Ingersoll Rand BAW015080 Zimmerman Air Pneumatic Balancer with Single Control | 150 (lbs.) Capacity

Ingersoll Rand Zimmerman BAW015080 Air Pneumatic Balancer is a compressed-air-operated load-balancing system built for suspending and manually positioning constant-weight tools, fixtures, and components. Part of the Balance Air (BA) Series, this model provides a 150 lbs load capacity at 100 PSI and 80 inches of vertical travel. Its single balance control uses a self-relieving air regulator that automatically supplies or exhausts air to maintain the desired load position. Unlike pendant-operated balancers, this configuration allows operators to raise, lower, and position a balanced load directly by hand, making it suitable for repetitive workstation operations where controlled load movement and consistent positioning are required.

The BAW015080 features a single-wire-rope configuration with constant-tension balancing throughout its range of motion. The regulator can be adjusted to balance a specific load, allowing the operator to reposition suspended equipment with minimal resistance or maintain it at a selected working height. Its construction includes an all-steel housing, engineered plastic components, aircraft-grade wire rope, and a self-closing cast safety hook. The balancer also incorporates a pre-lubricated piston chamber and supports continuous-duty pneumatic operation. With a 6.5-inch balancer diameter and 50 lbs net weight, this model provides a compact handling solution for tool suspension, weld gun positioning, and assembly fixture support.

Applications:

• Tool balancing: Suspending constant-weight tools at assembly stations to reduce the effort required for repeated handling.
• Weld gun suspension: Supporting welding equipment while allowing operators to manually adjust working positions.
• Fixture suspension: Balancing assembly fixtures that require controlled vertical movement and consistent positioning.
• Automotive manufacturing: Supporting tools and handling equipment used during repetitive vehicle assembly operations.
• Industrial production workstations: Suspending constant-weight equipment for accessible and repeatable manual positioning.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the maximum load capacity of the Ingersoll Rand Zimmerman BAW015080?
  A: The BAW015080 has a rated capacity of 150 lbs at 100 PSI. Actual operating capacity depends on the available compressed-air pressure. For lifting applications, Ingersoll Rand recommends keeping the working load within 80% of the operating capacity, including the weight of any handling device.
• Q: How does the single balance control operate?
  A: The single balance control uses a self-relieving air regulator to automatically add or exhaust air as the load is raised or lowered. It maintains balance for a constant-weight load, allowing manual positioning with minimal resistance.
• Q: Does the BAW015080 use a pendant control?
  A: No. The Balance Air Series uses single balance control rather than a pendant. Operators move the balanced load directly by hand.
• Q: What type of equipment can this pneumatic balancer support?
  A: The BAW015080 is suited to constant-weight equipment such as weld guns, assembly tools, and fixtures, provided the total supported weight is within the applicable working capacity.
• Q: How much vertical movement does the BAW015080 provide?
  A: This model provides 80 inches of vertical travel, allowing the suspended load to be manually raised, lowered, and positioned within its operating range.
