What is a air balancer?
An air balancer acts as a hoist with one very important feature because of the compressibility of the air, the operator can take his hand off the pendant, place their hands on the part and actually "float" the part into position. The sensation is one of part weightlessness. Again, because the balancer is controlled with compressed air, speeds when compared to a traditional hoist are greater and a "feathering" of the controls to create a better part positioning can occur. |

Cable and Chain Configurations.
Knight offers the use of chain instead of cable. Chain is more durable when balancing weights in excess of 250 lbs [113.4 kg] and / or high cycle times are encountered. The use of cable under these conditions has a greater tendency to fray or "birdcage" requiring a more specific PM program. |
Specifications
The Cable is a carbon steel 6 (strands) x 31 (wires) Galvanized Independent Wire Rope Core (GIWRC) that is manufactured to the U.S. specification (DMS-2192E).
The Chain is a alloy steel; carburized and heat-treated with a zinc plated finish in accordance with ASTM B633-85, resistance welded. Mmeet the requirements of ASME/ANSI 30.16, DIN 685 & 5684, ISO 3077 and ISO 1834. |

Diverse Control Options.
Knight Pendant Controls are designed for precision handling of variable weight loads and allow the operator to adjust the handle for an ergonomically comfortable position. Up/down movement is achieved through the use of customer specified color coded thumb levers or by movement of the control handle (Feather Touch Control Handle). |
Internal and External Retract Controls
Knight incorporates a standard internal centrifugal brake to insure that any runaway load comes to an immediate complete halt. Optional external retract control imparts a controlled condition to the spooling of the cable. By adjusting the pressure of the shock, the spool will only be allowed to move in a chosen maximum speed. |
