ENDO SPRING BALANCERS

Top hook

What is Spring balancers?

The tension is kept stable on even if the cable is pulled out or retrieved because of the tapered drum. So Spring balancers can hold the tools suspended in hollow and work for flexible positioning of the tools. Workers can enjoy comfortable operation with less fatigue.

ENDO Spring balancers can play their active parts in;

Suspending a tool for product assembly line. Frequent fastening screws, bolts and nuts. Suspending a jig, tool, welding gun etc.

Advantage
The balancers improve working efficiency and diminish worker fatigue. The balancers make the position of a tool stable and contribute to accurate work. The balancers are available for keeping a tool clean. Any electric or pneumatic power is not required and safe working is achieved.

Bottom hook

Features

All features are not always available on all balancers.

Fall arrest devices

The fall arrest device is provided against tool drop caused by spring breakage.

Secondary support hanger

The secondary support hanger is available on every model.

Gauge
The gauge indication contributes to worker recognition on tension adjustment.

Drum lock system

Drum lock is available for easy tool or cable replacement.

Cartridge spring
Cartridge spring provides easy and safe spring replacement.

Wire rope replacement

The plug fixing system provides the easy cable replacement.

Selection of suitable model

Always use a suitable model meeting the total weight of suspended tool or instrument. The balancer should be selected considering the weight of the tool and accessories. (Example) 1. The weight of a tool (assuming that it is 14kg) the weight of accessories (3kg) is equal to 17kg (Total weight). EWF-22 or ELB-22 (15 to 22kg) is suitable for the application. 2. If the total weight is on the border of models, please select larger model. It will provide longer spring life. The tool weight (19kg the accessories weight (3kg) 22kg. EWF-30 (22kg to 30kg) should be selected. If the fall arrest system works at the situation, please add an additional weight to recover the system.

Installation
Install Spring balancers uneven not to hit each other when the balancers are installed in a line. Always employ a secondary support chain and leave the slack for smooth swivel. Always adjust the spring tension to meet the total weight of tool and the application.

Spring tension adjustment

Worm gear system, Ratchet system or Handle system are available and dependent on the models. Clockwise adjustment increases the spring tension and Counter clockwise adjustment decreases the spring tension.

Torque reel
This model with a long cable travel is suitable for hanging pendant switch and so on because of its ratchet system.

Features
This can be stopped on the way of cable travel because of ratchet system. (ER-3A, ER-5A, ER10A) The jamming of the cable will not occur because of its cylingrical drum. They has long cable travel (ER-3A3B, 5A5B = 3m, ER-10A10B = 4m) and are designed light and compact.

Air tool balancer

This model has the function of both hose reel and balancer. This one is suitable for hanging the air tool and so on, and the hose is arranged in order.

StructureCharacterictic
Instead of the cable of balancer, the urethane hose is wound. So to speak, hose reel has the function of balancer. Air tools can be easily moved up and down. Casing and drum are made of acrylonitrilebutadiene-styrene resin and they are light. Hose is the urethane hose. Always keep it away from fire. The diameter of hose nipple is 9 at inlet portion. and swivel joint size Rc, 1/4 at outlet portion.

Air tool reel

Features
An included spring works to retract a hose into the device automatically. A contained hose solves the short of air consumption for air tool owing to a large inner diameter of 10. A ratchet system applied for the device can keep a tool suspended at any position on the hose travel where you want. On-off work of ratchet system is available through knob operation. The fall preventive system from the tool drop works when the included spring has been broken. You can adjust the spring tension using a warm adjustable system. An enclosed swivel joint contributes to easy installation.
