BOSCH BITURBO CORDED TOOL POWER AND PERFORMANCE – WITHOUT THE CORD Trade professionals can work much more easily and efficiently without the inconvenience of power cords, but are cordless tools powerful enough for your more challenging tasks? Thanks to the BITURBO 18V range from Bosch Professional, the answer is yes. BITURBO cordless technology is revolutionising the workplace with power and performance equal to that of mains-powered tools rated up to 1800W. BITURBO products can replace large angle grinders, saws and rotary hammers, for example, in jobs once thought to be beyond the reach of battery-powered equipment. Bosch describes BITURBO as its most innovative and powerful range of 18V cordless power tools yet. That’s really saying something, when you consider the reputation of its products to date. To understand the significance of this advance, and its benefits, let’s take a closer look at what BITURBO is, how it works and what it achieves.
Feel the Extreme BITURBO tools offer revolutionary performance levels that give the feeling of extreme power. As the name BITURBO suggests, they combine two key elements to turbocharge the user’s working life: a high-performance brushless motor and the highpowered Bosch ProCORE18V Professional Battery System. Importantly, these two parts are designed to work together in a way that maximises each other’s performance. Brushless motors start with major advantages over traditional DC units, whose brushes generate friction and heat. This reduces energy efficiency and power, wears out the brushes – which then need to be regularly replaced – and ultimately damages the motor itself. A brushless motor is more efficient and powerful, gives a longer runtime per charge, needs virtually no maintenance and has up to twice the lifespan. The BITURBO brushless motor boosts power even further by maximising airflow to reduce resistance, and using a high-strength neodymium magnet (the strongest commercially available) to provide the necessary magnetic field.
