850 is designed to provide stable power—on demand, up to 120 amps, to a vehicle electrical system to support module reprogramming, ADAS recalibration, electronic repairs and diagnostic tasks. It also provides full service 12/24V battery charging capability from 10 to 120 amps, to service everything from small vehicle batteries to Group 31 multi-battery packs, Clore said.
In power supply mode, the PRO-LOGIX PL6850 provides power to maintain vehicle electrical system
voltage at a preset level, increasing its output in response to system load increases to maintain a stable
power environment for successful reprogramming. It features a voltage output range of 13.1-14.9V (12V)
or 26.1-29.8V (24V), adjustable in 0.1V increments, allowing the operator to dial the output in exactly as
specified by the supplier of the vehicle under service. According to Clore, it features fast load responsiveness for ultra-quick recovery from system demand increases. It also delivers its massive power with minimal voltage ripple (<100mV), providing a clean flow of power to the vehicle without risk of programming interference.
link hidden, please login to view added that in charging mode, the PL6850 utilizes advanced microprocessor-controlled logic to optimally charge each battery or battery pack serviced. It features the ability to properly charge a wide variety of battery types, including Conventional, AGM, Spiral Wound, Start-Stop, Deep Cycle and Marine lead acid batteries, plus LiFEPO4 Lithium Batteries – enabling beneficial service of virtually any battery type installed in a vehicle. It adapts its charging approach based on the needs of each battery or battery pack it services, including activating a soft start mode on deeply discharged batteries and a battery repair mode on older/distressed batteries. It is also effective on totally dead (0.0V) batteries with its forced start mode, the company said. Clore explained the PL6850 features detachable and field-replaceable input cable and output leads. The #2 AWG output leads are 13’ long, enabling easy access to vehicle batteries/packs under any condition. The unit includes a handle for easy transport around a shop or in and out of a mobile service vehicle.

Various Types of Bearing Brake Disc(source from :rdbrake.com)
The primary function of bearing brake discs is to provide a stable and reliable surface for the brake pads to grip, thereby facilitating effective braking. When the brake pedal is pressed, the brake pads clamp onto the spinning brake disc, generating friction that slows down the wheel's rotation. The bearings within the brake disc assembly ensure smooth and consistent rotation, minimizing wear and tear on the braking system.
Types of Bearing Brake Discs
Ventilated Brake Discs: These discs feature internal vanes or vents that allow air to circulate, dissipating heat more efficiently. They are commonly used in high-performance vehicles and heavy-duty applications where heat management is crucial.
Solid Brake Discs: These are simple, flat discs without internal vents. They are typically used in smaller or lighter vehicles where excessive heat build-up is less of a concern.
Drilled and Slotted Discs: These discs have holes and grooves that enhance heat dissipation and improve braking performance, especially under extreme conditions. They also help in expelling dust and debris from the braking surface.
Composite Brake Discs: Made from a combination of materials such as cast iron and carbon composites, these discs offer superior performance, reduced weight, and enhanced heat resistance. They are often found in high-end sports cars and racing applications.
Maintenance of Bearing Brake Discs
Regular maintenance of bearing brake discs is essential to ensure the longevity and reliability of the braking system. Key maintenance practices include:
Inspection: Regularly inspect the brake discs for signs of wear, such as grooves, cracks, or uneven surfaces. This can prevent potential brake failure.
Cleaning: Keep the brake discs clean from dust, dirt, and debris. Use appropriate cleaning solutions and tools to avoid damaging the surface.
Lubrication: Ensure that the bearings are properly lubricated to reduce friction and prevent overheating. Use the recommended type and amount of lubricant for optimal performance.
Replacement: Replace the brake discs when they show significant signs of wear or when they reach the manufacturer's recommended lifespan. Timely replacement can prevent more severe damage to the braking system.
