Because
the Yale Air Balancer offers a float capability, positioning
of materials
is easily accomplished. This makes the balancer ideal for
applications that require
relatively fast movement and accurate positioning. A hoist,
on the other hand, has
fixed stop positions with no float. Therefore, accuracy of
positioning depends on
lifting speed and operator dexterity. Applications particularly
suited to the Yale
Air Balancer include palletizing and stacking, pick and place,
load and unload.
The float capability is especially valuable for tool balancing
and assembly. |

CAPACITY
- 500 Lbs. |
|
EFFORT
- Minimal. |
|
|
|
AIR
PRESSURE - Only 90 psi (6 bar) required for rated capacity. |
|
Engineered
for applications that require precise positioning or repetitive
transferring of loads as heavy as 500 lbs. (600 lbs. for double
reeved models).
By making loads virtually weighless, the Yale Air Balancer
increases employee
productivity, reduces fatigue, and alleviates risk of cumulative
trauma disorder.
Operators can lift and position loads precisely, time after
time, regardless of
personal strength. |
|
VERSATILE
FLOAT CAPABILITY |
|
Once
the load is positioned at the desired elevation, the Yale
Air Balancer
provides float capability. For units with pendant control,
the float is 8 inches up
and down. For units with balance control, float is the entire
working range. The
float feature allows the operator to position the load easily
and precisely by hand. |
|
100%
DUTY CYCLE |
|
Due
to the operation of its pneumatic power source, there is no
limit to the
number of start/stop cycles the Yale Air Balancer can perform.
The resulting
performance allows for reliable productivity. |
|
LOST
LOAD PROTECTOR* |
|
Because
protection from injury due to loss of an unsupported load
is one of the
industry's most vital concerns, the Yale Air Balancer features
the Lost Load
Protector. Should the load be released accidently, the control
system
immediately stops the rapid upward movement of the chain and
attachments,
thus preventing possible injury to the operator. |
|
|
LOCK
OUT-TAG OUT DEVICE* |
|
|
An
additional safety feature is the Lock Out-Tag Out Device.
If the balancer
should malfunction, sustain damage, or require maintenance,
the device can be
set to prevent the compression of air in the cylinder, making
it impossible to
operate the balancer. The balancer can be returned to service
by
resetting/reinstalling the device. |
