ARB Brushless Motor Onboard 12V Air Compressor

ARB has expanded its line of premium air compressors with the new Brushless series. Long known as a leader in onboard and portable air compressors, the new ARB Brushless lineup offers the ultimate air compressors, featuring brushless electric motors, built in fans for active cooling, cutting-edge smart technology, and an impressive 50% increase in air output compared to ARB’s current market-leading compressors. ARB Brushless Air Compressors are compatible with ARB’s existing range of air accessories and hose kits, and ARB Air Lockers, making upgrading your current air system super easy! ARB Brushless Air Compressors allow you to spend less time inflating, and more time having fun: Quick Air, More Adventures.

The new ARB Brushless Single and Twin Compressors have been designed to complement ARB's
already market leading range and boast an impressive increase in output.

THE ARB BRUSHLESS ADVANTAGE

ARB is well known for a host of iconic products including air compressors(Opens in a new window). Whether powering an Air Locker differential(Opens in a new window) or inflating tires, ARB Air Compressors are the gold standard for mounted or portable air power. ARB is leveling up the air compressor game with the new Brushless Air Compressor(Opens in a new window) lineup, which offers a 50% increase in output over the existing line of market-leading air compressors. Plus, the Brushless units have active cooling, smart features, quick-release mounts, and an efficient design with class-leading airflow-to-weight ratio.

Brushless Air Compressors will be sold alongside ARB’s existing, world-class air compressors(Opens in a new window). Like those compressors, they’ll be available in four configurations - single and twin onboard(Opens in a new window) models as well as single and twin motor portable options.

SMART FEATURES

ARB has added a host of smart features to these compressors to provide user feedback and to ensure they’re built to last.

For starters, the ARB Brushless Air Compressors provide Status Reporting. Audio and visual alerts will keep you informed of exactly what’s happening with the compressor depending on its status or if there’s an issue. The reason it’s on the switch? Compressors are usually mounted in a spot that’s hidden away or far from the user. The switch is often in a place where the user can easily see it.

The ARB Brushless Air Compressors also have voltage and overload protection. This guards against power spikes and fluctuations and helps prevent damage to the electronics. Additionally, overload protection shields the compressor and its power supply from damage due to over-current or motor stall. Both features help to increase the compressor’s reliability, durability, and longevity.

ARB Brushless Air Compressors also have Active Cooling helping to optimize reliability and extend the life of each motor. This means users can power the compressors for longer periods of time without worrying they’ll cut out or need to cool down. 

If opting for one of the Brushless twin variants, they’ll come with Smart Start Up. This is a staggered starting feature that reduces power spikes at start-up allowing the twin to be used with smaller, less powerful charging systems. Plus, if your vehicle’s charging system becomes strained, the Brushless twin will turn off one of the two motors but keep working instead of completely shutting down. 

Another Brushless Air Compressor benefit? There’s no motor service, since there are no wearing components. This gives the air compressor an increased life cycle. So, no matter where you are in the world, your compressors will provide plenty of power and years of service.

Function Continuity
Programmed to constantly monitor performance and make necessary adjustments to account for external factors, such as temperature and variations in vehicle charging systems.

Smart Start Up
Twin compressors are designed with staggered “Power On” functionality to reduce initial inrush current and protect your vehicles electrical system.

Relays Eliminated
Relays have been removed from the onboard models to simplify and speed up installation. 

Status Reporting
Live Diagnostics with both audio and visual alerts.

Motor Isolation
Twin compressor models are programmed to shut down one of its twomotors to continue operating in low voltage situations.

Polarity Correction Harness
Portable Brushless models feature blue clamps and a polaritycorrection harness, allowing either clamp to be connected to eitherbattery terminal.
