The DR-TB Series Tool Balancers offer true zero gravity, with no drifting or strain. High quality springs and bearings along with a tapered drum allows smooth cable travel throughout the entire stroke. All high capacity DR-TB Series tool balancers also include an auto break safety mechanism and manual drum lock to help ensure operator safety.
Zero Gravity Tool Balancers
Tool Balancer DR-TB5K
Zero gravity tool balancers can hold loads of up to 264 pounds, which makes them ideal for suspending heavy-duty tools. The tool cable is wrapped around a tapered drum and loads a coiled spring, which means the tension remains constant through the entire stroke. This allows the operator to use less force to move the tool around, helping to minimize the risk of injury.
Tool Balancers: How to Pick the Right One
Ultimately, the right tool balancer for your shop depends on the specifications of your tools and workstations.
