Cleco BL-3B BL Series Spring Balancer | 7.9' Cable Length | 0.1" Cable Diameter | Steel Housing

When lightweight assembly tools need to stay positioned above the work area, the Cleco BL-3B BL Series Spring Balancer helps keep the tool supported, organized, and ready for the next cycle. Rated for a 0.5–2.3 kg / 1–5 lb load range, this balancer is suited for compact screwdrivers and similar handheld assembly tools where reducing repeated lifting can improve workstation flow and tool handling.

The BL-3B uses a 2.4 m / 7.9 ft cable length and 2.5 mm / 0.1" cable diameter, giving operators vertical reach while keeping the suspended tool secured to the balancer. Its spring mechanism counterbalances tool weight, meaning the tool feels lighter in hand and returns to a controlled suspended position when released. The painted steel housing provides a durable enclosure for production benches, assembly stations, and MRO work areas.

FAQs:

• Q: What tool weight should be used with the Cleco BL-3B?
  A: The BL-3B is specified for tools weighing 0.5–2.3 kg / 1–5 lb. Include the working weight of the tool plus any attached hose, cable, or accessory when checking fit.
• Q: What does a spring balancer do?
  A: A spring balancer offsets the weight of a suspended tool using internal spring tension. This helps the tool feel lighter during use and keeps it parked above the work area when released.
• Q: Is the BL-3B a good choice for assembly screwdrivers?
  A: Yes, the BL-3B is well matched to lightweight assembly screwdrivers and similar small tools that fall within the 1–5 lb capacity range.
• Q: How long is the cable on this balancer?
  A: The BL-3B has a 2.4 m / 7.9 ft cable length, providing vertical travel for bench-mounted, rail-mounted, or overhead workstation use.
• Q: Can the working height be adjusted?
  A: Yes. The adjustable cable stop allows the suspended tool position to be set to the operator’s preferred working height.
