Balancers
Balancers
Knight Pneumatic Air Balancers ergonomically help transfer loads using a variety of up/down pendants and balance “float” options that allow for greater control and speed over standard air hoists.
Safety Drop Stop “SDS” Pneumatic Balancer
The Safety Drop Stop “SDS” Pneumatic Balancer is the safest balancer in the world due to its ability to prevent a hoisted load from dropping in the event that the primary chain fails. The “SDS” Balancer prevents potential injuries to your operating personnel.
Single Cable/Chain Pneumatic Balancer
The Single Pneumatic Balancer is used in applications where a “float” condition is beneficial. Float allows for the hands-free final positioning of an object. The up/down speed of a pneumatic balancer is quicker when compared to a hoist and allows for a “feathering” operation when locating the load. The pendant controls are ergonomically designed and incorporate color-coded thumb levers.
Dual Drum “SDS” Balancer
The Dual Drum Air Balancer is designed with the patented Safety Drop Stop “SDS” dual chain feature. This type of Pneumatic Balancer is typically used in applications that require the manipulation of an unwieldy or large part.
External Retract Control Pneumatic Balancer
The external safety retract control is an adjustable safety feature that regulates the balancer’s speed of vertical travel. If a load is lost, the cable or chain will slowly retract into the balancer versus suddenly accelerating upward.
Limit Switch Pneumatic Balancer
The External Limit Switch Balancer incorporates up to two (2) spring loaded rod assemblies, two (2) limit switches and an external retract control to allow the customer the ability to relay an air pilot signal when predetermined heights have been achieved.
Reeved Cable/Chain Pneumatic Balancer
The Reeved Pneumatic Balancer Series is primarily designed for weights exceeding 450 lbs. [204 kg]. Reeving a pneumatic balancer increases the mechanical advantage of the product, and the stroke length is half the length of a standard balancer.
Tandem Cable/Chain Pneumatic Balancer
The Tandem Pneumatic Balancer Series is primarily designed for weights exceeding 700 lbs. [318kg]. Tandem pneumatic balancers are designed to provide the weight capacities of a reeved air balancer application, while simultaneously incorporating the extended travel benefits of a single pneumatic balancer.
Extension Arm Pneumatic Balancer
The Extension Arm Pneumatic Balancer Arm Series enables the operator to extend beyond the working limits of an overhead rail system within a workstation. It mounts to the extension arm allowing for a controlled lifting and lowering of loads. The KEAA2000 and KEAA2500 arms travel inside Knight’s RAD4110, RAD6110, or RAD7510 Aluminum Series Rail Systems.
