OVERVIEW

Enhance Ergonomics and Efficiency with the FA132 Tool Balancer

In high-paced industrial environments, operator fatigue and workspace organization are critical factors in maintaining productivity. The FA132 Tool Balancer is engineered to address these challenges by providing a reliable, ergonomic solution for suspending tools weighing between 6 and 9 pounds. By neutralizing the weight of the tool, this spring-loaded device allows operators to maneuver equipment with minimal effort, effectively creating a "zero-gravity" experience that reduces strain on the wrist, arm, and shoulder during repetitive tasks.

Designed for versatility, this balancer features a generous 6.5-foot cable travel, ensuring that tools can be easily pulled down for use and retracted out of the way when not needed. This range of motion is ideal for assembly lines, packaging stations, and maintenance benches where operators need freedom of movement without being tethered by short cables. The unit is housed in a durable metal casing, built to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use, protecting the internal spring mechanism from dust and impact.

One of the standout features of the FA132 is its integrated locking mechanism. Unlike standard retractors that always pull the tool back to the top, this model allows the user to lock the tool at a specific height. This is particularly useful for tasks that require the tool to remain stationary for extended periods or when precise positioning is required without constant downward force. Installation is straightforward with the included hanging hook, and the tension can be easily adjusted to match the exact weight of your specific tool, ensuring perfect balance every time.

Implementing tool balancers like the FA132 not only improves ergonomics but also protects your valuable tools from damage caused by accidental drops. It also keeps power cords and pneumatic hoses off the floor, reducing tripping hazards and cable wear. Whether you are operating pneumatic drivers, impact wrenches, or specialized assembly tools, this balancer is an essential addition to a safe and efficient workspace.

FAQ

The FA132 tool balancer is designed to support tools weighing between 6 and 9 pounds (approximately 2.7 to 4.1 kg).

Yes, this model features a locking mechanism that allows you to fix the tool at a specific height, relieving tension and preventing it from retracting fully.

The cable extends up to 6.5 feet (approximately 2 meters), providing a wide range of motion for the operator.

Yes, the tension is adjustable within the 6-9 lb range to ensure the tool is perfectly balanced and feels weightless during use.

Yes, as long as your angle grinder falls within the 6-9 lb weight range, this balancer is excellent for keeping grinders accessible and off the floor.

The balancer typically comes with a hook or shackle that attaches to an overhead beam, trolley, or jib crane. Ensure the mounting point can support the weight of the balancer plus the tool and any shock load.

If the tool is lighter than the minimum capacity (6 lbs), the balancer will pull the tool up to the top stop too aggressively, and you will not be able to balance it in a 'floating' position. You should choose a lighter capacity model.

Yes, the unit typically includes a rotary hook or swivel to prevent the cable from twisting during operation.
