Built for suspended tool support at benches, assembly stations, and production workcells, the Cleco BL-7C BL Series Spring Balancer helps keep compatible tools positioned within reach while reducing the amount of tool weight the operator has to carry during repetitive work. With an 8–15 lb load capacity, this balancer is suited for tools and accessories that fall within the stated weight range, while the 7.9 ft cable length gives the operator practical vertical travel for routine fastening, drilling, grinding, or assembly tasks.
The BL-7C uses a 0.1" diameter cable and painted steel housing for everyday production environments where tool control, station organization, and repeatable tool placement matter. A spring balancer counterbalances tool weight using spring tension, helping the suspended tool feel lighter in hand and return to a consistent working position between cycles.

FAQs:
- Q: What tool weight should be used with the Cleco BL-7C?
A: The BL-7C is rated for tools and suspended loads from 3.6–6.8 kg / 8–15 lb. The combined weight of the tool and any attached hose, cable, or accessory should fall within that range. - Q: What does a spring balancer do?
A: A spring balancer uses adjustable spring tension to offset tool weight, making the suspended tool feel lighter in the operator’s hand. It also helps return the tool to a repeatable working height between tasks. - Q: Can the working height be adjusted?
A: Yes. The BL Series includes an adjustable cable stop that permits adjustment of the tool to the required height for the workstation. - Q: Is the BL-7C housing plastic or metal?
A: The BL-7C is part of the BL Series listed with a painted steel housing. Smaller BL-1 and BL-2 Series balancers use plastic housing, but the BL-7C uses the steel-housing BL Series configuration. - Q: Is this balancer suitable for pneumatic tools?
A: Yes, when the total suspended weight of the pneumatic tool, fitting, and hose connection remains within the 8–15 lb capacity range. Always verify tool weight before selecting a balancer.
