Balance Air: What's Inside?

How does an air balancer work?

Balance Air Balancer Unit

Balance Air is a material handling concept that use balancers suspended from bridge and runway rail systems to allow you to easily move and manipulate heavy loads. With Balance Air, the load is carried by easy-to-operate balancers, and is held by a variety of end effectors.

Suspension Lugs: fits all standard suspensions and most trolleys.

Rugged Steel Housing: All-steel construction for added durability.

Injection Molded Reel: Engineered plastic for excellent durability and wear resistance.

Anti-Friction Ball Screw: Creates smooth rotation path for the cable reel.

Heavy-Duty Thrust Bearing: Absorbs piston force and transfers smooth reel rotation over the ball screw.

Low-Friction Cable Guide (not pictured): Ensures smooth cable feed on and off the reel.

Air Chamber and Piston: Forms the heart of the unit. Air entering the chamber pushes the piston to rotate the spool, wind the cable, and lift the load. Exhausting air lowers the load. Regulating this flow balances the load, creating a zero gravity float.
