Explosion Resistant Balancers
Explosion-resistant tool balancers are built with spark-resistant components and ATEX certification for hazardous areas where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust are present - paint and finishing lines, chemical plants, fuel handling, and powder or grain facilities. They take the weight of a tool and hold it safely without becoming an ignition source.
Choose by tool weight, cable travel, and the ATEX zone you need to meet. For non-hazardous areas see tool balancers; for static-sensitive work see ESD balancers. Supported in the USA by Tool Balancers USA.

Explosion Resistant
Spring tool balancers are essential equipment in any workshop containing heavy hand tools. Working in an environment with combustible gases requires explosion-resistant balancers. There is an array of TECNA models with up to 108 inches of stroke equipped to handle your balancing needs.
You can get the hook type for easy mounting to your overhead support, or go with the shackle attachment. The TECNA 9355AX and 9223AX are examples in our collection with different attachment styles. Also, the models available range from simple spring retractors to ATEX zero-gravity models.
There is an extensive selection for weight, stroke, and other qualities that fit unique applications. For example, you can have models with friction breaks and those without.
All explosion-resistant balancers in our collection use stainless steel cables. Stainless steel cables provide excellent strength in load-carrying capacity.
The collection contains balancers that can carry as little as 0.9lb to those designed for over 200lb. A prominent example is the TECNA 9509AX.F, designed to carry weights of up to 220lb with a stroke of 83β. It weighs 37 lbs, is ATEX certified, and has a friction break.
ATEX-certified tool balancers suit potentially explosive atmospheres with combustible materials or flammable gases. We have about 58 in our collection, split between the simple spring retractor and the zero-gravity balancer. As a result, you can pick which type offers you the most work flexibility while being suitable for use in explosion-prone working environments.
