Bal-Trol
Air Balancers / Air Balancing
Hoists feature two distinct
styles of units, and four control
packages. Selection is made
on the following important criteria:
1)Weight:
What the Bal-Trol
needs to lift
2)Application:
Type of control required Balancer:
When a tool or fixture must
be virtually weightless Sensi-Touch:
Pick and place application for
small sized loads Speed
Handle: Pick and Place
application for large loads
Multi-balance: Select
when a Bal-Trol
requires a fixture plus multipule
loads
3)
Space required for mounting-
two options to select from:
Full capacity Units: Featured
on pages 7 & 8 offer 1:1
ratio, these units are dimensionally
longer than modular units.
Modular Units: Featured on pages
9 & 10, for use when mounting
space is limited. In the illustration,
the two units have the same
travel and capacity. 1.83m of
travel at 90Kgs. Capacity. 1:1
ratio equal 2.1m Bal-Trol
length modular equals 0.9m Bal-Trol
length
TYPES
OF BALANCERS:
Balance Control (B)
- For Constant Weight Balancing
Applications Purpose:
Balancers are intended for applications
where a constant weight is supported
from the load hook. Function:
Balancers give a degree
of weightlessness to the suspended
load. Results:
They give object mobility, minimal
operation fatigue, protects
tools from being dropped or
damaged.
Balancer
with High Relief Regulator
Adjustment is simple, no addition
tools required. Turn the adjustment
knob until desired balance is
achieved. Should the main air
supply be cut off, check valves
keep load from falling. Chart
reflects the range of capacity
for units supplied with regulator.
Balancer with Servo Valve Bleed
No additional tools required
for adjustment. Works in conjunction
with High Relief Regulator.
Simply turn the servo knob until
balance is achieved. Check valves
keep load from falling in the
event main air supply is lost.
Load lowers gradually. Hose
between regulator and servo
is a steel braided hose; in
the unlikely event; hose is
severely damaged, load will
fall.
TYPES
OF CONTROLLERS:
Sensi
- Touch (S) (SL)- Load
Hook Is Directly Under Control
Purpose:
For applications where load
hook is directly under control
Function:
This lift assist is used for
pick and place applications.
Results:
Enables objects to be loaded
and unloaded. When sensi-Touchcontrol
is specified Bal-Trols (full
capacity or modular) Air Balancing
Hoists are ‘more than
just a Hoist.’
Speed
Handle Control (H) -
Remote Control From Load Purpose:
This is used for loading and
unloading objects that are large
in size. Function:
Speed handle control utilises
push button for the up and down
movement. Results:
Like the Sensi-Touch, this control
allows for variable speed. This
control may be used with full
capacity or modular units.
