Ingersoll Rand Zimmerman ZAW035080 Pneumatic Balancer is a compressed-air-powered lifting and positioning system equipped with pendant control for repetitive material handling and assembly operations. Part of the ZA Series Zim-Air product line, this balancer provides a 350 lbs lifting capacity at 100 PSI with 80 inches of vertical travel. The single-wire-rope configuration uses an ergonomic up/down pendant with color-coded thumb levers for controlled lifting and lowering. Variable-speed operation lets operators adjust load movement when positioning components, loading machinery, or transferring materials between workstations.
The ZAW035080 features an automatic balanced-load condition, also known as float mode, which allows up to 18 inches of manual positioning travel after pendant operation. This functionality supports accurate component alignment without continuous pendant adjustments. The balancer includes a 12 ft pendant hose, an all-steel housing, aircraft-grade wire rope, and a self-closing cast safety hook. Additional features include an emergency centrifugal cable retraction brake, load-holding protection during air supply interruption, and intrinsic overload protection. The unit has a 10-inch diameter and a 62 lb net weight, key specifications for overhead installation planning.
