Spring Tool Balancers
The position of the object can be maintained or it will retract when no external force is applied, depending on the spring adjustment. By incorporating a spiral groove on the tapered drum, the winding radius aligns with the spring's torque buildup, effectively neutralising it and achieving a state of equilibrium. This results in smooth, effortless vertical movement, reducing fatigue for the operator and improving control. Yale spring balancers are designed with this balance in mind, offering dependable performance in busy workshops and assembly environments. By keeping the tool weight offset, they help workers maintain accuracy without strain. It also means tools can stay safely suspended when not in use, reducing trip hazards and accidental drops.
