Compact, ergonomic and cost-effective balancers are
streamlined to fit virtually any work space, improve
productivity by keeping tools organized and safeguard
expensive power tools from possible accidents with
superior suspension features
Balancers are devices designed to provide constant cable tension
throughout a specified length of cable travel. A true balance condition
is achieved through precise power-spring tension control and a unique
cable drum design which matches the torque buildup from the power
spring. Tools or loads attached to Aero-Motive
®
Balancers become almost
weightless in the hands of operators, allowing maximum freedom to work
more efficiently and reduce fatigue throughout work shifts, leading to
increased productivity.
