Ingersoll Rand BHD-15 Heavy-Duty Spring Balancer is designed to support heavier tools and fixed equipment during repetitive vertical movement in assembly, production, maintenance, and MRO applications. It provides a 22–33 lbs load capacity and 6.5 ft lift, helping counter the weight of supported equipment so operators can raise and lower compatible loads with less effort throughout the available cable travel. Ingersoll Rand describes its spring balancers as providing gravity-free suspension capability for supported tools.
The BHD-15 is part of the BHD Series of heavy-duty spring balancers and has a listed 22.7 lbs balancer weight. It uses a stainless-steel cable with an anti-friction cable guide and features ribbed, sealed monobloc construction in aluminum alloy. The BHD Series also incorporates a safety device against load dropping due to spring breakage, an upper suspension with rotary safety hook, precision-guided cable winding, manual locking, worm-screw capacity adjustment, and a spring drum assembly.
