Pneumatic Balancers Balancers

Print Version

Today's material handling applications require an ergonomic lift assist that interacts with the operator and multiplies his/her effort. The Balancer offers lifting solutions to meet these needs through "float" and built-in safety features. Ideal applications include tool balancing, weld gun suspension, and fixture suspension. IR offers 5 models of the Pneumatic Balancer that have a load capacity between 50 to 2000 lbs. (22 to 909 kg). Cable travel in terms of up/down movement varies from 40 to 120 inches (1016 to 3048mm) depending on the model. Balancer suspension kits can accomodate enclosed track, I-Beam, patented track, and hook mount. An optional Z stop offers protection against the drifting of loads in the event the main air supply is interrupted. See Ergonomic Handling Systems catalog for details. Three type of controls are provided depending on application - BA, ZA, or EA.

BA control: For Suspending and or positioning constant weight items ZA controls: For Lifting, hoisting, and positioning variable loads EA controls: For lifting and positioning constant loads
