What is a Spring Balancer?

Spring Tool Balancers are time and effort-savers, keeping your assembly tools close at hand for ease of access. Any load correctly suspended will “float” in space and can be moved with minimal effort. With heavy items, the spring tool balancer helps prevent workplace injuries by allowing a more than 350 lb. object3 to be moved up or down with two fingers.

Balancer vs. Retractor

Tool Retractors return tools to a preset rest position after use.

Zero-Gravity Balancers offer natural balance throughout the entire stroke length, facilitating the effortless handling of tools and equipment.

Applications for Spring Balancers

Pneumatics – Stitchers, Screwdrivers, Drills, Hammers, Emery, Staplers

Power – Welding guns, Riveters, Strapping, Saws, Drills, Sanders

Hydraulics – Riveters, Clinching machines, Wrenches

Special Applications – Irons, Vacuum cleaners, Sports tools, Cable guide, Fuel pumps, Gardening, Leather processing, Meat processing, Food & beverage, Robotics, Logistics, Tank washing
