SW8.8k RFX™ Wireless Scale System
This detailed description of the SW8.8k RFX™ Wireless Scale System showcases how it combines state-of-the-art technology with the reliability required for precise race car weight adjustments. This system is an ideal choice for racing professionals who seek maximum accuracy and wireless convenience during setup.
Product Overview
The SW8.8k RFX™ is a top-tier, fully wireless weighing system designed for the most demanding motorsport applications. The system utilizes the latest RFX® wireless technology to ensure seamless communication between the scales and the display unit, eliminating potential cable interference and tripping hazards. The exceptionally high-quality, precision-machined components guarantee long life and consistent, repeatable measurements.
This system serves for the extremely accurate determination of the total vehicle weight distribution, which is essential for achieving optimal race car handling and performance.
Key Features and Advantages
- Wireless Freedom (RFX® Technology): The built-in wireless transmitter units are located in each weighing pad, eliminating the need for cumbersome or fragile cables between the pads and the display. This increases safety and facilitates setup in the toolbox or on the track.
- Exceptional Accuracy & Capacity: The system provides extremely precise measurements while having a high load capacity, making it suitable for most race car types.
- Robust Construction: The scale pads and housings are constructed from durable, high-strength materials that withstand the rigors of a harsh racing environment.
- User-Friendly Operation: The wireless display (or optional PC software) offers an intuitive interface for quick reading, storing, and analyzing weight data.
- Weight Distribution Calculation: The system automatically calculates the front/rear, left/right weight percentages, as well as the total crossweight distribution, assisting in fine-tuning the setup.

System Components and Accessories
The SW8.8k RFX™ system basically consists of four wireless load cells and their corresponding display unit. However, to maximize performance, several accessories are available:
Load Cells and Leveling
The basis for precise measurement is a perfectly horizontal surface.
- Billet Axle Leveling Unit: CNC machined leveling elements ensure that the load cells compensate for even the smallest irregularities, guaranteeing accurate weight data.
- Laser Leveling System: Optional accessory that visually assists in the quick and flawless horizontal leveling of the pads.
Data Processing and Software
Wireless data processing is crucial for optimizing setups.
- RACEWEIGH Software and Wireless Unit: Enables direct transmission of measurement data to a PC, where dedicated software allows for in-depth analysis, graphs, and setup logging.
- Thermal Printer: Possibility to instantly print measured data on site for documentation purposes.
Storage and Shipping
Special storage solutions are available to protect expensive and precise measuring instruments:
- Scale Pad System Storage Case: Robust storage solution for the safe transport of scale pads.
- Carrying Cases (for 4″ and 2.5″ Pads): Carrying bags of different sizes are available to protect the pads and accessories during transport.
- Precision Hub Plate System Case: Special case for wheel hub adapter weighing systems (if the user chooses this configuration).
Application Areas
The SW8.8k RFX™ system is the ideal choice in the following areas:
- Formula Racing: For extremely sensitive weight distribution adjustments.
- Touring Car and GT Racing: High load capacity and reliability for long race weekends.
- Drag Racing: Fast, repeatable measurements for launch weight optimization.
- Prototypes and Special Vehicles: Any application where center of gravity and weight distribution are critical parameters.
This wireless weighing system offers the perfect symbiosis of accuracy, speed, and convenience for modern motorsport engineers.
