Learn About Spring Balancer

• What Is a Spring Balancer?

  A spring balancer, also known as tool balancers or tool retractors, is a device that can suspend, lift, or lower a tool using a spring mechanism.
  It has a hook at the top and bottom. The top hook is usually latched onto a rigid steel beam just below the ceiling. The bottom hook is attached to a steel cable, and the bottom hook will latch onto your tool. You can make adjustment to the tension at the center of the device.
  They are widely used in assembly and production industries to improve ergonomics, efficiency, and safety. We have wide range of selection where the tool or load can weight up to 60kg.

• How a Spring Balancer Works?

  Spring balancers work by balancing between the tension of the spring and the weight of the tools, hence the name. The tension of the spring according to the weight of the load to achieve your desired effect.
  With a spring balancer, you can keep your tool at a constant position, move it up or down with minimal effort, as if the tool is weightless without gravity.

• What are the Benefits of Using a Spring Balancer?

  It can reduce fatigue and strain. You don’t have to hold or support heavy tools or objects, reducing the physical stress on your arms, shoulders, back, and neck. Most notably, it can reduce the risk of repetitive strain injury (RSI). This can improve the overall comfort, productivity, and safety.
  Increase work efficiency and quality. Spring balancers can help you to move your tool around faster and easier, reducing time needed to carrying heavy tool. Without a heavy tool to worry, you can improve the quality of work and reduce errors.
  Enhanced safety in workplace environment. A modern and successful plant put emphasize occupational safety and health. Spring balancers can prevent tools from falling, reducing the risk of injury.
  On top of that, a falling tool will usually result to a broken tool, and using a spring balancer is a cost-effective way to prevent that.
