Ingersoll Rand BIDS-10 Intermediate Duty Spring Balancer with Safety Hook is designed to support tools and other suspended loads during repetitive assembly, production, service, and maintenance operations. It provides a 15.4–22 lbs load capacity and 6.5 ft lift, helping counter the weight of supported equipment so it can be positioned more easily throughout the available cable travel.
The BIDS-10 is part of the BIDS Series of intermediate-duty spring balancers and has a listed 5.5 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 series also includes a locking device to block the load at any height, an adjustable stroke-limiting device, upper rotary suspension with a safety hook, and a safety device intended to prevent load dropping in the event of spring breakage.
