Tool Balancers & Reaction Arms
Tool balancers hold the weight of a hand tool on a cable so the operator does not have to carry it. They are used with powered tools at fixed workstations. Hanging a tool from a balancer also keeps it off the bench and clear of the work.
Assembly lines use them to reduce strain and keep tools within reach. Consider the load the balancer must carry, the cable travel, the mounting method and the working height of the station.
- Supporting nutrunners at assembly stations
- Reducing operator fatigue over long shifts
- Keeping tools within easy reach on lines
