Balancer arms (or balanced manipulator arms) are machines with a rigid manipulator arm designed to lift large and heavy loads. They are pneumatically powered and manually operated, allowing smooth, precise actions for manoeuvering components. This system is low effort and feels weightless to the operator, allowing them to lift and manoeuvre bulk loads with minimal labour.
The ability of balancer arms to move components outside of their centre of mass creates optimal control of the load, regardless of its size or weight. The manipulator takes the strain of the load from the operator and can provide precise grip and movement for lifting, lowering, and transporting components precisely where you want them.
Balancer arms have a wide range of applications across all industries and can be supplied as a lift-only device, or as part of a turnkey solution with a bespoke gripper to allow rotations and more complex manoeuvres.
