Knight Pneumatic Balancers are designed to assist in transferring loads ergonomically using a variety of Up/Down pendants or Balance “Float” Control options. Pneumatic Balancers provide superior control over standard air hoists when it comes to locating and positioning loads.
Cable/Chain Balancers
Cable Pneumatic Balancers are commonly used when lower weight parts are required tobe floated into position. Chain Pneumatic Balancers are recommended when balancing weights in excess of 350 lbs. (*See note below) or when high cycle times are required. Knight balancers have a maximum balancing capacity of up to 700 lbs. [318kg] and travels
of up to 110 in. [2794mm].
Tandem Pneumatic Balancer
Tandem Cable or Chain Pneumatic Balancers were designed to provide the
weight capacities of a reeved pneumatic balancer application yet incorporate
the extended travels of a single cable or chain pneumatic balancer.
Tandem Cable and Chain Pneumatic Balancers double the load capacity of a
single balancer without sacrificing vertical travel.
Reeved Pneumatic Balancer
A Reeved Pneumatic Balancer increases the mechanical advantage of balancing a product. The pneumatic balancer reeve and pulley offers a second suspension point which gives greater stability to the load. Reeving an pneumatic balancer doubles the balancing capacity.
