Ingersoll Rand BAW005060 Zimmerman Air Pneumatic Balancer with Single Wire Rope | 2 - 50 (lbs.) Capacity

Ingersoll Rand Zimmerman BAW005060 Air Pneumatic Balancer provides a compact compressed-air-powered balancing solution. This Balance Air (BA) Series tool balancer supports a 2–50 lbs load capacity with 59 inches of vertical travel, allowing operators to adjust the working height of suspended equipment. Its single-wire-rope configuration incorporates a flotation feature that counterbalances the load, reducing resistance during manual positioning. The adjustable external regulator enables operators to set the balancing force for the supported tool or component, making the unit suitable for repetitive assembly and workstation handling tasks.

The BAW005060 accommodates different tool weights within its rated capacity without requiring a different balancer model. Its pneumatic float action allows operators to raise, lower, and reposition suspended equipment directly by hand without pendant controls. The unit can also be sequenced through an air signal for timed or stepped operation when incorporated into a suitable pneumatic control system. Requiring just 20 inches of headroom from the bottom of the rail to the bottom of the hook, this balancer helps accommodate installations with limited overhead clearance. It features a 10.24-inch balancer diameter and weighs 19.8 lbs, with routine maintenance that can be performed while the unit remains installed on its rail.

Applications:

• Assembly workstations: Suspending frequently used tools for repetitive production and assembly operations.
• Automotive manufacturing: Balancing tools and lightweight fixtures that require repeated manual repositioning.
• Welding workstations: Suspending compatible welding tools within the balancer's rated load range.
• Industrial production lines: Supporting constant-weight equipment that must be raised or lowered between working positions.
• Tool handling systems: Integrating pneumatic balancing into overhead rail arrangements for controlled vertical tool movement.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the load capacity of the Ingersoll Rand Zimmerman BAW005060?
  A: The BAW005060 supports loads ranging from 2 to 50 lbs, with a maximum rated capacity of 50 lbs at 100 PSI. The available balancing capacity depends on the compressed-air pressure supplied.
• Q: How much vertical travel does the BAW005060 provide?
  A: This model provides 59 inches of vertical travel, allowing suspended tools or equipment to move between different working heights.
• Q: How does the flotation feature work?
  A: The flotation feature uses pneumatic balancing force to counteract the weight of the suspended load. Once adjusted through the external regulator, the operator can manually raise, lower, and position the load with reduced effort.
• Q: Can the BAW005060 accommodate different tool weights?
  A: Yes. Its external regulator allows the balancing force to be adjusted for different loads within the 2–50 lbs capacity range, eliminating the need to change balancer models when switching between compatible tools.
• Q: Does the BAW005060 require a pendant control?
  A: No. This Balance Air model uses pneumatic flotation and an external regulator rather than an up/down pendant. Operators position the balanced load directly by hand.
