This is the original power adapter from Cheyenne — the piece that connects the tattoo machine to the mains and supplies the DC current it needs for stable operation, converting AC from the wall outlet. It is aimed at studios and artists who need a replacement for a lost or faulty adapter, or a second unit dedicated to a mobile kit. As an equipment accessory, not a consumable, it is designed for intensive and long-term use.
Which Cheyenne machines is it compatible with?▾
It is intended for the Cheyenne range with a direct power port — such as Sol Nova, Sol Terra, Hawk Pen, Hawk Thunder, and Hawk Spirit. Before ordering, check your machine's connector type. It is not needed for machines powered via an RCA cable from an external voltage source.
Can I use a generic adapter instead of the original?▾
Technically it is possible if the voltage and amperage match, but it is not recommended. Generic adapters may deliver unstable current, which affects motor consistency and, in extreme cases, can damage the machine's electronics; additionally, using unauthorized accessories may void the warranty. As an emergency solution it works, as a permanent solution it does not.
Does it work on the 220V mains in Romania?▾
Yes, it is designed for the European 220-240V AC grid, which is the standard in Romania, without needing conversion or an additional voltage adapter. For extra safety, especially with older electrical wiring, an extension cord with surge protection is welcome.
What exact voltage and amperage does it provide?▾
The adapter delivers exactly the voltage and current required by Cheyenne machines, calibrated by the manufacturer for each model. The precise values are printed on the adapter label — check them there and do not modify them with external devices to avoid risking motor damage.
How do I maintain and clean it properly?▾
Unplug it from the socket before cleaning and wipe the casing with a slightly damp cloth, never under running water. Keep it away from ink and liquids, do not cover it during operation to avoid overheating, and coil the cable loosely without sharp bends at the connector. Periodically check the cable and plug for signs of wear.
How much does it weigh and is it easy to transport?▾
It weighs approximately 220 g, so it is light and practical for a mobile kit or convention bag, without adding significant weight to travel gear.
