Ingersoll Rand (BA) Series (Zimmerman) pneumatic balancers have no pendant controls and are used for single-load suspending applications – either at a fixed height or where both hands are used to manually raise, lower, and position (or “float”) a load. The operator experiences virtually no part weight or resistance in manipulating the load. The controller on this air balancer is a self-relieving regulator that automatically adds or exhausts air to raise or lower (float) the load to the desired height where it will remain suspended. The regulator can also be adjusted to slowly raise a load up and out of an operator’s way. The primary application for the “BA” series balancer is for suspending and/or positioning constant weight items.
DURABILITY: Balancers feature all-steel housing, engineered plastic, aircraft grade wire rope and self-closing cast safety hook.
RELIABILITY: Features include precise positioning, a pre-lubricated piston chamber, intuitive speed control, and continuous duty operation.
SAFETY
- Standard emergency cable retract brakes mean that if your load is accidentally lost, a spring-loaded centrifugal brake automatically stops the rapid upward cable travel.
- If the air supply is ever interrupted, the unit will maintain the load in the suspended position.
- The load being lifted can never exceed the unit’s maximum rated capacity at a given air pressure, providing intrinsic overload protection.
- The optional Z-stop eliminates the down-drift of suspended loads within 6 inches (152 mm) if air supply is shut down.
PRODUCTIVITY: Gain flexibility, with ultra-low air consumption, clean oil free operation, and cable travels of up to 120 inches depending on model.
- Suspension kits are available for virtually all enclosed track manufacturers, as well as I-beam, Patented/Hardened track, and Hook mounted configurations.
- Standard Z-Servo control (BA balancers over 200 lb., or 90.7 kg) amplifies the inputs and reduces the effort required to lift the load.
