Ingersoll Rand BIDS-7 Intermediate-Duty Spring Balancer with Safety Hook is designed to support tools and other fixed loads during repetitive vertical movement in assembly, production, maintenance, and MRO applications. It provides an 8.8–15.4 lbs load capacity and 6.5 ft lift, helping compensate for the weight of supported equipment so operators can move compatible tools with minimal effort along the cable travel.
The BIDS-7 combines a stainless-steel cable with an anti-friction cable guide and ribbed, sealed monobloc construction in aluminum alloy. Its intermediate-duty design includes a locking device to block the load at any height, an adjustable stroke-limiting device, and an upper rotary suspension with safety hook. The manufacturer also specifies a safety device against load dropping due to spring breakage for the BIDS Series.
