Yale Spring Balancers YBA with Safety Features 9-70kg

Spring Balancers with Safety Features

Spring Balancers are designed to relieve the operator from the weight of hand-tools and achieve a comfortable, less fatiguing operation.

By using a tapered rope drum the weight of the attached load is compensated, heavy objects can be moved effortlessly in a vertical axis. Common applications are spot-welding guns, riveting-machines, slaughterhouse equipment and multiple nut-runners etc.

Yale spring balancers YBA have the same technical features as the YBF ones but are equipped with an additional safety feature in case of rope breakage.

This mechanism automatically locks the rope in case of accidental dislodging of the suspended weight, breakage of the bottom hook or the rope. Whipping of the rope and potential injuries to the operator or other personnel in the area is avoided. This range of Yale spring balancers is used primarily in areas in which higher safety standards are applied or adverse conditions are common (flying sparks etc.) which might cause damages to the rope.

This YBA series is available with standard and extended rope length.
