WHAT ARE TECNA SPRING BALANCERS?
TECNA Spring Balancers are innovative mechanical tools designed to simplify your work, increase efficiency, and enhance safety. These remarkable devices are perfect for technicians, engineers, and production managers seeking a more streamlined approach to handling suspended loads, making their team’s job safest and most efficient.
Key Features:
Constant Tension: TECNA Spring Balancers employ a spring motor and a specialized drum (zero gravity balancers or retractor balancers) to maintain constant tension on the cable. This ensures that your suspended tools or equipment move with ease, following your precise commands.
Ergonomic Support: TECNA Tool Balancers go beyond mere load support. They serve as indispensable tools themselves, making it effortless to position and operate hand tools, heavy equipment, and machinery. You’ll experience reduced physical strain and increased maneuverability.

TECNA TOOL RETRACTORS BALANCERS: return tools to a preset rest position after use, usually out of the way of the work area. The tool is often affixed to a cable, which is wound onto a spring-loaded reel to perform the retraction.
TECNA ZERO GRAVITY BALANCERS: These extraordinary balancers offer natural balance throughout their entire stroke length, facilitating the effortless handling of tools and equipment.
With TECNA BALANCERS, your tools will feel nearly weightless, resulting in less operator fatigue and enhanced safety and efficiency.

Improved Workspace: By preventing tools from falling and getting damaged, TECNA Spring Balancers contribute to a more efficient and organized work environment. Benjamin Franklin’s wise words — «a place for everything and everything in its place» — have never been truer.

Benefits:

Ergonomics: Promote proper ergonomics in daily tasks, reducing worker strain, and thus making your team enjoy their job.
Efficiency: Improve production efficiency by making tools nearly weightless.
Tool handling: Suspend tools for easy access and prevent damage.
Repetitive Tasks: Assist workers with repetitive tasks, enhancing productivity.
Versatility: Hold fixtures, tools, welding guns, hoses, pipes, and more.
Clean Workspace: Keep equipment, cables, plugs, and sockets off the floor to eliminate trip hazards and damage risks.
Reduce Effort: Minimize worker effort when sliding or opening/closing barriers, doors, and hatches. Cable and Hose Management: Use as a festoon system to reduce wear on cables and hoses.
Precision: Stabilize tool position, improve accuracy, and reduce operator motion.
Fatigue Reduction: Minimize worker fatigue, particularly during extended tasks.
Multiple Tool Sizes: Suitable for tools of various sizes, ensuring versatility.
Tool Protection: Reduce the risk of tool damage or falls.

CHOOSING YOUR TECNA BALANCER:
Selecting the ideal TECNA Balancer is crucial for maximizing the benefits. Consider the following factors:
Load Capacity: Determine the weight your balancer needs to support.
Cable Stroke: Calculate how much you need to move your load.
Cable rope Material: Opt for Dyneema/Polypropylene cables for delicate surfaces, as alternative to the standard stainless steel cables.
Environmental Conditions: explosion-proof situations with gases, gasoline, fumes, etc. will require our dedicated TECNA BALANCER of the ATEX family. In case of particularly aggressive chemical environments or hazard, TECNA FOOD INDUSTRY BALANCERS provide a valuable solution. If you are handling electronics or electrical elements or work in a ESD PROTECTED AREA (EPA), our TECNA ESD PROTECTED BALANCERS will
be your saviours.
