Tool & Load Balancers

Air Balancers

The Demag D-BP II Air Balancer is ideal for assembly processes in a variety of manufacturing environments including the most demanding automotive applications.

Its jerk-free, continuous three-dimensional movements provide the precision needed for fragile loads. The Load Weight Compensation feature assures
loads of different weights are lifted at almost identical, safe speeds and picking up and setting down can be accurately controlled. Load Balancing feature allows loads to be floated almost effortlessly where they need to be. The ability to use fast lifting speeds makes the D-BP II the optimal solution for fast pick-and-pack operations.

Technical Features

Significantly higher lifting/lowering speeds possible (adjustable up to 6.5 ft./second)
Very silent operation compared to chain hoists, far below 70 dB(A)
Load balancing without the use of buttons for up to 150 lbs. is available as an option
The load weight compensation safety feature is standard for all up/down control systems
No jerky movements during lifting/lowering procedures, and no shock load
No polygon-effect at all
Duty cycle 100%, even with low speeds
Market leading range of options to suit almost any application

Safety Features of the D-BP II Air Balancer

Patented overspeed brake
Load weight compensation for up/down air balancers maintains a safe speed independent of the load being lifted
Interlock function can prevent an accidental release of the load from a suspended gripping device
Baseload function keeps the air pressure at a safe level, enough to balance the weight of the gripper.

Economic Features of the D-BP II Air Balancer

Higher speeds result in shorter cycle times and more efficient and cost-effective operation
Wearing-free overload protection
Simple maintenance – rope exchange in less than 15 minutes
Almost unlimited lifetime, with little maintenance required

Electric Balancers

Easy, Extremely Efficient Intuitive Load Handling Rated At The Top Of The List In Ergonomic Value.

The DCBS Electric Balancer is part of our DC chain hoist line, allowing loads to be guided and precisely positioned with ease, making it a vital lift assist device for your operations. Our chain hoist balancer DCBS units are available in two sizes with load capacities of 275 & 550 pounds. Additionally, these electric balancers are compatible with all enclosed track, light rail and I-beam crane systems. DCBS units can easily travel on steel and aluminum profile section rails: on single-girder suspension cranes, suspension monorail systems, or on slewing jib cranes. This gives you a range of application options to use your electric balancer.
