A spring tool balancer is a device that suspends a tool and allows it to be used with minimal effort. It uses spring tension to offset the weight of the tool, reducing operator fatigue and improving ergonomics.

A balancer counterbalances the tool’s weight along the cable, creating a zero-gravity effect and allowing it to stay suspended at any point. A retractor pulls the tool back to a preset home position when released—better for lighter tools and does not balance weight across cable travel.

Consider the tool’s weight, required cable travel length, and workspace conditions (temperature, mounting space, etc.). Contact us to help you choose the right model.

No. Tool balancers are not designed for lifting or transporting variable-weight loads. They support consistent weight and are not suitable for material handling tasks. They are not hoists.

Commonly used in automotive, aerospace, electronics assembly, furniture manufacturing, industrial production lines, and other areas where heavy tools are frequently used.

A friction brake adds slight resistance to the drum, helping stabilize variable-weight tools (for instance, when part of a hose rests on the ground). It’s optional and useful in specific cases only.

"cable travel" also called "stroke" or "cable length" Is the total length the tool can move vertically while suspended. For example, a 6.6 ft travel balancer allows the tool to move up and down within that range.
