Description

Sapsons Spring Balancers are industrial tool-support device designed to suspend and balance the weight of heavy hand tools or objects at a required height. They work on the coil spring mechanism that counterbalances the tool’s weight, making it feel almost weightless to the operator.

Technical Specifications

• Capacity Range: Available in various series, including a Lightweight Series and heavy-duty models with capacities reaching 40–50 kg.
• Material: Constructed primarily from high-grade steel or aluminium casting.
• Adjustment: Features a torsion adjustment device at the back for precise tension control.
• Movement: Equipped with a 360° forged swivel top hook to allow for easy tool positioning and cable flow.

 How It Works

• The tool is attached to the hook of the balancer.
• The balancer is suspended from an overhead support (beam or frame).
• The internal spring adjusts according to the tool’s weight.
• When the operator pulls the tool down, the spring extends smoothly.
• When released, the tool retracts upward automatically.

Applications

Used widely in industrial and workshop environments for suspending tools like:

• Portable power tools (drills, grinders)
• Holding pneumatic or electric screwdrivers and assembly fixtures.

( In Assembly lines)

• Welder guns & spray guns
• Drifting attachments in mining/quarries
• Gauges, jigs and fixtures
• Workstations requiring repeated tool use

(E.g. Fabrication shops)

Advantages

• Reduces operator fatigue
• Improves productivity
• Prevents tool damage
• Keeps the workspace organized and safe

Key Features

• Made with high-grade aluminium casting — compact and lightweight.
• Forged swivel top hook allows 360° rotation for easy positioning.
• Includes safety locking mechanism to prevent accidental drops.
• Tapered cable drum design ensures smooth cable tension through the travel length.
• External tension adjustment is accessible without special tools.
• Automatic drum lock prevents tool from falling during sudden drops.
