The SBC-15 Series Spring Balancer is a "clean room" tool balancer used in production of electronics, pharmaceuticals, and other environmentally sensitive components. Its specially sealed aluminum case provides a Class 10 protection rating which meets most clean room requirements. The cable is sheathed in nylon to prevent metal flaking and contamination of the clean environment. It can be used with a multitude of tools including torque drivers and vacuum pin setters. Like the EK-N series, these balancers can be fitted with a grounding wire to dissipate static electricity.
