Ingersoll Rand BSD-40 Super Duty Spring Balancer with Safety Hook is designed to provide overhead support for heavier tools and equipment during repetitive assembly, production, service, maintenance, and MRO operations. It provides a 66–88 lbs load capacity and 8.2 ft lift, helping counter the weight of supported equipment while allowing compatible loads to be positioned through the available vertical travel.
The BSD-40 is part of the BSD Series of super-duty spring balancers and has a listed 45.9 lbs balancer weight. The manufacturer specifies an aluminum housing and stainless-steel cable for BSD models. Series features include a safety device against load dropping due to spring breakage, upper rotary suspension with safety hook, anti-friction cable guidance, precision-guided cable winding, worm-screw capacity adjustment, visible cable for inspection, and cable replacement without balancer disassembly.

Applications:
- Assembly workstations requiring overhead support for tools weighing within the 66–88 lbs capacity range.
- Production stations where heavier tools or equipment are repeatedly raised, lowered, and repositioned.
- Automotive service and maintenance applications requiring supported vertical movement of compatible equipment.
- Industrial MRO workstations using equipment within the balancer's rated capacity.
- Workstations requiring an extended 8.2 ft vertical range for suspended tools or equipment.
FAQs:
- Q: What is the load capacity of the BSD-40?
A: The BSD-40 is specified for loads from 66 to 88 lbs. - Q: How much lift does the BSD-40 provide?
A: The BSD-40 provides 8.2 ft of vertical lift. - Q: What is the weight of the BSD-40 balancer?
A: The manufacturer lists the BSD-40 balancer weight as 45.9 lbs. - Q: Does the BSD-40 include a safety hook?
A: Yes. The BSD Series uses an upper rotary suspension with a safety hook. - Q: What type of cable does the BSD-40 use?
A: The BSD-40 uses a stainless-steel cable with an anti-friction cable guide. - Q: Can the BSD-40 support more than 88 lbs?
A: No. The specified load capacity is 66–88 lbs, so the complete supported load should remain within that range. - Q: Can the cable be replaced without taking the balancer apart?
A: Yes. The BSD Series is specified with cable replacement without balancer disassembly.
