Most standard harmonic balancers are assembled with inserted dampening rubber which won't handle the torque forces and higher revs the modern engines generate. This leads to spinning of the inertia ring resulting in loss of timing accuracy and eventual component separation. Often these balancers are made of relatively weak Grey cast iron which often cracks in the keyways and centre webbing.

Even expensive all steel or alloy performance balancers from most manufacturers use similar rubber inserts which still break down over time in the same way as standard balancers.

POWERBOND balancers eliminate these common failures in standard and performance balancers by positively bonding the dampening rubber to the metal components under extreme heat and pressure.The state of art bonding process used on all POWERBOND models eliminates spinning of the inertia ring and separation of the dampening material in even the most highly stressed applications.

Every POWERBOND harmonic balancer is manufactured from all new materials; either high strength SG (nodular)iron or AUSI 1045 steel precision CNC machined for total accuracy. Every assembly is balanced at the factory to precise tolerances.
The ultra modern manufacturing process allows all new POWERBOND balancers to be sold at the price of manufactured exchange units - so you get true value for money without the hassles of core return and exchange.

STREET

The POWERBOND STREET series brings bonded balancer technology within the budget of every performance street engine builder from mild to wild. They also make a great heavy duty standard replacement balancer.

POWERBOND STREET balancers are also perfect for limited spec race classes such as late model stock that require an OEM style balancer.

The bonded dampening rubber in every POWERBOND STREET series balancer eliminates spinning and component seperation giving reliable performance in engines used to 6500rpm.

POWERBOND STREET series combine new high strength SG (nodular) iron balancers centres with new inertia rings, bonded then balanced to extremely tight tolerances.

All POWERBOND STREET balancers feature easy to read permanently etched timing marks on the outer ring.

The POWERBOND RACE series brings the advantages of bonded balancers to high revving race and street/race applications where an SFI approval is required.

Every POWERBOND RACE series balancer features a precision CNC machined AUS 1045 steel centre bonded to an equally strong steel inertia ring. Advanced design means that race series balancers are very light for an all steel product. An most cases they are only marginally heavier than the original cast iron balancer and generally much lighter than all steel balancers on the market.

The steel inertia ring of the race series models is positively protected against forward and backward movement and has the assurance of bonded rubber to eliminate spinning.

Every model has easy to read computer etched timing marks. All POWERBOND RACE series meet SFI specification 18.1.

SERPENTINE

Late model engines with SERPENTINE belts driven off the damper ring create much higher loads on both the inertia ring and dampening material. The strength and durability of POWERBONE is even more critical on SERPENTINE engines, particularly in performance or race applications.

POWERBOND SERPENTINE dampers are available for popular late model applications including Chev LT1, LS1 and LS6 and the Ford 4.6 and 5.4 litre Modular series. To give engine builders maximum flexbility, STREET and SFI RACE versions are available. In addition, RACE versions are offered in standard diameter, 10% underdrive, 25% underdrive and 8 rib drive for supercharge conversions.

With race engine builders using higher compression ratios and higher RPMs to maximise power, the effectiveness of lightweight harmonic balancers can be severly compromised.

POWERBOND engineers have developed the new EXTREME SERIES balancers for popular race applications. The new designs have substantially increased inertia mass without increasing overall weight.

A new rubber compund with extremely high temperature resistance is used in the bonding process to provide long term optimum dampening performance in the most severe race applications.
