The EK-N Series Balancers offer true zero gravity, with no drifting or strain. Tapered drum and quality springs and bearings provides smooth cable travel throughout the stroke. The EKN Series is used where electrostatic discharge can damage electronics or other sensitive assemblies, but where a "clean room" balancer is not needed. The EK-N is fitted with a grounding wire, which attaches from the balancer to the secondary support hook. The grounding wire safely dissipates any static electricity charge generated by the friction of the cable while the balancer is in use.

FAQ

How do I select the correct spring balancer capacity?

Choose a balancer rated for the exact weight of your tool/load. Never exceed rated capacity. We recommend selecting a model with a weight range where your tool falls in the middle of the capacity range.

How often should spring balancers be maintained?

Regular maintenance includes:

  • Daily visual inspection
  • Weekly cable inspection
  • Monthly tension check
  • Quarterly thorough inspection
  • Annual professional servicing

What's the typical lifespan of a spring balancer?

With proper maintenance, 5+ years of service life can be expected. However, this varies based on:

  • Usage frequency
  • Environmental conditions
  • Load conditions
  • Maintenance regularity

Can spring balancers be used outdoors?

While possible, we recommend indoor use or protected environments. For outdoor applications, special considerations for:

  • Weather protection
  • Corrosion resistance
  • More frequent maintenance
  • Possible special coating options

What should I do if my spring balancer loses tension?

  1. Immediately secure the load
  2. Check for cable damage
  3. Inspect spring mechanism
  4. Contact technical support
  5. Schedule professional service
