Description

The Kromer 8228-05 (legacy number 7228-05) is a zero-gravity tool balancer for tools weighing 11.5-14.3 lb - for example die grinders or medium nutrunners - and works equally with any other tool or fixture in that weight range. Constant retraction force means the tool floats weightless and stays exactly where the operator leaves it across the full 5.2 ft of cable travel, rather than being pulled back to a start position.

The 8228 is Kromer's lightest industrial balancer frame - impact-resistant plastic housing and drum, with simplified load setting. A cable wedge sets working cable length anywhere within the cable's total length, without changing the balancer's cable extension range. A manual lock system is available as an option on this type.

Buy Together

Spring Tool Balancers Spring tool balancers offer versatility, giving you several options to fit into your workshop. Depending on your needs, you can purchase standard balancers for weights as little as 0.9lb (0.4kg) or above 300lb. The quality remains uncompromised, from the aluminum body to the stainless steel cable carrying the tools. Get the required stroke to cover the range needed in your workshop. The available products have strokes as little as 51” or as much as 118”, giving you movement flexibility. Pick a typical tool retractor or use a more sophisticated zero-balancer balancer. The latter retains a solid aluminum exterior with stainless steel cables. In addition, the strokes are within typical workshop ranges. You can get options like Dyneema and polypropylene instead of stainless steel cables. They may include friction breaks or not. Nevertheless, they are high-quality and ready for installation in your workshop. Tool balancers are necessary for workshops amd assembly lines to increase productivity and reduce worker fatigue. You can get those with simple hook mechanisms to attach to overhead supports. The simple retractors can connect bolts, nuts, or shackles to overhead supports.
