Always use a
secondary support on
overhead-mounted
balancers to prevent
the possibility of the
balancer accidentally
falling. See page 15

Balancers and tool support systems by
Woodhead improve the productivity of light
assembly, packaging, and many other shop
floor workers by keeping their tools out of
the way when not needed. With balancers,
workstations can be organized more
efficiently by ensuring that tools are always
in theright place. Expensive power tools
suspended from balancers are safeguarded
from being accidentally dropped onto the
floor or onto other expensive products or
equipment.
Selection Guide
When selecting a balancer, be surethat all
items to be supported are considered:
tools, drill bits,sockets, hoses, cable, etc.
This Selection Guide is to be used only as a
reference for non-ratchet lock devices. See
the main pages for ratchet balancer specs.
Actual selection depends on weight to be
balanced and cable travel required.

Positioners use an adjustable friction
brake to support the weight of the sus-
pended tool or object. The object can be
placed in any position within the cable
travel range and it will remain in that
position. The object can be moved down-
ward with very little effort, depending on
the adjustment; however, the full weight
of the object must be lifted to move it
upward.
Positioner
■Supports weight mid-stroke
■Must lift tool to upper position
■Support up to 4.5 kg/10 lb
Retractors are designed to retract the
cable when no force is applied. An amount
of downward force must be continually
applied to keep the suspended object at
its extended position. The torque output
of the rewind spring increases as the cable
is extended, retracting the suspended
object to the uppermost adjusted position
when released.
Retractors
■Retracts tools to upper position
■Light force to hold mid-stroke
■Retract up to 10 kg/22 lb
Balancers allow theworker to move the
suspended tool or object up or down
with very little effort. Depending on the
springadjustment, object will remain in
position or retract when no force is
applied. With a spiral groove on a
tapered drum, thewinding radius is
increased to match the torque buildup of
thespring, thus neutralizingit and
achieving a balance condition.

BALANCERS
Make tools

weightless
for faster,
safer
production
Aero-Motive® balancers suspend tools where they are easy to reach and use.
They allow workers to move faster with less risk of fatigue and repetitive
motion stress. They also help prevent tools from being misplaced or damaged.
True precision for optimimum productivity Many balancers on the
market promise “zero gravity” but deliver only within a narrow segment of
their range. TrueBalancers always live up to their name. That is why we offer
hundreds of choices ranging from 1.4 to 168 kg (3 to 370 lb) capacity.
Advances such as high-impact housings, spiral-grooved tapered drums, manual
drum locks and replaceable spring assemblies, ensure long-term performance
and value.
Safer & easier to use Redundant safety features are built into every
balancer. Simple tension adjustment and easy cable replacement also help
make Aero-Motive balancers from Woodhead leaders in safety and convenience
.

SPECIALTY REELS
Torque reels are reeling devices primarily designed for
suspending push-button pendent stations weighing up to 15 lbs.
Alock mechanism permits the operator to stop a load at a desired
height, while a slight pull on the cable releases the lock.

■Provides light, constant spring tension on the cable
■100 amperegroundclamp
■Rubber cable stop
■2050Y Reel with a “Y” bridle allows two ground connections at

•What kind of work flow occurs in the
area in question? Is it a straight-line
application? An X-Y axis? A radius
application? In this catalog, we have
indicated which workstations and
components are suitable for each
application.
•Consider the type of tool used and how
much of the work area the tool must be
able to reach.
•System total suspended weight should
not exceed 50 pounds for 5400 products,
30 pounds for 5200. Total suspended
weight includes tool balancer, suspended
tool, balancer trolley and cable or hose.
•Maximum unsupported horizontal
track length is 6 feet. When
mounting horizontal lengths of
track, it is essential that any one
unsupported length of track not
exceed this length.
•Maximum unsupported vertical
track length is 6 feet. When using
vertical lengths of track, it is
essential that any one unsupported
length of track not exceed this
length. Unsupported vertical lengths
oftrack that exceed 6 feet in
height should be mounted to walls
or work benches using a Model No.
5400-SC support clamp.
