Tool Balancer
Tool balancers are used to hold a hand-operated tool in a pre-set position to minimise operator effort during the use of the tool. They are commonly used in the manufacturing, automobile, food and packaging industries. Raptor Supplies offers a wide range of tool balancers from brands like Hubbell, Packers Kromer, Ingersoll-Rand, Vestil and Speedaire. Tool balancers or spring balancers make tools nearly weightless, reducing operator fatigue and improving safety & ergonomics. Hubbell tool balancers are ideal for medium, heavy and extra-heavy duty applications. These tool balancers feature rugged die cast aluminium housing and a heavy duty steel wire rope for added strength and durability. They come with spring-loaded safety latches which are attached to both the top & bottom hooks for safety and can be easily adjusted with everyday tools from outside the housing. Vestil tool balancers feature a durable body and a large cable opening for simple connectivity to units, thereby reducing set-up and completion times. They are spring operated, do not require electricity to run and feature an adjustment screw which adds drag for fine tuning of tension.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the function of the cable in a tool balancer?
The cable is attached to a hook or other attachment point on the tool. The other end is attached to the balancer to counterbalance the tool. Doing this increases the operator's comfort and reduces the risk of injury.
How to fix the tool when imbalanced?
- Ensure that the tool is suspended by the balancer and then rotate to check for any imbalance.
- If an imbalance is detected, adjust the position of the counterweights or the tension in the cable / spring until the tool is balanced.
What is the function of the safety locking device in the Ingersoll-Rand tool balancer?
A safety locking device ensures complete safety by preventing load dropping due to spring breakage and allows users to lift, as well as float the load with maximum ease.
